ok, well most all of my parts that i got for my build i got from my friend.

Some parts im looking at now from him are a durablue axle for $125, or a lonestar for $150 both with sprocket hub only.

Rear elka shock for $200...he weighs like 200lbs...im at 140 with a +.5 swinger

Not really sure, i was kinda expecting them to be a little lower, i mean im sure i could get the durablue to $100 and possibly $175 on the elka.

What do you think, no idea what these go for?

what condition are they in? if you can find a rear elka for 175 buy all you can get. i cant find a used one for under 4 or 5 hundred. The axle, a new one is gonna be about 3-4 hundred. shock new is aobut 7-8 hundred. i would get them, seems like a good deal to me.

All in good condition, they all only ever saw a track. Never taken in the woods EVER. So they are not scratched...knicked etc etc. All perfectly straight.

The elka, i didnt know elka made the piggyback shock that looks exactly like the OEM shock. I asked him and its not rebuilt by elka...its a real elka shock.

pretty sure elka does not make a rear shock that looks like OEM, he's probably confused :confused: probably has the elka dual rate spring/revalve conversion. If it was an elka shock you would definately be able to tell the difference

Thats what i thought. It looks exactly like a OEM shock. It has a elka spring on it though, so it was probably just rebuilt by them.
