you can pick up a 400ex shock for it or banshee

no i meant like Elka, progressive,etc. I'm gonna be racing next year so im trying to decide what suspension i should get.

i can set you up. my first question is how much money are you willing to spend?? if you wanna go all out this is what i'd do. get a set of ASR extended a-arms with a rpm axle. there are so many options for swingarms out there i dont even want to get into that. shock wise you i think you have 2 options. buy works triple rates or elka triple rates. its a good idea no matter which one you get that it has a rezzy. not required but it will help. if you get the elkas your setup and ready to go. dial the shock into where you need it. if you go with the works you can make them better than elkas! i know a guy that you can send you works shocks to he will revavle them to your weight and tweek a couple thinkgs along with fillin them with amsoil fluid so your shocks wont fade. so you got a-arms axle swingarm shocks there are cheaper options out there also. a set of douglas .190 wheels will be a decent substitute for the extended axle and a-arms but no where near as nice.

elka kicks ass

[blaster2000]

What are the names of the sites for elka and works?

[fasterblaster870]

not sure...i've never been on them. but i rec. you go with the works shocks. they can be set up to be as good of a shock as the elkas. the triple rate works cost as much as a single rate elka. and the tripple rates works can easily be set up to be as good as a tripple rate elka.

elkas ar teh best and you order tehm to rider wieght and riding stlye and oh yeah works are good shocks and all but never will they be better than an elka or say a axis shock. but bang for the buck i'd say works probaly take teh cake. you can get em cheaper than any elks, TCS, PEP, or axis


oh yeha you might wanna take a look at ohlins also they make some nice shocks and they aren;t really outragous for price either

dude you dont know what the hell your talking about.....are you the guy that mixed to synthetic oils?

[fasterblaster870]

ok WTF!!! i didn't mix oils damnit!!! don't start this crap. i do know what i'm talkin about!!! do any of you know rob savota? he was the guy in atv sport magazine that had a blaster with a ct240 kit. he had custom suspension done and had 15inches of travel. i know this guy and talk to him often. he has told me before that ppl send works shocks to him and he sets them up and they will be as good if not better than elka's when he's done. i'd trust this man after seeing what he's done before and he wins like every baja race he enters! my god one person ask if i mixed oils and its around the whole boards....... go ahead and blow you money on elkas but i'd talk to rob first he's on blasterhq.
