I've got a set of old White Power piggy back single rated shocks on the front of my R. I am looking at a used pair of elkas, non ressie dual rated for around 200. Should I keep my WP's and revalve and dual rate the springs, or should I just buy the elkas and sell the WP's.

its all good, I had never heard of them, at least not for quads. looks like its going to be around 350 or more for rebuild and springs

wow if its going to cost you 350 to get them valved and sprung why not just buy a decent set of custom axis remote rezzys or elka remote rezzys??

If you're selling those WP's, I might be interested. Here in Belgium WP is more common (they are made in holland)

elkas and axis are way more than that, and these have rezzies, with rebound and compression adjustments

true but do you need new??? also if your spending $350 to get yours redone you could save that $350, sell yours for whatever and probably be VERY close to a set of new axis standard travel shocks!!

keep them, and get them rebuilt for you. those are really good shocks, plus they have rezzies and full adjustability.

would it be worth revalving these and not having the springs changed? I don't know what I'm going to be able to afford with the rebuild.
