        I can talk to Ned, the manager and ask him if he would do a group sale. Let me know if you guys are interested. I would say wait until i test them out on some crappy roads and give some feedback first.

          For that price? Definitely interested...I'd give them the money tomorrow for a pair of shocks to show up in a couple of months.

              I have a set on the skunk. Older version but basically the same ARS works great. Best shock I've ridden on a GS yet (I've had stock, Koni, MDI, and progressives before)

                  Hi guys,

                  I spoke to Works Performance this morning and I worked out a little deal. It's not much but it's something.

                  10% off all shocks, springs and fork springs. I tried asking for more but their dealer pricing is only 15% so 10% is not bad.

                  If you guys are interested, reply here and we'll go from there.

                      For most of our builds you'd be looking at 10% off a shock build between 270-350 per shock (540-700 total without discount) depending on the features in which you are interested.

                        It honestly is a good deal. Race-Tech quoted me $1300 for the same setup. I heard nothing but good things about Works Performance. I went ahead and ordered the custom fork springs too while I was at it.

                          I thought you already had some super duper custom shocks?
                          Not super duper enough?

                          I am amazed than any of that bike is still in one piece.

                            Apparently not. They started leaking and finding seals for them is difficult. Also the springs are absolutely worthless and since these guys covered half the cost, I ordered the whole shebang anyway. These should be the last set of shocks i ever put on this beast.
