Should I do the camber mod to my stock 88' Lt250R? It has stock a arms. I just bought this quad and it came with an extra set of front shocks made by WORKS, however they need to be rebuilt. As do my stock shocks on both my LT 250r's. Would anybody know what these 2 works shocks are worth?

Should you do the camber mod? Yes, it will improve the feel of your bike.

have the works shocks rebuilt, they are much better than stock.

To give you an idea my local suspension guy charges $125 for a re-valve which includes a basic rebuild. You can go on Race Techs website or PEP to get other prices. I just purchased a set of YFZ450 shocks for $220

Are the stock shocks that are on it in good shape?If they are you could probally run them and spend the money on other stuff to start.Also depends what kind of riding you do.If the ones on it are toast might as well rebuild and put the works ones on.
Can,t fix stupid.:)

I did install the 450 shocks. They ride like clouds compared to the stock pogos.

Was it a lot of work to get those shocks to work on it?

Not at all. Just some grinding on the upper eye. I have some pics in the 250 thread under my first engine build. I even just had my rear shock updated with new valving and a fat boy spring in order to keep up with the fronts.
