rezzies?

[northeast400]

ok the machine is ready to go, I need front shocks, I run stock lenth control arms, do trail riding, no racing, should I get elka with no rezzies, works with no rezzies, or works with rezzies, also are rezzies really needed for normal trail riding

works with rezzies :cool:

i bet elkas without rezzys are still 10x better than works with rezzys.

Why?

a bunch of diffrant reasons........ my biggest one is the way the shock is built ( havent heard of elka springs just "coming" off ) and the 5/8's shaft

all rezzys do it prevent shock fade. And that takes a lot of beating on the shock for it to start to fade. I would always 10/10 times take elka w/o over works w/

You'd be surprised how quickly a shock can begin to fade....

Works with rezzies will be fine for trail riding:)

its 5/8 ths shafts...must be that different view stuff:eek: :devil: :blah:

I have works without rezzies on my 300ex.I jump pretty high with it.When I had stock shocks I had all kinds of problems.The centercase cracked where the motor mount bolts to it.I cracked 2 stock swingarms,Just a # of things.



Then I got my works dual rates without rezzies.They are still a little soft.They work ten times better than stock though.


As far as shocks fading.If you ride the stock shocks hard on a mx track you can tell difference pretty quickly.You get used to it.Until you go with to a shock with res's and you can tell the difference.If you ride hard I would suggest getting the rezzie's.If you don't Then I wouldn't.

I don't ride my 300ex hard enough anymore to need them.So I didn't get them.I am happy.


I have piggy backs on my 250r and I love them.They are WP shocks built by white bro's.

lmao ya thats the better choice.

[northeast400]

I would love elkas with rezzies but not in the budget, I just bought my 6 year old his first dirtbike, got $500 leftover for me, if I get the elkas without rezzies could I add them on later?:macho

Cool...takin care of the kids first:macho :D

I'm in kinda the same dilema $$ wise. No kids involved though:p

Works might be good enough but everyone seems to praise Elka sooo much..... I wish there was a way we could try each set up to see how it feels instead of going by what others say.

I'm trying to justify getting the Elkas myself...

Decisions, decisions:confused2

Joe

p.s. I belive you can add rezzies later but it cost even more than getting the at the same time... Anyone know how much?

Your 100% correct. I went from works with rezzies to elka's and the elkas are better hands down...:cool:

Comparing the 2 is like comparing a Vette to a cavalier.. :blah:

elkas :D

shocks will fade faster if you live in hell i mean Arizona right and if all there is to ride out here is trails and that is working the shocks perdy hard wont the rez help it not to fade...

[northeast400]

Ok it is down to works with rezzies or ELKAS without rezzies

[modracer5]

go with the elkas no rezzies...you can add them later if you choose. the elkas are a better shock hands down compared to the works. also shold you decide to do something diffrent down the road the elkas will have a higher resale value.

[northeast400]

Good call I am ordering ELKAS from C&D tomorrow. do the nonrezzie ELKAS have a 5/8 shaft

[310Rduner]

pretty sure its a yess on the 5/8 shafts

[northeast400]

I HOPE SO:macho

[Dave400ex]

Yep they do. Get the Triple Rates with SSD. Then down the road you can add rezzies and be set...

yea get the triple rates but I wouldnt go for the ssd unless he was gettin the rear rebuilt for ssd to, just get the standard type triple rate elkas, they'll be awesome

[northeast400]

Ok I got a wrench thrown in the works I rode a 400 with elkas and with works felt about the same, then he had one with PEP's they rocked, where can I get a set?:macho

[remlapr]

The question is not where but when - lol.

[northeast400]

yea some other thread said there is a six month wait? is that true

[northeast400]

I also don't think the WORKS are as bad as everyone thinks

i have works with rezzies there good shcosk im happy with them but j 37 has elkas without rezzies they dont fade bhy the end of are 7 lap motos and they work alot better over the rough stuff and im sure on hard landings, id go with them because you can always add rezzies later on

[northeast400]

well I am getting the ELKA's thanks to all who responded, and yes the pep's are 5-6 month wait I called them
