2 sets of ohlins and like 8 sets of elka....and no failures. Imagine that. The roughest got damn trails east of the mississippi and every elka shock came out unscathed....:ermm:

Due the ohlins even count since they come stock on the 250r?


Eric, why you even asking what kind of shock, weren't the 7 elkas in front of you enough of an indication? (the 8th set were mine and I was back at camp:confused2 )
