Right now I'm running an Elka rear shock w/ an Elka linkage. I have it adjusted as soft as it will got. The seat mite drop 2" when I sit on it.

Got me a stock 400 shock that has been revalved & sprung by GT Thunder & GT linkage off ebay last night. Ive heard there linkage's are alot better. Im hoping the shock will be too. I no I will have the elka linkage for sale probably the end of this week or the first of next.

Im 100% sure I'm selling the linkage. The shock is debateable. It has the valving that it came w/ new. The spring is for 175-200 lbs. I think. I got it used/practically new from a buddy who got a 450r. He put the new spring on it other than that I dont think anything has been done to it

elka shocks are usually built for a specific rider and riding style

thanks again for buying my shock:D + gt thunder does wonders with the revalve and link :eek2:

just make sure to pit 2-3 washers on the exhaust to space it out or it WILL lay on the caliper!
