Right behind you!
K well ive been looking for new shocks....i found some but idk if they will work. They are 16 inch from eye to eye. I know warriors are like 14 and a half eye to eye. Would it be fine a inch and a half longer? I dont think it would matter do you guys....whats the max length that i would be able to go?
 
I think that's going to be too much. You may be able to get the shock to fit, but your ball joints and tie rod ends might not be able to handle the angle. Either way, it's gonna sit goofy tall and narrow if they would fit. That extra inch at the shock mounts is gonna be an extra 4 or 5 at the wheels.
 
If you start doing that **** you're going to end up with all sorts of problems. 14-3/4" is the longest I would go.
 
Why don't you send in your Works back to Works for a re-valve? Would be cheaper then buying new ones...?

yeah i wasnt a big fan of my shocks anyways....they dont have rezzys and after a hard season they would need rebuild. Prob even before the season ended. I just want something a little more reliable for rough riding for long periods of time and maybe adjustable.

Well i didnt get that swingarm someone outbid me in the last couple mins so now i have more money to get shocks.

I hate when you put a bid in and no one has came close for like 2 weeks then the last 3 mins its going good and you go take a pee and the bid is just like $1 over yours but the auction ended.
 
hahaha well the guy asked me for a second chance offer. I think he rigged it though becuase he said he has another one and i dont belive him i think he just had one of his friend out bid me then told me to buy it for that price....im going to talk to him.....hahaha i do that all the time to help my bros out on ebay....hahhahaha
 
why the hell do you want a stock swing arm. I know the carrier is different but so what. How many times do you adjust your chain, like once in a year? I'd say my money man. IMO.
PEP and works suck anyway. They both use the same spacer setup on the shock body so it will wear out and I bet even the seals are ****. Just get some elkas.
 
thanks jason..i said peps and work are almost the same build on here awhile back and someone freaked out saying that peps are way better than works and arent even close to being the same build
 
k ill look for some elkas then...and i adjust my chain almost every ride because i ride all day and i ride it hard and it always loosens and it annoys the **** out of me. And i just think its cool, how has one of those on a warrior? Its unique hahaha.
 
well it doesnt matter im just ordering some elkas....and im not getting the swinger till after i get the shocks.....ill find another one. But there are two sets i can choose from....im not big into shock, as long as they feel good i like them. But i can eather just get the daul rate elkas with biggy backs w/ adjustable preload. or i can get the dual rate elkas with piggy backs w/ compression and preload adjustablity....what does it matter if i have the compression adjust? If i get them set up the from the company corectly why would i need to change anything?
 
In my opinion the biggest benefit of the lonestar swingarm isn't that you can get it in extended length. It's not that it has a honda style carrier that's easier to adjust. The real benefit is that it weighs about half of the stock one. The stock one weighs damn near 50 pounds I think, I know it's a monster and way overbuilt.
 
I've never heard someone comparing PEPs to Works? if that's the case why do some of the top pro atv riders use them? My buddy has some on his YFZ and they are really nice.
 
Compression allows you to adjust how soft or hard you want the shock for that specific track or riding area...

Really! Wow, that is pretty cool. I read also that the carrier is also a double row bearings. I supose to if you can get it for less then half the cost it is worth it.
 
well i told the guy 250 is the highest ill go and he hasnt emailed me back yet so idk hes selling another one for 275. So i might just get it becasue i still will have enough money to get my shocks....im selling my other warrior soon.
