It takes that long b/c he is THAT backed up... I don't know if the wait it quite 6 months anymore... I know somebody that got them in a hair under 3 months this summer... Everybody is jumping ship to ohlins and elka... Your right about them sponsoring anybody and elkas can't be beat when they are valved right... If you think your getting doug gust shocks from elka your fuckin looney though... The next set of shocks I order will some from precision concepts or baldwin racing... The problem about getting a set of shocks that aren't "spot on" is that it cost almost as much as a new set of shocks to get them rebuilt...
