damn that front end squats pretty low...did u get those right from Houser? and if u dont mind me asking, how much did the whole front end cost u?(not including the shocks) arms, tie rods etc.

and it was 750$ for the arms

and maybe 1000$ for the front elka elites...not sure though thats with rider support i think..

the front end i got from GWC(golden west cycle)

and i went with piggybacks cause u ahve to mount the rear reservoir in the front also, plus its easier..dont ahve to worry about 3 reservoirs to mount..

I just want to say that those bikes look freakin' awsome. It will be HOUSER all the way.

[blasterkid]

i dont know if its me but on my houser ltz it seams like it bottoms a lot esier then my jrd r

[FatBoy Racing]

I'm running stock tires and have not touched the shock settings from the box. I've run houser/elka on this one and my 400ex. I'm very happy with both. No complaints in either case. They definately ride much better than I'm capable of - and I beat them up pretty good. Mostly desert and rocky terrain where I ride, some dunes. Cost to me for the front end was about 2200 shocks, arms and brake lines.

Waiting on houser to finish their rear end setup so I can get that out of the way too.

has anyone noticed how alot of pros on yfzs are runnin a gibson/axis front end???

[WhiteBros400ex]

I really like the hosuer elka front ends,im thinkg of either doing a gibson Lt front end with axis shocks of i might get house and elka or house and axis.But either way im def getting Lt and moire then likly +3 or possibly +2 but im going mroe toward +3.
