cowtown elka shocks
On a road trip to Indiana from Florida on BigRed (2012 RT). Stock shocks suck. Does anyone know if cowtown keeps stage 1 in stock? If so, will be setting there first thing in the morning!

Stage 1s are on backorder at the moment. None in stock at cowtown nor at Elka as of two days ago.

I ordered 1+Rs yesterday from Honda east in Toledo and was told at least 3 weeks.

Just a further fyi--I called Cowtown, they are out of stock. Hondaeast told me that they got deluged with orders right at the beginning of riding season which has eaten up all of the inventory.

I think Trooper said they sold well beyond what they expected or even had at Spyderfest. They are probably still recovering from Spyderfest, filling old orders and new orders, and just haven't caught up enough yet to get any overstock.

There is a pallet full of shocks heading to Cowtown today ( about 20 sets or so) , so they should be getting them early next week.

So, why in the world would I tell somebody to go out of there way to get service without being told it was ok to do so.
My intent was to help another spyderlover and was in the position to get him the information he wanted late at night. I hope he got what he wanted despite the peanut gallery comments.
I did say my info was as of Wednesday when I called cowtown, and spoke to parts to order Elkas myself. Hardly peanut gallery.

Talking to 'parts' and talking to Len are two different things. If you want a correct answer to your question, you ask Len. He'll take them off of a bike that's on the showroom floor to make someone happy and then add them back on when the new shipments arrive. The parts people can't make that kind of call. Hopefully this post will end the bickering.

I speak from many an experience with Len. If 'he' tells someone that he can make it right, it will be right. That's one of the reasons that he sells more out - of - state - Spyders than anyone else in the country.

That's where I got my Elkas installed...
And look how far I came to get them. (SF helped, too...)

Point well taken.

At SpyderFest, this year, I had the opportunity to talk with Trooper/John from ELKA. They hand make these shocks 'to order'. Len is one of the very few dealers that tries to keep them in stock. John says that he is one of the very few, if not the only one that does that. Please keep in mind that these are not common, off the shelf shocks. They are only made accordingly to orders that come in.
