Okay, done deal.
I just ordered the Can-AM "2 Up" rear shock for a Friday delivery (to be installed this weekend). Those Elkas are really nice, but I don't think I can justify the extra coin...I'm not looking to track the Batpod or anything, just want to stop the bottoming out that comes with the OEM shock.
Also, on an unrelated note...ordered up Lamonster's LED headlights and LED fog lights...looking forward to the extra illumination!
