Has anyone tried using aftermarket(read good) shocks on only the front of a V-Force? The front shocks are not very good, the back seems to work a little better. I was thinking of the Elka's without the res. (upgradeable) then getting the back when possible. Don't know how triple rate shocks in front would work with stock rear. Brand/spring rate not set in stone..

 

zacly what I did ... triple elkas on front (no rezzies) ... wonderful change in ride ....

 

Thanks--now I have no excuse! -- Which ones , Elka site shows 3 different types

 

Not sure what to tell you about which ones ... The guy I bought them from collected all the info ( my weight, type of riding, etc .... ) ordered the shock units for me.

 

You guys with elkas or other good shocks on the front, did it help the harsh steering? I know it is softer, but do you still need or want a steering stabilizer. I know mine is choppy (side to side) when one tire hits a rock. You have to hold on!

 

Where did you get them? Online?

The triple shocks have a really soft spring at the top ... zero load kinda thing ... a remarkable change in the harshness of the ride and steering. I don't have any intention to add a stabilizer for the type of trail riding that I do.

 

Mine does not have the shocks or steering stabilizer..But I rode a V with elkas and a denton staibilzer and all I can say is its Amazing...

 

What would be a good price for the elka triple rates front only for the V? My budget keeps getting smaller and smaller since i bought my car lol
