amen to that brotha!

[JRP]

thanks everyone for the pics. I think ima go with the chrome uppers and red lowers... If anyone has pics of those on a red 450r, it would be very much appreciated. I will be ordering these tomrrow. Thanks

[JRP]

well i jus found out that you have to pay 100 bucks for the chrome and im outta money, lol. So does anyone have a pics of aluminum uppers and red lowers? Thanks

[slosh13]

slosh13's ride height is just fine. I was showing how much the shocks fully extend in that picture.

[JRP]

oh and also, it says that these aarms use a 20.5in schock, does the evols come in 20.5in? I would think they do, but not 10000% sure, lol, can anyone fill me in? Thanks

[slosh13]

;)

[JRP]

well i jus got off the phone with cernics racing, i got em finally. I just stuck with the reg gray kind, maybe ill sandblast em and get em PCed down the road. Ahh cant wait!:devil:

[Mean250r]

20.5 shock for walsh?! I think that lenth it for gibson

my walsh uses 18.5 :huh

[slosh13]

Compliments of Walsh Racecraft:




Made from 100% 4130 chromoly and designed for the highest amount of ground clearance possible and the best overall performance.

+2.5" wider over stock a-arms

Uses a 20.5" long shock

Fully adjustable castor and camber

All ball joints and hiem joints are teflon lined


The lower a-arm/frame pivot hardware is not included, you will use the same hardware as stock TRX450.

[Mean250r]

for ther yfz its 18.5

i have is set up on my bike, can wait to instal the pep, the elka a such a bad choice

Its not so much that the Elka's are such a bad choice, it is like that PEP's and Axis are a lot closer outta the box than the Elkas. Elka's have top notch materials it is just there shocks are built so quickly, they are not setup for the person as well as they can be. Going through someone who services Elkas will fine tune them properly for you. This should be done the first time, but when you have everyone and their brother buying elkas b/c the turnaround time is 4-5 days, some important things can get overlooked. JMO.

You are right but I think this apply more on front shocks , Elka can build good front shocks , good rear shocks too but only for their linkage. I tried 5 different rear shock setups on my savior linkage and its not even close to what it should be. my friends dual elka links are working way better tho.

[slosh13]

I agree with you on this as well. I have found a lot of Walsh Saviors seem to work the best with either a PEP or Axis rear shock. I know on my bike the PEP/Savior was a really good setup. Speakin of bikes, yours looks good and boy those a-arms look familiar:D Heres a couple pics of some Walsh a-arm examples and a couple of pics of my practice and race bikes from this year.
