"For this project we decided to use a sport ATV with probably the best factory suspension and handling available, the Kawasaki KFX 700. "
this was takin off the shock upgrade page on the atvconnection homepage. Just out of curiosity is this true? I just found the whole article interesting. any one who has elkas on there's compare and contrast...thanks

friesen

 

I find that statement kinda funny. It may have great shocks but the weight of the beast seems to make them not so great. I imagine if the shocks were used on a lighter quad then it would be awesome. Don't get me wrong, I believe the shocks are doing a good job for me. Once I have this beast paid off I might get some new shocks.

 

as far as being worth it I think that they would be becse they are completly rebuildable. So they should last alot longer then the stock

 

I also think the V-Force is the best handling quad I've ever had(Scrambler 400 4x4, Honda 250EX, Sportsman 400 4x4, and last but not least LT250R quadracer)

I love the way it sits, corners, slides, everything but landings. It jumps fine if you land perfect but if you nose it, you feel it big time. Same for landing on the back hard (usually when I'm jumping downhill, like off a 5 or 6 foot lip on a trail), the stock suspension just isn't cutting it for me.

I rode a buddies Banshee that had gas fronts and I couldn't believe what a difference they make, especially in sharp faced moguls that are found on high speed trails like the TransCanada Pipeline.

I read somewhere that Elka worked with TeamGreen to develop that set-up so I imagine it's pretty dialed in.

 

just woundering if putt is out there...I know instaled some on his and I was woundering what your thoughts are on them??
