elka versus works

[flinter42]

IMO I would look into a good set of used shocks that need a rebuild and send them out to SF Racing. I have heard nothing but great things about him. His work phone is his cell phone you can call him anytime with questions. Great guy to deal with and he can rebuild and revalve your stock rear shock cheap.

I wondered the same thing about works and elkas. Iread a bunch of the post about shocks on here a lot of guys say buy a good used set. But buy the time u spend a couple hundred on the used shocks get them rebuilt, you have more into used shocks than new. I ended up buying a used set of 450rshocks in good shape. So I would say if you have the money just buy new i'sure both are fine shocks.

I personally think that the OP is getting ahead of himself. If you are a trail rider, and occasional wanna be sport rider (we all are), then I don't think there is the need for 700-1000 bucks worth of shocks. Elka's are overated, and more expensive then works. There are cheaper companies out there that can re-valve your stock shocks, or even cheaper aftermarket companies that will be able to set you up with a shock that I think you would be more then happy with. Do a little research.
