I have the Houser/Elka +2 LT and i really like it. But I have never ridden a roll so i dont know how it compares. Also everyone is going to have their own opinion on what is the best

i think if i were going to b uy a front end it would be walsh or roll lobo , ive always wanted roll and there craftsman ship is almost factory , but walsh stuff seems to be booming right now, honestly i think you couldnt go wrong with either

get jrd and pep i have ridden all three top shocks pep axis and elka and all three are awesome i had all three valved for me on my bikes and i think that the axis are better built then the pep but the peps just have a edge over the valving but any will work when the valving is right and for a arms i think the jrd are great no problems but try what u can afford there all good

another vote for jrd arms. ive seen a bunch of jrd arms at etown and they are top notch. from what i hear, customer service is bar none as well. for the price, you cant go wrong. couple hundred cheaper than roll and walsh is a plus in my book. hell, if donnie lysinger runs them, theyll be fine for we mere mortals :D

Best setup i've ran so far and am running right now is JB/Elka. Any combo will work amazing.

Gibson/Axis.

Call up David from ECA. The wait time is 2 weeks for the shocks. Axis doesnt have such a long turn around time like PEP, but it is the same performance.

the new Vipers look badass, but walsh and laeger will always be my 2 favs

It seems like the high end stuff Roll/Walsh/Holz all works good and the high end shocks all work good too Elka/Axis/PEP I dont think you can go wrong if you set up your front end how you like it.
