i recomend you get the triple rate w/ rez, but the dual rate are awesome too. you can pay anywhere from 400-700
For a z250? That is the bike we're talking about. Wouldnt 1200 or more for triple rates w/ rez be a little over kill?
you know i have come to the conclusion that you are not the best reader on this sire, where do you get 1200, i have yet to see that number anywhere in my tread, hell even if you add $400 and $700 you dont get that number, so I guess you cant add either. $400 to $700

I get by ok, sire...

I didnt say you stated 1200, but thats about what a set of triple rates elites with rezzies would cost, and thats what you recomended. Regular elka triple rate zps shocks are advertised for 750 on ebay, so if thats what you were talking about then you are pretty close on your estimate.

SO... If you spend 750 on shocks, that's about 1/5 of the cost of the quad new. I'm just trying to let this guy know that while they are great shocks, it doesnt make sense to spend that much on a quad that doesnt have the proper sport quad front end geometry to really benefit from them. Assuming they even make those shocks for the z250 anyway.


I made a mistake on the axle, and my experience had shown me something that was not supported by the website. I'll eat my words on that one, I have no backup for it. But a couple mistakes out of the other four thousand plus posts I have made isnt a bad record.

Works AT Steeler double rates - 359 w/ rez - 539 compression adjustable w/ rez - 719

Havent found any other companies that make z250 suspension. Elka, custom axis, and pep all came up negative.

Why work on a Z250? why not invest in a machine worthy of an elka suspension?

hey man no hard feelings, i guess i just miss read your tread, it just sounded that way to me as previously stated, but it is cool man there is no reason for us to go at it we both have our knowledge, so we should give our opinions and leave it to that instead f trying to prove each other wrong
