bought used elkas how to tell if SSD?

[gncc400exxx]

i bought these used elkas last winter off of indygncc, and i was wondering if they are SSD or not,




Also what would be a ballpark figure to have these freshened up??

Just from the pic - I don't think they are because they aren't sagging at all and your bike is sitting pretty high and it looks like you don't have the ride height cranked down at all.

all elka shocks are ssd i beleive

Those have got to be SSD, the top spring is very small. Looks just like mine.

Bradley - Jeff has posted before that you can still get them non-ssd. It just seems to me that if those were ssd it would be sitting lower in the pic, but I could be wrong....

I don't think those are SSD.... Usually the top spring would be compressed more. It should be around $100 to get the shocks rebuilt...

looks like its on a stand tho. that might be the reason its sitting high

yeah, take ur quad off the stand. let it go down by itself. then hop on the front bumper and compress the shocks down. if they stay down stuck then they are SSD's

Yep - good catch, I didn't even notice that.
