shock question

[quadracer21]

hey guys
im wanting to switch to honda but i just bought LT elka stage 5s for my ds
(0 rides on them) can i send them back to elka and have them redone for a trx walsh set up or do i have to get all new shocks?? im a weekend warrior and would love to try and save as much cash as i can thank you!

if they aare the length you would need for the walsh setup, just send those bad boys to jet or derisi racing and get them setup for you. they will be ten times better than elka could do for you. elka builds them, jet or derisi perfects them.

so no matter what bike i end up going with i can just send them in to one of those companies and they can set em up for me?

if you call Elka they probably will re valve them for free if you just purchased them from them. why pay more?

what length does the walsh arms call for?


example if you have a 19in shock for your current bike, and the walsh takes an 18 3/4- 19in shock all you have to do is get them revalved.

i will say again, elka can revalve them for those arms. a shock reputable shock builder (jet,derisi,c&d racing, rocket ron, baldwin, greg's,ect....) will make them better than elka ever could.

i have ran straight outta the box elka's, after i got them revalved and serviced during the summer break they was 100% better feeling shock than i had before.

i think 19.5 for walsh but not 100%

measure yours eye to eye, then call walsh. if they say that length shock is recommended with those arms then there you go

[quadracer21]

walsh is 20.5 and thats what my shocks are

[xcracer416]

send them to get revalved for your arms/weight/ speed. i wouldnt really recommend GTT for my shocks. anyone else would make them sweeeet
