I just got my Elka Elites front and back, they look sick I'm going to put them on tonight but I don't think I will ride with the rain but I will give you guys a full report after I ride and tune them in.

Cool, let us know how they work out. I noticed the stock rears are a little bouncy! Where is Pleasantville?

I put on my elkas last night and went for a ride to tune them in the rear is great very smooth over ruff terrain and soaks up landings very well, as for the fronts I will be sending them back to Elka to be redone they are to soft this is probably due to the fact that I am 51" wide and not 47" like stock but I did tell them that when I ordered them. riding straight was like riding on a cloud but in had corners it would lean to much and bring the outside wheel off of the ground this never happens with the stock shocks those I have set on there stiffest setting I weigh 180 lbs so you can see the width makes a big difference. Two things I did notice about the shock they lower the ride height alot and makes the V-Force look great the other thing with the new rear shock in the rear end is much more tossable you can turn with the throttle alot easier I could'nt believe it at first I actually spun the quad once till I got used to it. Landing 5' jumps the fronts bottom out but the rears are great hopefully I will get the fronts back soon so I'll keep my fingers crossed and I'll let you guys know what Elka says this morning. Thanx

NYVForce.....

I am interested in the shocks... tell me .... does lowering the quad reduce its tendency to Wheelie ???

I think you are telling us that it is easier to power slide though corners now ?? How much does it
lower the quad in inches ??

Thanks
