Author Message   Brinnutz Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 02:42 pm:        Sorry if any of you were watching the Works Shock on eBay... I have been speaking with the company since it was listed the first time. I was told that I would be able to purchase the shock for 50% off if no one bid on it after 5 days. So, I called up Works today. They ended the auction and I purchased directly from them for 50% off!!! I'm sooooo stoked. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem=&item =330272254776#ShippingPayment Now, how do I set one of these up? It doesn't have rebound adjustment, fine with me.   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 02:52 pm:        Reading the auction: The shock will come with necessary instructions and tools for adjustment The instructions with my S2 shock were very easy to understand. Congrats, I love mine.   Brinnutz Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 03:10 pm:        I know that...But badweb knowledge>some instructions. =)   Bad_karma Posted on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 01:15 am:        Wilson I believe you will be happy with the shock. I have one on my S3. The only thing I would pass on is that the supplied tool probably won't break the jam nut loose. I had to use a punch and hammer. But the tool worked fine to adjust after that.

But adjustment should be easy, and secondary adjustment for ride hight, I lengthened or tightened the nyloc nuts on the two chrome rods...equally!!! you will like it and it looks so trick.   Bad_karma Posted on Wednesday, October 01, 2008 - 12:18 am:        They do look good but the sweet thing is that they work so much better than the stock shock. If they last longer that is all that I'm asking of it. Joe   Buell78758 Posted on Wednesday, October 01, 2008 - 08:22 am:        Are you SURE the shock does not have rebound adjustment? I would be very surprised, adjustable rebound damping is very important, and the least expensive Works shock comes with it. As you put on more pre-load on the spring, you need to increase rebound to compensate. Its a small allen screw you turn to adj the rebound.   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, October 01, 2008 - 09:25 am:        Even if they don't last longer...they're USER-REBUILDABLE. I love that   Brinnutz Posted on Wednesday, October 01, 2008 - 10:42 am:        From the auction: "The threaded spring pre-load is adjustable, however compression and rebound are set internally at the factory and cannot be adjusted on this shock by the rider."
