Take off shocks?
What improvements do the takeoffs give you? I am new here just looking for info.

2011 and 2012 RT shocks are better than the 2010 shocks. The 2010 shocks were lacking, IMHO.

"Take-off" equipment is equipment removed when accessory parts (such as Elka shocks) are installed.

I installed 2011's on my 2010 RTS not long ago. You won't be dissapointed with the result as it is a good upgrade. If I were a more sporting rider pushing the limits of the RT I probally would spring for the Elka's. For my riding style the '11 upgrades are very worthwhile. I do run loaded most of the time so I keep them noched up to the 4th setting(I think). Enjoy.
 Happy Spyderlovers

After the huge number of Elka RT shocks sold at SpyderFest, there must be a big pile of "takeoff" 2011 & 2012 Rt shocks somewhere so the price should be very cheap now, buying them from a dealer has to be the costliest approach.
I replaced the shocks on a 2010 RT with 2011 shocks and yes they are much better, but the Elkas are a whole new world in performance.

I think cowtown is shipping take for $150, I have a set with 3000 miles on them I will sell for 100 + shipping. I was told it would cost about $25 to ship but I would check and if more I would lower the price to suit.

I added a set of 2011 take offs to my 2008 gs, and honestly can't tell much of a difference. I have mine set on 3...maybe I should set it to 4 or 5.

I was wondering where all of those take off shocks from Elka installations at Spyderfest were going to end up. Glad these were recycled to other Spyder Ryders rather than filling a landfill site.
