May 22, 201214 yr My Ty250,nothing special - at all,but possibly the most reliable and honest bike I have ever ridden.The term "Does what it says on the tin" could have been written for it. Because of its relative low value, I doubt I will ever sell it. Edited May 22, 201214 yr by jon v8
June 28, 201214 yr Trialsmutha's nice SWM from Victoria Australia http://www.trials.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=7418
July 21, 201214 yr Not as cool as Daves , but here's the old girl with new suspenders ...(and I need a better camera ...) Glenn And Keith , I'll see you at Lake Houser , so you can give her a romp ... Edited July 21, 201214 yr by axulsuv
July 22, 201214 yr They are from Works Performance , alloy everything , gas charged , dual rate springs, 13mm shafts (HUGE!) and serviceable Heim Joints at both ends along with a offset top mount to clear everything ,14 5/8 eye to eye and I was told the dampening rate is Lane Levitts end result from his Bultaco days way back when ... Works sends you a Dimension/ layout sheet for oneoffs like these so they get the dimensions and leverage / angles that the shock will be used at along with all the involved weights . They work Fantastic , No initial bind at all and on uphill muddy rooted stuff the back tire just stays planted , you don't feel any of the small stuff at all . unbelievable traction for a twinshock . Once I got the preload and sag set , it feels like a good modern mono now . and they are completely rebuildable with the correct tools and gas charging equipment . (that is all at my friends shop in NC.) And I didn't weigh them ,but I'd say their about 1/3 lighter than the falcons that came off .(and will get rebuilt one day and live on the FM330 or our overgrown TY80 ..) Now if I can practice enough to use 1/2 my bikes potential , I'll be a happy camper ! Glenn

Glenn Hey,Thanks for being the test pilot for us Glenn,when I get over the Idea that my originals just need to be rebuilt one more time then I'll give Works a call!
July 24, 201214 yr Hey,Thanks for being the test pilot for us Glenn,when I get over the Idea that my originals just need to be rebuilt one more time then I'll give Works a call! Didn't you really mean "crash test dummy " ??? Glenn

July 26, 201214 yr I was quoted $509.00 for the Steel Gasser Series. Not sure what the Alloy ones go for. http://www.worksperformance.com/ mailto:sales@worksperformance.com
July 26, 201214 yr I'd have to dig up the invoice , but just over 500.00 + shipping . But well worth it ...
