1badshee350racer Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 i just ordered my first set of aftermarket shocks for the banshee i blew up the stock rear and figured y not get the entire set the only problem was the price $2000 i ordered them from Elka. i'm running all stock a arms and rear swing arm i haven't even ridden a quad with aftermarket shocks before only read stories about Elkas and how they are the best. I got the sport/racing series with piggy back fronts, and remote rezie rear dual rate all the way around they are to be delivered by the 23rd. does anyone have any tips when i do the switch over ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollister_Hitman Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Did you have to give them your SSN? I was told you have to get them through customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawarriorman Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Did you have to give them your SSN? I was told you have to get them through customs. Uh, no. Banks, employers, and the IRS are the only people you should be giving your social security number to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badshee350racer Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 ya i did have to give them my SSN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollister_Hitman Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Yeah I had to also when I ordered them for my girlfriend. I just wanted to see what you would say. I also double checked it againt the U.S Customs website before I ordered. I know a lot of people are still going to say they wouldn't give out their SSN which I probaly wouldn't order from elka again just incase it leaked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1badshee350racer Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) I got them installed took about 5 mins, the hardest part was routing the SS remote rezzie line around the brake line. It sits so low now, I rode it in field today that has two ok jumps it was very nice I still have to mess around with the compression and rebound to get it set up correctly. Thus far i am very happy with them. Once I hit the trails and set them up i will be able to give a better review.
