txblueshee Posted May 13, 2006 Report Posted May 13, 2006 Oh it will WORK... Its one of the options you have... I can't afford A-Arms right now. One step at a time 515205[/snapback] You could've saved yourself some serious coin by getting them setup for +2 arms.. they'd be a little stiff but you could take most that out with the clickers.... Getting the shocks rebuilt isn't excactly cheap... Mike Quote
broke Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 I agree. I would just have them built for the +2 arms from the start. The ride will be a little stiffer, but after the stockers it will still feel like riding on a cloud. You will save some money and time. Usually sending shocks in is not a quick ordeal. PEP took close to 2 months to get mine back to me and from what I hear Elka is slipping too. Quote
polaris336 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 well i dunno bought that last comment, i ordered some tripple rate non rezzies from a guy on ebay. and i got those in 2 weeks, i was getting pissed waiting and called the guy and he said elka was behind about a week. and the next day i got the shocks. they were built on the 9th and i got em the 12th. put em on but i cant ride em yet,THEY LOOK SWEET!! cuz my shee is under construction and wont have my pipes till wednesday. i also agree you shoulda got the shocks for +2 a-arms, no sence dumping more money into the shocks when you buy the new arm's Quote
broke Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 I don't know if you were referring to my comment or not, but sending shocks in to get serviced/revalved/resprung usually takes much longer than you plan on. PEP is a very small company, so they don't have the turn around time of the bigger places. Elka is a good shock, but the company has had some teething problems. I have both on my quads. PEP Limited Mass Triples Elka quad rates Quote

PEP Limited Mass Triples Elka quad rates 515905[/snapback] That's why you have places like balwdin motorsports, ecatv, and jh-racing.... Even at that i've never seen somebody get there shocks done in less than 3 days unless you take them to the shop... shipping is the main killer... Polaris 336, I'd almost put money on the fact that those shocks weren't built in 2 days... regardless of were your at shipping takes at least a day.... If your anymore than 3 states away from the guy you bought them from those shocks would've had to been built and shipped within a matter of hours after the auction.... johnny can't even do his own shocks that fast...

polaris336 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 (edited) sorry txblueshee. what i meant was that was the day the invoice was billed, there were shipped from elka on the 9th, i got em on the 12th i had ordered em 2 weeks before then. Edited May 15, 2006 by polaris336 Quote
Slayer1018 Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Posted May 15, 2006 I'll give a call tommorrow and have them set for +2 up1.. Thanks for the input Quote
Justintoxicated Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 You have Elka Quad Rates on the Banshee? WTF is the point? Even with that long travel setup is quad rate really necessary? BTW which shocks do you like better? (Not exactly fair comparison) but still. Do you think having PEP revalve the Elkas would be an ultimate shock? Quote
Slayer1018 Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Posted May 15, 2006 I just spoke to someone from ELKA and they said having the shocks set up for stock a-arms and changing the a-arms (+2 UP 1) next year, is no big deal. All that needs to be changed is one spring, which is something they said I could easily do myself. So there you go... ACCURATE INFORMATION Quote
txblueshee Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 ......or you just got sold. 516321[/snapback] ...... and you wonder why nobody runs elka anymore ... The pros get the special treatment and thousands of dollars of r&d work just to promote their(elka's) name... the guy building your shocks is eating a ham sandwich and watching price is right episodes...
