I just purchased a 400ex. I am stripping the parts off it and putting the Elkas on my quad. I am new to the suspension area on my 400ex. Does anyone know how much it costs to get Elka to convert the Piggybacks to Remote Rezzies ?

I dont know it the terms I used are right, so correct me please.

Thanks
Craig

you'd have to replace the whole top of hte shock... it would probably be way cheaper to sale the piggy backs and buy a new set of remote rezzy...

if i read this right.....it would be an upgrade from non-rezzy elkas to a can style rezzy. im not sure on a price from elka...but i believe its like a $175 upgrade on the works shocks so id expect it to be in that ballpark.

That would be expensive, Tommy is right. I think you would be better off to sell those and buy ones with remotes on it. Why do you want to switch?

#1) Why Would Ya Want To? Piggys Look Better(In My Opinion)

#2) It cost Way to Much

#3) If Ya Want Them That Bad Then Sell Yours And Buy New Elkas That Have Remote Rezzies

#4)Why Didn't Ya Just Get Remotes In The First Place????

I was just wondering, my friend said Remote rezzies were better. I think I will just leave them. Thanks for your help though

I am going to have to get them revalved though. They are for 210 and I only weight 170. Do you think I should get them re-valved or just leave them? I havent really had a chance to get on the track, because we still got snow here.

Remotes are not better. I have them and I really wish I would of got the Piggybacks. With my Stabilizer and Brake Lines I now have no room up front at all. I would get Piggybacks if I had to do it again...

Alright, because I was thinking it would get crowed with my PEP stabilizer and then if I got air scoops, I think it wouldnt fit.

Thanks for your help guys!

Actually the PEP mounts different then most other Stabilizers. If you haven't already got the PEP I suggest a Denton or one like the Denton, if not make sure the PEP is Rebuildable...

how does the pep mount?

The Pep stabilizer uses an engine mount instead of a frame rail to bolt to and of course the other end goes on your steering stem.:D

yep, it would've gotten pretty bunched up there. If I get remote rez. So I am glad I lucked out with these.

That awesome a Duncan/Roll Tavis Cain replica. But I dont think I am going to be going to Gopher any time in April. I can go this weekend but I cant take my quad:(. The reason for this is because my dad cant take me and there is no room in my friends trailer. But I will be down sometime. I dont think I am going to be racing this year. I want to, but I gotta do a lot of convicing towards my mom. Also I need to pay off my quad before I can race it. Its just an excuse my parents used. I should have it payed off by the end of August. The only good news is that I can go on practices at any tracks. Dammit whenever I think about racing it just makes me all mad. I wish my parents would let me.
