Dude,

Come on man you saw mine. Go with the Denton Steering Stabilizer. If you forget what it looks like on the quad stop up and see mine. As for the shocks I have a set of Elka's on order that should be here either this week or next.

No disrespect. Just suffer from short term memory loss. Denton is fine. where did you get it? Moto-man? Also, how much for the Elka's? These shocks might be the purchase that cost me my marriage. How's the ride?

I think Denton has a new rebuildable one out now. I have a non rebuildable one but it seems like alot of people say they wear out after a year or so, I would buy a rebuildable one if I were doing it again. I thinkyou can go to Denton Racing -com for some info or Magic racing -com sells a Muscle stabilizer that looks pretty well made. My buddy has one on his EX and it is nice.

The Denton is the one I'm going to get. As far as shocks my bud put TCS shocks on his(w/ revalve rear)and they are great. The difference is amazing. Light shining down from heaven kinda stuff.

Denton it is. As far as shocks go i'm leaning more towards the Elka triple rates. Elka's move from Snowcross to Quads concerns me. (I feel vunerable enough being Yamaha's ginny pig.)However the design seems sound and durable. Plus there shocks traditionaly perform in freezing conditions and should perform well for me during the harsh N.E winter.

The light must be shining down on me because I just got my Raptor back from being in the shop for 3 1/2 weeks for a tranny problem. All I know if it breaks again it will be fire and brimstone and great gnashing of teeth around here. I'm going to go ride wish me luck hehe
