She's getting spoiled possibly one last time..

In for sale ad.

My current shock will be up for grabs if anyone wants it.

With a grinder.

Dude said i got stage 5's Elkas because anything less is for peasants.

I like the linkage from Elka but its too wide to fit in PRM's skidplate, I even asked them to make one 1/4 of an inch deeper. no dice. it literally needs less than a 1/4 inch to fit. good product though.

I got my Ella linkage to fit into a prm skid plate. I think the collar on the spring was all the way up. ( shock was setup for a longer arm) but it's in there

I took a grinder to my skidplate to make it fit originally because of the -2 arm hitting the stock linkage. Don't be scared.

im not scared, but ive cracked the u channel off one, and im working on the second. the linkage scrapes somewhere in the travel, 2 groves were worn in the bottom of the channel. it like a paper thickness clerarance at rest. That's with the stainless plate removed too, and some smoothing of the edges of the anodized link

Slap a GoPro under there with a bicycle mount and see why it's acting up so you can rectify the issue.

Cool little comparison between the stock and Elka long travel link.

Claude, that would be a good next project for you. 

 

I also think a splash guard for anyone running pods would be another good product.

That's a great visual comparison

Yea I hadn't found a picture of the comparison. I thought all they had done was just made the bone longer ha. But they made more geometry changes than I had thought.
