dunegrl Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 (edited) hey guys I am about to buy some a arms and shocks. Seems like im leaning towards the elka shocks and leager a arms. I only ride my banshee in the sand and LOVE to jump the crap out of it. But its so fn stiff and my back is always killing me after those loooonnngggg rides. anyways, this shit is expensive so before I go out and take the plunge I was wondering what other a arms and shocks anyone would recommend or their experience with these. I dont know if it matters but I only weigh 110 so I need something that will work for a light rider. thanks Edited September 8, 2006 by dunegrl Quote
ellison445 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 I have elkas all around ( front and rear) with laegers and it was te best investment I have ever made. I can hit woops that I would normally hit with stock shocks in second gear, I am hitting them now in the bottom of 4th.. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 they are by far the best suspension youll put on your bike... works are nice but id go with elka if you can afford it. Quote

joneser4u Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 When you get your new shocks and you miss that sore back,I got somthing you can ride a long time that will make your back sore again. Its a 04 with stock suspension! OR? Quote
chevy7398 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 if i only got to keep one mod on my bike and had to get ride of everything else my front end would stay, by far the best Quote
