• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Once again, I have to take the time to thank John from Elka shocks, I've been both in the dirt and on the street with your products, and never once have they failed or been second rate! not sure who you get them so perfect but brother they WORK!!! anyone considering them I want to be the first to say Go for it you will never regret them. From looks and style to exstream preformance! Thanks for taking the time to be part of a small event for you all! It just shows how much you care about your customers and product! Your both a gentlman and a good friend! your the best!:firstplace:
 
I ordered mine at Spyderfest. :firstplace: Just waiting for them to show up at my door in the next couple weeks. :ohyea:
 
Elka

I couldn't agree more, Len. Cowtown installed a pair for me and the difference was apparent as soon as I hit your bumpy road. And John gave me some one on one adjustment instructions.
 
still riding, I couldnt agree more! its almost instant on the diffrence...they go from a buick to a corvet in 3.9 seconds of ryding!
 
They certantly are better than stock shocks.
I Love them.. Elka shocks are great.
Thanks to you Len for the foresight of putting them on the Special eDDition spyders...

Nope, you are wrong Len, mine is better than any dang Vette!! Hard to believe that a touring machine can corner hard enough to give you that "lawn dart" feeling that Lamont talked about, but mine will. Great products...:thumbup:....going to have to put Velcro on the seat now...

I never made it to their area in Vendor Village....dunno if they had a deal going or not. We could probably get a group order together (through Len of course) and maybe get some kind of deal,,,,:D
 
I got a set of Elka's for my RT. The Spyderfest special included the Elka covers for free. Normally an $80 option. I would give Len a call and see if you can still get the deal. I got a call from Elka today wanting information so they can properly set the pre-load. They were starting production and said they would be shipping in a couple weeks. :ohyea:

So Len, I have a 2010 RT, and it sounds like the Elkas would be a nice upgrade for me. I see where RS owners also change the sway bar. Is that recommended for the RT since it is more of a touring ryde? Or, will the Elka upgrade be sufficient without a sway bar change on the RT?
 
I have had mine (Elka's) on since earlier this year and coupled with the Evoluzione Sway Bar and new Falken Zeix-912 Tires front and rear, my RT-S cuts corners closer to a motorcycle instead of a "barrel on wheels". John from Elka helped me early on and even came by and made sure that mine were adjusted correctly at SpyderFest! Top notch Company!!! :2thumbs:

Sounds like you are pretty satisfied with the investment! So far my mods have been related to convenience (power/Ipod outlets) and safety (LEDs on order). Not that I think the stock suspension is "unsafe" but better handling sure doesn't hurt! :D

Sounds pretty good-- which ones are these and what specs do you need from us to get an order going?
 
Dan for most and John is sure welcome to correct me if he thinks diffrent, I'd say the one way with the 300 pound springs on both rt and rs....done several sets now and that is the most common of all of them, we have put them on rs and rt's with great success. If you want them just let me know and i'll have john ship you the ones we have comming for stock first and just start our personal orders over. Your going to love them Dan.:thumbup: It takes 2 15mm wrenches and a small jack and about 15 minutes start to finsh, very easy instal......adding the installing the gurads takes a few more minutes but very easy aswell

Don't they need to know my weight and riding style to set the pre-load, etc. ?
