Thanks I will probably just wait for some works shocks to come around.  I am 6 foot 3 and I weigh right now a little over 230 and my guess is by the time I go riding I will be down to 210-215 so the right shocks are probably a necessity.  If I had the wrong shocks and my weight had them not riding right it might make for a rough ride.  I think with how short the 250 is my weight is probably more of a factor then the 500 to where I would be sitting back further from the shocks.  Thanks for the honesty and I am sure you wont have any problem selling the shocks $150 is a good deal, If anyone has had there suspension re-valved they know how much it costs.
