are elkas worth the extra $$$$$$$$

[honda 400ex 69]

i cant decide if it is pointless for me to blow 200 bucks more on elkas when i could buy works all i do is ride maybe 4 times a month on trails and open fields and do very little jumpin.

i was just wondering if works would work good for me? or if i should go ahead and buy the elkas. i know if i races i would want elkas but i dont.

[HiperEX]

just buy the works if your not racing the works will work better alot differnt than your stocks but if you were to race adn i think i would go for the extra 200 and just buy the eklas but thats me

if your not racing then there really isnt a point to getting top of the line shocks.

[WildCatRacer]

the elkas are worth the extra money, but if your not looking for proformance I would go with the cheaper option and get works. for $200 you could those new tires you had you eye on. :blah

[ridered86]

ive got a pair of worska triple rates with rezzies a year old that i might want to part with, pm me.

Yes it's worth it

[nacs400ex]

Yes the Elka's are worth it. In my opinion spend the extra money and get the better shock!

[honda 400ex 69]

u guys all say elkas are better well what are better about them?
im just wondering

thanks

[Dave400ex]

Elka's are much better then Works. Bigger Shaft, SSD, Compression Adjust, and the reasons could go on forever...

[Derek]

Yes they are better but for just buzzing the trails?

[trx400ex]

well just tell us all what you want to hear and then well say it...

[toby400ex]

i kinda doubt it will make a difference to you between the two:o , since it will be such a better shock than stock either way, it prolly wont matter.:bandit:

IMO,n get the works. I've got a set of Elka fronts for motocross, and a set of works i bought second hand because they were cheap. I actually like the works better than my elkas. They seem more fluid and plush. My elkas don't work on the trails at all either, but they're set up for MX. I really like my works, the pro series. But this is JMO.

ELka!. they are worth it. Machined bodies instead of cast, They have higher quality springs i think they use eibach, 5/8 shaft, and many more options including the elites with hi/lo comp adjust and titanium coated shafts. The earlyier elkas were setup a little squirly so don't buy used ones. Now they got the setup figured. And they will be getting even better with time.

I just got my Elka's used, The guy got them just before Christmas from Splash'n Dirt, So would these be the better ones Forum?

[forum]

if the guys telling you the truth then yea i'd say they are good. Anything in the last year really. But that surprisses me someone would order them from splash n dirt when they can order them directly from elka. the two places are pretty close. o well. So nacs400ex. I'l see you at this weekends race??

[Dave400ex]

nacs400ex your shocks should be ok, but did you have them setup for you after you bought them used?

[nacs400ex]

Nope,I havent got them redone after I bought them. I have only had them for about 2 weeks tops. I was just talking to Yann about how much it would cost to get it set to my weight and stuff.

Forum, Yes I will be at the races, but I wont be racing:( I am gunna be my friends little pit person. He races 125beginner. But I will stop at your trailer.. Timo was saying its all black with a big nacs sticker?
