I just bought this shock for my tri-z.. Seller didnt know what make it is, but it was on a banshee. I was thinking maybe it was an older Works with a repainted spring.. Anybody know? :wondering It doesn't appear to have any clickers, i'm not too thrilled about that, but its surely better than the leaking sponge i have now...

Here are a couple of bad pics of my Works shock, It definitely looks like a Works shock. The only thing that says Works on it is a sticker on the reservoir.

You guys like em? How are adjustments made? Shim stack and oil type? It's from a banshee with a +4. hope it's not too stiff, I am heavy though.

I was using a revalved stock 84 shock before I got this Works shock. The difference on my 84 Tecate is night and day. I can jump higher with softer landings and hit the whoops infinitely faster than with the revalved oem shock.

FYI

You can add a stock Honda reservoir to that shock to have compression adjustably.

oscar they do not look liek a 200x the 200 has a shrter hose and a threaded base for adjustment the works shocks get there adjustment from a series of passages with balls and springs on the inside of diffrent sizes and pressures.
