Anyone tried ELKA shocks on their Ryker? Improvements?

[Spyderdale]

Anybody here installed ELKA shocks on your Ryker ? If so did it make a moderate or a great improvement ? Thanks for any feedback.

Elka 4 rear and 3 for the front. Its like night and day. And add the BajaRon swaybar AND links for the ultimate experience.

Can you describe the night and day difference?

Lets see. It went from feeling like I was on a 16ft fishing boat to a bike that is actually tight and controllable in all situations without that float feeling.

Thats good info.. i love the way my ryker rally rides, it is planted and grippy. I have the baja ron sway bar but the stock rally shocks, but on the highway at 70mph i feel like i just sway back and forth.. i would have said like in the back of a school bus but the fishing boat analogy works too

I’ve got stage 3s for the front en route for me, slowly replacing the fox suspension that I think is lackluster. How do you feel about your Elkas now? Same?

That is my next year project: ELKA 3 all around!

Still waiting on mine...long wait time. looking forward as we ride 2up fairly often.

I have stage 3 in the front and 4 in the rear.
There is a big difference, now the Ryker goes on rails, it traces better in the corner and the asphalt does not have so much bump.
A great change, highly recommended.

I highly recommend getting a "Shock Reservoir Clamp" for the reservoir.
