what shocks to go with?

[Ryda85]

so its time to order some suspension. i have norrowed it down to these 3 shocks since i want to be under 500....i am not a pro racer, i dont really hit up the track...im a rec rider that wants some better suspension...i like bang for the buck.

 

Elka Rec shocks....dual rate no rez....seen them for 450 shipped on ebay

 

works dual rates.....no rez ...on ebay for 400 shipped

 

or works g series....dual rate no rez on ebay for 480 shipped.

 

 

i never tested any of these in real life. i am ordering based on the forum members experiences.

 

as far as a arms, i am going with a +2+1 setup from wicked. I was going to do an ASR setuponly bc they have a lifetime warrenty no matter what but ive seen too many stories about how they dont line up or the customer service blows....i guess ill take my chances on wickeds arms.

 

so what do you guys think?

elka's :cool:

[Washburn]

Elkas and believe me Ive tested both on many bikes and Elka wins for so many reasons.

[Ryda85]

yea i think im set on the rec elkas....just boust a set of +2+1 janssens.....ugh im so broke after this...pay rent or buy shocks lol

[Washburn]

Pffffffffft rent can wait, stick it up your landlords ass and start saying couchie chuchie, Get them Elkas son.

[Ryda85]

ok forget the rent,,,,time to buy shocks.....what do you guys think of a used set of axis shocks with rezzies for 300 then rebuild them?

[KaosBanshee44]

this shouldn't even be a question as to what shock to get if elka is in the picture

[jamebo]

I also think you should go with the Elka's. They are known for being well made, high quality shocks.

work vs. elkas.. Definitely elka.. Elka recs vs AXIS with rezzies is a bit tougher choice... I'd have to say it would depend on the condition of the AXIS shocks and if the shock was adjustable or not.
