Elka shocks

[bill pitman]

Last year(october) , I put the Elka 3-way+Hyd. preload rear shock on my 2009 sm5. I wanted to be able to adjust for the "squat" of the rear when carrying a passenger. I had ordered the shock just a little to late to give it a workout on the way to Lamont's BBQ. We really didn't bottom out too much, but now know this shock will do the job and fix the issue.

Now I plan on putting a pair of Elka 1-ways on the front(w/o remote).
Here's the question, does anyone know anything about "Moto World Online"?
I know pricing from Elka and a sponsor on Spyderlovers, & something seems suspect?! Maybe just a come on to get ya to call and check pricing? Some pricing is right , and some too low.
Look forward to hearing from those who might know.

Elka Shocks

I have installed 2 1-way shocks on the front of my 2010 RT. The ride has been great. The only question I have is how does the customer make adjustments of the preload and/or damping. I can see how to make the adjustments but I don't see how you know what your dialing in. I think I heard Lamonster say that the Preload should be 300lbs. How do I know when I get to 300:dontknow:

Hello Bootie,

What Lamont is refering to is the spring rate in the front. The spring that should be on your shocks are 300lb/ inch springs.

If you will be attending Spyderfest, I will be there to answer any questions, discuss setups and give a crash course on suspension as well.

OR

You could always just call me at the office 1-800-557-0552 ext 257 and I will be more than happy to answer all of your questions. :thumbup:
