watkins Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Easter is gonna be my last trip for a few months so I was going to tear the bike down, ship the motor off to Passion to do a 12port stroker. While I have it somewhat apart I figured I may as well powder coat the frame and since im doing that may as well overhaul the suspension as well. Soo..... Ride the dunes and open desert (very seldom hit tight trails, but I do from time to time) Basically thinking of getting some Elka's with piggy backs on the front and just rebuild the rear shock. Any thoughts? Also want to go ahead and get some different a-arms and a new swinger. Thinking of Quicksand for both but I heard Sanddragon makes some great stuff as well. Any recommendations? I think +2 +1 Arms should work out nice with a +4 swinger (with the engine mods coming I think less would be suicide). Any input would be great. Not too concerned about the price, however I dont want to go too far overboard. So the less i spend the better. Thinking $2200 should do it. What you all think? The shee is gonna be a totally different machine next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txblueshee Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Sounds like you got the right idea.. I highly reccomend quicksand arms.. that sanddragon seems like a shady place... I like to run a remote rezzy in case I roll over and clip something... rather replace a 25$ hose than a 300$ shock... My QSM chrome arms with chrome uppers were 565$ to the door.... A rear rebuld is 450$ if your going this far.. why not just get a whole new unit? Especially since you said money isn't that big of and object... Are you dead set on elka?
