Feeler: Elka Rear Shock

Tj Hunter · September 23rd, 2013, 02:12 PM

I bought this shock in May 2013, set up for a 200-210 Lb rider (brand new from Elka) so that I could run Ninja Cup class this year. I really like the shock, but I would like a little more "tweak"ablity out of a rear shock. I am not 100% sure on selling it, but I am entertaining the though.

Ideally I would like to swap someone plus cash for a Penske or Ohlins.

$550 shipped is what I am thinking for a price.

I will post pics as soon as I am near my bike (It could be a few weeks as its stored at the Tree Tree's Racing Compound)

might help your cause... just saying, i'm not sales genius but as a buyer i typically don't give much mind to posts for an item that costs several hundred $ and there are no pics

What kind of adjust ability does it have?
