This is amazing quad to see lined up with all the others at LS. I didn't really like the front bumper at first, but it is eye-catching and draws you into the entire build. I love the accents and coloring. What a beauty!

Took the bike to the track today.... FREAK"N loved the bike and the way it handled. The motor still has a shitty gasket leak from Racers Edge, but other then that she was tight. I aired her out a couple of dozen times and she held together. One of the heat sheilds vibrated off, but thats to be expected. Hitting up Little Sahara next weekend.

PS the horn sucks ass and it doesn't glow at night....

Really good to hear Mikey!   You know, other than the motor

[preddy08]

Mike, could you please report back with some reviews of the parts we hung your your bike? Other than the motor build


Also, please let me know what going on with the suspension. I really wanted to spend a hour or so with you out on the dunes getting the suspension dialed in, but with the rally being so hectic I didnt get a chance.


Give a FULL review if you could! Weather it be on the motor, suspension or the work done on my part. I want to hear a complete and total honest review on your part.

[Gunz]

Depends, maybe I will, maybe I won't.....




..... MUHAHHHHAHHAHHAHAHAHA

Known fact, I've got over 70hp... so I've been rocking a +4 swinger. I had dpe_ele build me a +2 swinger, one of the best mods ever. By going from a +4 to +2 I've gained some cornering back. Also by going with a cast aluminum swinger vs an aftermarket I dropped a noticeable amount of weight. A modified stock swinger FTMFW win! I've broke several and there is no way in hell I will ever by an aftermarket swinger again. Dpe_ele made me a superior product, props to him.

I love my chrome frame and my bad ass 1 off Elkas that were built by Wiig. I think Wiigstyle racing is awesome and I will send every set of shocks I ever buy to him to have built to my specs. They handle soooo well. Whoops at wide open throttle, tight trails without picking up the corners, Nice high jumps with plush landings. You name it, my Elkas are sweet. Am I brand loyal, nope... Will I buy elkas again, who knows, what I do know is that wiig built them perfect.

Mike, I'm tickled pink that the shocks are doing so well. I took a chance and had Wiigy do some really difficult work to those shocks (99% of companys will not touch that type of work) and it paid off. The color combo is freeking sweet and from the short time I've spent on them I'm also very happy with them. I honestly think that you can buy any shocks out there and have them valved by Josh like that and the will perform similar. The reason I went with Elka is Josh knows the people there and they will do anything for him.

Also the ease of adjustment is second to none. Every other shock manufacture out there you need tools to adjust the compression. With the Elkas its a simple twist of a knob and your done. Who out there wants to break out a set of tools out on the trail. When I ride different places I always end up forgeting to set the shocks per the riding terrain. With the elkas just lean over the bike and adjust it while riding.
