Where did you order your shocks from? what was the price of the fronts? thanks

I think you will be very happy with Elka. The set up on mine was right on. They set them up for my riding ability, weight and type of racing that I do. I may be wrong but I think thats were people run into problems when ordering custom shocks. They have them set up for a "Bill Balance" ability and not their own.
You could probably get a better price from a dealer rather than ordering direct from Elka. I would post a # but that would be an ad so e-mail me if you would like a phone #

Well,
I ordered my LSR axle, Elka front triple rates with SSD and rear with SSD shocks and went with front EZ fit wheel spacers for now....I need to stay married after all and A-arms can wait a bit.........JIM

Patrick,
I will post as soon as everything comes in. I know some people have had problems with Elka shocks, but when I had mine on the 400ex; they were spot on. Should be here in 3 weeks. I started a web page, has a few pics of me on my 400ex and one of my Speed, will be updating it soon as I get some free time. .......JIM start of web page

Alaska400ex Why don't you get offset wheels for the front. I have a set on 19" holeshots on offset wheels that makes it almost 46" wide. Thats thing sits low and wide and I haven't got my smaller rear tires yet. I'll have some pics on Monday. Check out my wheel/tire combo in my webshots sig...Copy and paste the link. They're my duning package.

What kind of things have you heard about the Elka's? I had considered getting a set the next time I buy shocks. I hadn't heard anything bad untill you guys said something.
