yeah i made a thread on 450r headquaters forum to see if i could get anymore opinions.....but yeah.....i emailed kenneth at kbmotorsports and he said it would be about $1800 for SMC lt +2 or +3 and motowoz shocks, brake lines and clamps, and tierods....does tht sound like a good deal.....

I'm a huge fan of Houser, and have no experience with SMC, but based solely on shock choice its gotta be the SMC motowoz setup. I haven't rode on motowoz though, but elkas I have ridden on and I know I dont want those.

If money is no object, I would go Laeger's with the Motowoz!

I have had laeger's before, but never Motowoz!

I've ridden stock rebuild revalves (from 2 different builders), Axis (ST & LT), Elka (ST & LT), PEPs.

So far my PEPs are working out good for me, no complaints!

I am working on another deal currently and may be the 1st in North America to try this product! :devil:

Dude, your avatar is like a posterboard for Elka...


Also, I would steer way clear of Elka. Personally I would go with a Laeger/Axis or Pep set-up... But I'm oldschool
