sweet...what motor work are you doing? a-arms and whatelse?

heres one thing that your gonna regret. that you didnt spend the time to wash the quad off before tear down. i havent washed it off all to many times and it can really make reassembly a chore because everything has a nice dirt coating on it :(

The elkas that you see on there are brand new. They are for the +3 a-arms that are on there way. I put them on there with my stock a-arms and dear god:eek2: I think I am going to get my rear one re-valved this winter, if not just but a new Elka with the link:p

Why not just spend the extra coin now and get the frame pced while you got it tore down that far. It will save a lot of assembly and dissasembly later.

with the elka rear shock can't you just get the new shock linkage and install it? in other words, you don't need any modifications to the shock do you?

new rear ones. The front ones that are on there right now are just my street tires. I have razrs on ITP rims for the track. The holeshots are shot that are on there. Razr rears will be my choice!!

i believe you need to replace one of the springs for it to work correctly unless you order the setup together

One other thing,While you have the top end off get some wheel cleaner or something and clean you engine off really good!
