RE: Rear Suspension

TheWorks Street Trackers can be built with either single-rate or dual-rate springs.Why would one choose one over the other?

RE: Rear Suspension

I have the Works Steel Trackers with ARS & DRS. Love them they are great for riding two up or single. Cost was about $500.00. But was worth the pennys I spent cause factory weren't carring the load! If you know what I mean.

Jimmy, I have 5 sets sitting here. No word from the manufacturer. I have sent over 5 e-Mails. They sent them to me for evaluation, no charge. As said before, with modifications they are good shocks. Look what is inside of them. I just wish they would send price list, and what we would have to do to get them. I plan on doing a group buy once we have them proofed out. They are far and above better than any of the above shocks mentioned above. Just look at the components. Shim packs, pistons, and correct spring rate custom selected in 12 1/2 lb increments for your application. A easy job.

RE: Rear Suspension

best thing to do is research you can spend as much as you want or as little but it's your tail. i went with progressive they make a couple of differnt styles.

RE: Rear Suspension

these shocks bear no relation to the ride you would get with any Progressive. Just open one up and see for yourself. A spring on a stick. Again, what you wish to spend just like you said. For the riders who wish a ride like your motorcycle should give you is what I am looking for. Progressive shocks do not fit that criteria.

RE: Rear Suspension

I'm thinking about going with the heavy duty hardtail struts in 13". So much easier on my head (and wallet) then all this stuff about valves and springrates and all that other stuff ya'll lost me along time ago on these topics. LOL
