the shocks that I have pictured at the very top are the works i have, theyre dual rate.. and if i dont have to get different springs, and all i have to do is take them apart and re assemble with new parts then fill with oil and have them charged than id like to do it my self.. but ill need some helps. i want to go that route so that i know how to do it also.
do i dis assemble then determine parts or gather parts then go go
If you are referring to the picture , with a pair of very blown, Works performance emulsion shocks, with blue main springs, and white tender springs laying next to a red a-arm, they are triple rate.. (3 springs per shock) There are (2) white tender springs per shock, and one (blue) mainspring.. To get them sprung correctly, you'd need to know a lot more than just rider weight.. A-arm width, type of riding you are doing, tire size, height and weight, skill level etc., all come in to play.... Also, there's a lot more to it than even just getting the spring rate correct. Piston port sizes, check valve backup spring rates, crossover collar ring gaps, etc all need to be set correctly for the shock to perform right, for your custom set-up.. If you have never done it, I can guarantee you will not be satisfied with the end result.. Like I said ealier, once they are dialed in, and you want to just do a service, the mechanically inclined guy with some basic tools can do it.. Revalving and respringing a set for your application, and not knowing what you are doing will net you lackluster or disapointing results.. Even if you don't want to send them to me, send them to a reputable suspension shop.. Honestly most customers say that after I have reworked their works shocks, they work better than they ever did new from Works. Sometimes the addage is true, that you get what you pay for...Just say'n..Evan @ SRS
