jon v8 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) 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, 2012 by jon v8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fracy Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 What are the new rear shocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordo Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'd have to dig up the invoice , but just over 500.00 + shipping . But well worth it ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
