Time Machine Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Alba +2+1 arms with Elka Legacy standard travel shocks. Still need to get the alignment squared away. Supposed to be sunny and 40 degrees on Monday. Maybe take it out to the sand for a test run in the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfaith08 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Don't neglect to set the sag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeMachining Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Nice! That will be a lot better than eom setup. I did go similar (Fox float + lsr) and liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Machine Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Don't neglect to set the sag. Thanks for the suggestion. Checked it last night it was just under 3 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that's what I'm hoping. Maybe get out some time this week and give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Machine Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Don't forget, yfz front brakes are a better upgrade, dollar for dollar. But really, looks great. Thanks. Dual Pistons sound good, I'll add it to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Machine Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Took it out for a test run yesterday afternoon. Big difference. Smoother, more stable, more responsive. Front settings felt good, rear needs a bit more preload. Sunshine, smooth sand, no wind, about 40 degrees. Perfect riding. My outfit was the only one in the parking lot at Egin Lakes. You guys are missing some great riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandSlingerOR Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I got a simular set up just long travel, your report makes me super excited to take mine out here soon. Got anymore pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Machine Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 My wife and I went for a ride over Labor Day weekend this year. She rode our Warrior. Her first time out to the dunes and first time on a manual shift quad. She did great. It was a busy weekend and the sand was pretty tracked up, but it was still a good ride. The Warrior suspension is pretty stiff. I've read that the Banshee shocks are a good upgrade for it, so that's where the shocks I just took off the Banshee are going. I had the rear rebuilt by a local rebuilder about a month before I ordered the Elka's. It would be great if I could put a set of Elka's on it, but that's not in the budget.

ltpyro Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Awesome!!! Planning on the same A-arm set up (+2+1), only difference is I'm planning on making my own and then upgrading the shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
