WORKS Shocks - very nice!

I don't hear much on these but after some research and a few phone calls, I ordered some...I've always been a sucker for something different so I thought I'd try something other than the "norm".
Very nice and knowledgable people - they ask some questions on weight, riding style, bike load etc... in order to custom tune the shock for me (with a 30 day rework guarentee). I didn't want the multi adjustable shocks, I really don't need them (I ride solo) and never really liked all the tuning (probably 'cause I'm not that well versed in it)
When I ordered them, they said they would be 2-3 weeks, they showed up at my door in about 8 days.
I put them on, went for a ride and what an amazing difference.
My bike has 28,000 miles so my stockers were beat - my biggest complaint was its tendency to "pogo" over large bumps or dips. All of that is gone. handling is good and the ride is much better than stock (I run Prog springs in front)
If you're looking for shocks, check them out -

here's a pic of the ones I bought - I'll get a pic of them on the bike later.

Been running Works Performance street trackers for Many miles--very good shock, even if it is made in California. The dual fork spring kit is just as good, IMHO. Have had the Works Performance dual spring kit in my front forks for almost 12000 miles, now; and I am still happy.

I am also running Works Performance shocks & fork springs on my T100. They did the same thing with me. Told me it would be a few weeks. A few days later I got a message on my answering machine saying that my order had shipped.
