Stuff

warriorrider13 · Feb 17, 2006

OK I've been thinking of what shocks to buy and don't think it would be worth buying Elka's because my dad says you get nothing out of buying expensive stuff because he wants to sell it. I really wanna keep the Warrior for a long time because I love it(even though like everything has broken on it). I have two choices buy these cheap set of front shocks for about $300 or wait like a month a half and buy Elka's. Because I told my mom about me being very short on money and stuff, so she said that I can help her at work because she kinda needs the help. She pays me $10/hour(pretty good for a 15 year old) The Elka's I'm looking at buying are the Recreational shocks from Alba which are probably gonna be about ($600). So say if I worked every day I could and put about all the hours I could put in(which is only like 2-4,5 max)I would make around $150-200 a week.
I also really wanna keep it because I would really enjoy modding and tuning engines. My dream job would be a factory motocross technician fixing Racers ATVs.

Sorry I got a little off topic there, so what do you guys think I should do??? **** this post is ******* LONG!

Hold off and get the Elkas.

But you may be able to find a better price than Alba. I don't know for sure, but it seems to me many times Alba is priced a little high.

But definately hold off and get what you want. If you don't, you'll wish you had...

ya, if you want the elkas, save your money and get them. I think you can get a set of new ones for about 100 less on ebay.

I don't think my dad will let me go on Ebay he is barely letting me buy online. But ya thanks for your suggestion. OH YA and what about my rear shock? Could I just send it to elka and they tune to match the front?

I'm not sure if elka does that or not. I know works does it, but I never heard of any other companies re-valving stock shocks.

yeah me and my dad were schetchy about buying online until we got the quad and now that is where we get all our parts

i suggest have your mom hold the money....if i had 600$ laying around, i guarintee they wont be spent on shocks...i know from experience
