Banshee33 Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hey Guys I got a quote on Elka shocks for my 04 Banshee and they said 865.00 front (Pair) 820.00 Rear . I say holy Sh--. The question I have is it really nessary to do the rear? How many of you use them and if you do are they alot better then stock? I'm only 160lbs, But would like better landings on high Jumps. Maybe just do Fronts? What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97blkbanshee Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I think elka will set up your stock shock.My brother has a 250r with elka fronts and they set up his rear shock . he is happy with it .I think it ran him about half the price of the elka. give them a call. the stock shock can be rebuilt.

Blue Duece Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 but you cant get the ride height from the stocker rebuilt........the rear elkas is a peach well worth the cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97blkbanshee Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 there are elka front and rear shocks listed on ebay . they are new and you can have them set up to your riding style and weight . they are being sold buy a guy going by the name Motomahimahi. He has them listed as buy it now for $709.88 W/ free shipping. I have bought parts from him in the past and he is an honest ebayer. Go on ebay and type in elka and they should come up.

Fox73-Zz Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 but you cant get the ride height from the stocker rebuilt........the rear elkas is a peach well worth the cash Would having TCS convert it to a SCS not make it ride height adjustable? I know that it is not Elka, but if TCS could do it, I don't see why Elka couldn't... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
