BansheeHQ should have a new suspension sponsor within the next couple weeks. I bought the Stage 5 Elkas for my new bike from these guys.

 

BVC Racing

 

Call and talk to Bill and let him know you got the info from me. He was considerably cheaper on the Stage 5 than going direct through Elka. BVC carries a lot of different shocks also.

You might check with Bay city Yamaha in Coos Bay / North Bend Oregon. The last time I was there they had 2 refirbushed sets for sale. I dont remember the price but I do remeber they were cheap for all 3 shocks. If I remember right 1 set was set for a 180 lbs rider and the other was for a 250 lbs rider. If you are wondering about the quality of bay city Yamaha , They are a first class outfit. They are located a stones throw away from the Oregon dunes and move ALOT of product. They were selling performance banshee parts when j arms were the cool thing to have.

But they are refirbushed and not new.

Hey Guy's,

 

I bought a set of Elka stage 2 piggybacks with compression for the fronts and a stage 3 piggyback with compression for the rear for my Banshee a couple of day's ago from this guy. He discounted the 3 shocks $185.00 below retail and through in a T-Shirt. I was turned onto him from another Banshee owner that I know that lives local to me. The guy used to run a Yamaha Dealership. The guy knows everything about Banshees, he's also a Flexx Handlebar sales rep.

 

So If you all are still interested in Elka shocks tell him Paul from Virginia recommended him and that you desire a decent discount to boot. Elka's got a 3 week backlog right now and it's not even riding season so get your order in ASAP. Good Luck you all.
