Who on the east coast can revalve my Elka rear for an extended swingarm? I usually go through the Quadshop, but I can't ever get a hold of Jeff anymore and I don't have the time to ship to Precision and get it back for a race. I just got my swingarm and need a pretty quick turnaround time. Who around the Ky area or east coast does a good job with shocks?

How soon are you needing it done?

Well I know I'm being the picky one here Dusty, but at the very latest probably this time next week. I would like one day to adjust everything in with my new swingarm to load up on Thursday night and head to the races Friday.

BTW if you can squeeze it in, I am willing to pay the extra shipping to get it there within my constraints.

I believe this is doable, What I need to know is what it is set up for now and what you are wanting it set up now.. I know you changed swingarm but I need the rest of your info weight and riding style and tire sizes ect.. You are in KY it shows 2 day freight to here so you should be able to send it regular ground but we might have to send it faster on return freight..

Hey Dusty I'm back now. Nick is correct, I just want to adjust for the extended swingarm. Getting it out today might be pushing it, but I'm going to try. I'm going to go ahead and take it off now and get it in a box.

couple of more questions
this is for a 450r correct
is the rear shock an elite and is this the old 450r linkage or new 2 piece?
