The shocks they give you here retail at $750, the one alba gives you retails for $450 since they are without rezzies. After reading some reviews about full flights i am going to save my pennies and go with quicksand A-arms($550) and those piggyback elkas($750), comes out to $1300, well worth the couple hundred extra!! You dont want to skimp out on something as important as the front suspension, mine is well overdue for the upgrade! Quote
peterlocal22 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 Ive heard nothing but good from quicksand a arms, but your from nj right. you might want an a arm with ball joints instead of heims because of the trails in nj. there mostly dirt right? I think theres a thread on heims vs. ball joint a arms, you should do a search and check it out. alot of good info. Quote

2003LimitedBanshee Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 Also another thread running right now, not too happy about the quality of Full Flight etc. etc. I'd be willing to bet that you might be able to work something with Alba on the Elkas. I would like to see about the Duners, and thought I would call them to see if I could upgrade to the Duners at an additional price. Worth a shot??? Quote
westexgt Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 What have you heard about fullflights? I am also considering buying some of these arms, but not many reviews that I have found. Kevin Quote
2003LimitedBanshee Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 There's another thread right around here towards the top. It sounds like they have been sold under many names in the past, and have had very mixed reviews. Some say absolute crap, others say not so bad. I was thinking about these also, but I'm thinking I'll take my chances trying to swing a deal with Alba on their +2,+1 combo and some Dunes Editions Quote
peterlocal22 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 let me know how the alba deal turns out. i was thinking of trying to swing a deal with them too. Quote
sanddragon2004 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 we have an a arm shock, and brake line combo that runs just under 900 for elkas, +2 arms, and brake lines. 5 year warranty with tie rods, new urethane bushings and powder coat. Quote
2003LimitedBanshee Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 Any chances that a kit could be put together with a set of duners from Elka? In all fairness it will be later this spring or early summer (after I finish my car) before I'll be dropping bigger money on my bike, but if it is a possibility I will definitely keep you guys in mind. Thanks! Quote
