Default Racetech vs works shocks

I was thinking of upgrading on my CROSSBONES to either RACETECH or WORKS shocks. Had the WORKS on my DYNA and loved them,my indie recomends the RACETECH caddie shocks. Anyone have either of the two and some input? p.s. I know anything is better than stock,p.s.s. dont bother recomending PROGRESSIVES

I have never had Racetech shocks but ran Werks Performacne on several sport bikes I had. Excellent shocks all the way around. The great thing about Werks is you can also get them rebuilt if needed very easily by sending them back to them. I don't know what Racetech does.

Race-tech has a good rep with racers. They know what they are doing.

I put Race-tech springs and the gold emulators on the front end of my Road King, but haven't had any experience with the rear shocks.
