RagunCajun Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Posted November 5, 2014 Ok then. Who here has had the rear shock reworked and also has tried out an aftermarket rear shock. If I'm better off with an elka or Fox rear, let me know. Personal experience only. Quote
rjdgriff Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 I have rode re worked rear and elka, the elka seems like it absorbs a lot better. The stock felt like it was "kicking up" on me and bouncing off the ground. Never rode on a fox Quote
muggzy Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 Seems like they don't like to rebuild shocks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's a UK company of the same name and the reason I included the address. Sent from my KFOT using Tapatalk 1 Quote
rjdgriff Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 add all that junk^ only ditch the metal case saver and get a CottonBranch case saver 1 Quote
trickedcarbine Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 Remember to clearance the cotton branch case saver for the Billit bowls you should be running. 1 Quote
RagunCajun Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) I why do I need a metal stator cover, case saver and that particular brand which you filled to mention. It also looks to have a different chain guide. Maybe a foot peg too unless it's just a stock one polished. The suppose thing for the front sprocket shaft is on my list of things to get. However i lost the bookmark on where to buy it and why. I believe it's recommend for 10mil and up. Edited November 6, 2014 by RagunCajun Quote
rjdgriff Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 The stator cover is the chariot barring support Quote
RagunCajun Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Posted November 7, 2014 ordered some fireball racing long travel a-arms. I'm reading through the chariot bearing support thread. So much drama... Quote
rjdgriff Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 Yeah, I would post a wanted add and get a used one right now lol. There is no debate on quality, but idk if they have the nuts yet Quote
RagunCajun Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Posted November 8, 2014 Looks like i will be going with stage 3 elkas instead. Cheaper and it wont be over kill for what i do. flat cane field roads etc is mostly what i do. Looks like they are about 1500. That's nearly 900-$1000 savings over the fox shocks i want. I can use that else where easily. Quote

RagunCajun Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Posted November 8, 2014 Why call Dennis at Packard? Quote
trickedcarbine Posted November 8, 2014 Report Posted November 8, 2014 Why call Dennis at Packard?Because he is the original production bearing support. By golly, probably has the parts to. Quote
