bbcmudtruck Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I run works dual rates valved for my weight and mx, with the full flight +2+1 arms. If your going to just trail ride it and hit the occasional jump, I would get the recreational valving instead of mx. If you are going to jump all the time then I would suggest the mx valving. As far as replacing hiem joints, I have only had to replace one, due to a severe crash that dam near totaled my shee. Full Flights shipping can be a little slow, but the arms have held up for me. They are probably your best bang for your buck IMO. http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii224/b...ck/DSCN0236.jpg http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii224/b...nt=DSCN0245.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbcmudtruck Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Well thanks man! I have the works dual rates, and the rear shock was rebuilt by pep. I bought the rear from a fellow hq member. The shocks are %100 better than the old wore out stockers. Great investment to your machine.

Skidmark Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 These are works double rate with remote rezzies. I dont know how they're set up but they work really well for everything. No matter what, if you get aftermarket shocks you will be happy. Just get what you think will work best for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washburn Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Just woundering if i were to just get work shocks for now can i still upgrade my a arms without needing new shocks. Yes you can put a set of aftermarket shocks on your stock a arms then put them on a +2+1 set later on but you will need new stiffer main springs but they only run about 50-60 bucks. I run Elkas and I highly recomend them over any works shock. Even the Elka std no piggyback edition are a well worthy investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Just a little info for you. I first put works dual rates/rezzies on my bike and they worked better than stock. Ride was definitely nicer. I then upgraded to +2+1 arms. The A-arms made a huge difference in performance. The bike steers and corners so much better with the a-arms. The shocks made it ride nicer, but you really need both to get the full benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQUIRREL MASTER Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 i had tcs front and rear on my last bike and they were good. i got the set for $1000 ther not the best suspension but for the style of riding you mentioned they will work great.

2 STROKIN' Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Are you fucking serious? I raced local MX races plus the birch creek national last year on my banshee with a yfz front end. The yfz front end is awesome! I switched to works shocks, blew them on the first ride and went back tot he yfz front end. Since you probably dont believe me since you think the 450 front end swap is a joke, here is a video of me hitting the birch creek 110' triple on the yfz front end, and some pictures from practice days at another track. And to all you other 450 suspension haters, you must ride hard enough to know what good suspension is. WORKS SUCKS. Out of 5 quads Ive owned, I snapped 4 sets of front works shocks. They use the weakest shafts in the industry and if you ride hard, they are going to break. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cool: :beer: :cool: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...VideoID=5441697 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hercalmighty Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I went with Jennsan mx tech +2+1 arms and Elka dual rates with compression adjustment. I got the Jennsans because they come with a lifetime guarntee against breakage and bending. Most arms only come with a breakage guarntee unless you spend a ton on them. plus if your going to get arms make sure they are fully adjustable. http://s321.photobucket.com/albums/nn364/hercalmighty/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caddy 16v Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 ...how wide is the front end now with the janssen kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
