I was wondering if the Elkas are worth the Money. I'm going to buy some in the next couple of days. Elkas are my only choice, soooooo if someones got 'em give me some feedback.

Thanks.

Yes they are worth every dime...i have the triple rates with piggybacks ressies and self sagging in the front and dual rate in the rear. they are worth the money for the workmanship/product alone. the customer service is the best i've experienced in this industry to date. that is hard to put a price on. they adjust easily.

FYI: TCS buys their parts from elka...elka makes suspension for sleds as well...check out snow-cross and see the punishment those sleds go through.

My Elkas have saved me on some bad landings (along with my Lstar +3 A-arms)...hope i answered your question

Ive got the same shocks as raptor660rnh and I too admit if I didnt have the elkas and the a-arms(+2) I would have busted my A$$ several times. They turn the "ol $hit" into "oh yeah!"

Two words.... Hell YES! I have the elka quadrate with ssd along with houser long travel a arms. I previously had tripple rates with lonestar +2's which I thought were amazing until I went with the long travel set up. I cannot stress enough how much better you will love your bike with a aftermarket suspension. If you can afford long travel that is the hot ticket but you will be more than happy with elka suspension on the stock a arms... it is a night to day difference.
