long-travel front end opinions

[lilmxe#43]

So, im buying my yfz450 and need some opinions, its eith Walsh or lonestar a-arms. And either TCS or elka shocks. the walsh a-arms are $1100. Elka shocks are $1350. The package i was offered was TCS long travel shocks with lonestar a-arms and rebuilt back shock for $2000 even. Any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks

walsh makes great a-arms but the lonestar dc-4 set up is awsome on the yfz450. i would defiantly go with it. i have tcs shocks and love them and many will agree.

Id go with a DC4/TCS front end on a yfz. Or MC/PEP is a smooth set up also. If you go with a DC4 set up with TCS shocks, I would go with triple rates instead of quad rates. Springs wont push out, and the drop out spring is still useful.

Well i went with the walsh and TCS. If the tcs dont perform to my liking then i prolly sell em and get elka's. Just low on funds right now cuz of all the stuff im buying, ill post pics asap.

Personally I would go Laeger Pro Trax and PEP, or Walsh and PEP, but with what you have listed I would go walsh and elka....
