CraigP Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 I have Elka front shocks but they need to be rebuilt and are not comfortable at all. If i had yfz front shocks will thye bolt right onto my front a arms? I have heard there are different kinds of yfz shocks, which type of yfz shocks are the best for banshees. (If it helps, i weigh 130lbs) Quote
gotta_goatsfast Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 I STRONGLY suggest you hit up MattSCESC to have your Elkas rebuilt. IMO YFZ shocks on a banshee look to be more of a headache. Especially when you have some Elkas. Matt can rebuild them for your weight and your riding style. It'll be like riding a marshmellow. Quote
CraigP Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Posted January 29, 2011 What is the headache about yfz shocks? I think the problem is that i used to have a yamaha blaster with the elkas on it and once i got my banshee i switched the shocks over so im not sure if the shocks should be on the banshee Quote
MN SHEE Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 I have yfz shocks with yfz arms and wish i dident do it now. I will be getting a set of long travel arms soon to use the yfz shocks and save for some elkas Quote
gotta_goatsfast Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 What do the Elkas measure out from eye-to-eye? Quote
CraigP Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Posted January 29, 2011 What do the Elkas measure out from eye-to-eye? Im going to measure tomorrow because its 11:40p.m. where i live. What size are banshee shocks from eye to eye? Quote
CraigP Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Posted January 29, 2011 My PEPs are 14.75" I willl post the measurement tomorrow. The elkas just seem like they dont have any rebound (For example: if u jump on the front bumper, my banshee only goes down about 2-3 inches) Quote
gotta_goatsfast Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 You'll feel better once you talk to Matt! Quote

Jereme6655 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 ill give you $50-$75 for each elka..... haha....but okay in all serious-ness.....call or pm matt. He rebuilds our atv shocks on here and he's a pimp about it. From the sounds of it you will just need to have your shocks rebuilt/revalved for your specific riding and your weight. I bet after you get them back you'll be in love. Quote
CraigP Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Posted January 29, 2011 I sent Matt a message. The shocks are about 13.75" from eye to eye. Quote
