  1. This guy runs a gold chain, AND a gold grille.
  2. hahahaha yeah that was him!!! Awesome!!!
  3. I heard you need to use a hammer to get them to fit... PM ELKARACING_SHEE... he's an expert =)
  4. When I go to this site, this is what Firefox tells me... Just beware people...
  5. Payment sent on shocks. Thanks!
  6. PM sent on shocks... Just waiting for the paypal addy! =)
  7. Yeah, there sure are a lot of assholes here. I'm leaving and going to HCF, I hear everyone's nice over there! =)
  8. As the resident shock expert here... I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. Air shocks, while ugly, are the most versatile shock made. Just by the design, your spring rate is almost endless. If you are unaware, shocks are filled with nitrogen. Nitrogen does NOT react to temperature/elevation/humidity, which is why the majority of tire shops are starting to fill tires with nitrogen, not to mention nitrogen doesn't harbor moisture the way oxygenated "air" does. Having worked around shocks for the MANY years I have... here is my suggestion. If you only do one type of riding, ie trails, dunes, rock, whatever... get the Elka's and set them up for what you do. If you want to be able to adjust your shocks easily, and almost "on the fly", the floats are the way to go. Typical coilovers WILL give you a better all around ride, but unless you are competing, I doubt you will notice. Air shocks are AWESOME products when used correctly in the right application. There are very few scenarios that an air shock, such as the Floats, WOULDN'T work well. If I were in the market for shocks, I would get the floats just for the adjustability factor. I think I'd like the options of HAVING so many options (if that makes sense). Parts are readily available, and cheap. In conclusion, as far as spring rates go, the air shock is BY FAR the most versatile option. You change your spring rate by the nitrogen pressure. Most Fox's (not sure about the Floats), can be pressurized up to 800psi in case you're a fatty and need a 550lb spring rate. =)
  9. Used Arctic Cat snow-go shocks FTW!!
  10. I was just thinking. These probably wouldn't work out for our "big boned" friends. I'm about 180lbs, but still have more adjustment on the preload. The guy that sold me mine, has two more up on eBay right now. He said he would combine shipping for me, but you'd have to ask. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1997-ARCTIC-CAT-ZL-ZR-440-SNOWMOBILE-FRONT-SHOCK-RYDEFX-/380219743939?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Snowmobile_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5886dcdec3 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1997-ARCTIC-CAT-ZL-ZR-440-SNOWMOBILE-FRONT-SHOCK-RYDEFX-/380219743958?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Snowmobile_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5886dcded6
  11. Hey Alf, can you post a think to one of their eBay listings? so we know who they are?
  12. ...And it says Oregon in his info to the left...
  13. Okay, so I finally got to test out these shocks. In some pretty shitty terrain, too. (Ask Jason, or Jay). I don't know how to put this... I FUCKING LOVE THEM. 100x better than stock.... during HARD riding, I never bottomed out got VERY close, but never hit; and I mean hard... 5th gear whoops... on accident. when I jumped, I hit bottom twice, out of 25-30 jumps. I have the preload set about 1/3 of the way down. I could go a little firmer so I won't bottom out on jumps, but it's the perfect amount of softness. Simply put... the best $77 bucks I've ever spent.
  14. Hah, bro... cut your losses and leave. You joined this site less than a week ago, and you're on here starting shit. I wonder if this is the guy that was selling the $25 walmart lights for 45 bucks on ebay?
  15. Hey fuckhead... That was in like... February or some shit... gimme a break old man!
  16. K, I got em installed. Saturday will be test day. I'll keep ya updated! Don't mind all the rags on the ground... I had a little coolant mishap when installing my Vapor.
  17. I already bought the vapor. Yes it did come with everything for the installation =)
  18. In my opinion an adjustable timing plate is one of the best bang for your buck mods you can do, and will increase your low-mid range power. I wouldn't go any more than +4 on an otherwise stock-ish motor. As far as reliability goes, maybe one of the motor builders can chime in here, or someone who's had theirs at +4 longer than me. Just make sure you use the right tool to pull off the flywheel. No 3-jaw pullers... no other creative way. Buy the flywheel puller from FAST and do it right. Other than that it's pretty straightforward. Just make sure you set your pickup gap when you're all done. Should be the thickness of a 16pt business card. Good luck!
  19. SOME of you get it for free. Some of us chose to pay for it, so it's free for you!
  20. Throw up a pic or two of them. I run the OLD style FMF gold sig series. I love them. These are mine: They replaced my Paul Turner hi-rev's. I'd never go back to PT's.
  21. Alright guys, so far we have 4 committed FOR SURE's going leaving from the San Diego/Temecula area. I'm taking my Suburban and have room for probably 2 or 3 more people. I've got a 22ft Flatbed trailer, that we could get 6-8 bikes on. Or if you want to drive yourself we could caravan up there. We will be leaving EARLY Friday morning, and I think half the group is going to tent it. Myself, and a friend of mine are getting hotel rooms. I've found some for as little as 89 a night. If anyone's interested in going, post in this thread, or you can PM me for more details. Let's make this a big ass trip, it'll be a lot of fun! List of who's going: MattSCESC Jasons Jayzx750 My friend... Freddy? You in?
  22. Screw Glamis... It's titties and beer season at Mission Bay! =)
  23. What are you looking to get for the chain and sliders? Post pics. =)
  24. Free bump! I have two of these exact Enerco heaters in my garage, they work AWESOME. Mine are hung directly from the ceiling rather than using their mount. If you have a finished garage (ie no rafters, drywalled) like I do, ONE of these will heat up a 3 car garage seriously in like 10-15 minutes. Two of them were overkill for my garage one's never been used. Good luck!
  25. Regardless of dyno numbers... that thing looks retarded...
