Default Works performance shocks

Works performance closed in late 2015 due to a death in the family /. It reopened in 2017 as Worxs performance shocks

anyone here have any experience with the new owner ?

You will get a better response on the Touring forum, wait you posted a thread there yesterday. Hopefully someone will chime in on this thread.

Nonsense.

When the only shocks you could get for a bike were Koni, Fox or Progressive (non rebuildable off the shelf shocks), Worx was building custom shocks, and all of their shocks could be rebuilt, at reasonable prices.

I have a pair of Worx shocks on my `89 Softail, and now that the company is back I can finally get them sprung a little lighter...

Found the guy new to suspension.

I personally would go with a bigger name in the industry. I know they had some issues filling orders back in 2015 and it left a bad taste in people's mouths from what I recall at the time.

I had some works back in 2007 on a Honda- they were good.

The new website looks like the old website. If the shocks are same as what they were selling before I'd be looking to get some.
I last had Works shocks on my 2014 Dyna and would run them again given the chance.
