HEy guys i just saw this when i took the shocks off to clean them up and re route my brake lines..also when replacing the axle on my quad i saw the rear shock like this

this really sucks because budds is in less than a week and i need all of this stuff fixed before then :mad:

do you think its okay to ride like this?

that is the ssd spring spacer i believe and the piece in between teh ssd spring and the top most spring on my quad rates...i don't know but this is definately not normal and shouldn't have happend to my 1000 dollar front shocks,

and the rear, i have never felt my rear shock bottom out yet, but i do go pretty big on it and i guess this is what happens..

I would call Elka direct and ask them (1-800-557-0552). Maybe you can shoot them a picture and see what they say.

Yep,

Call Elka or Jeff, that spacer on the front shock will be easy to replace if you can get the part. You shouldn't have any trouble getting it fixed before Budds. Not sure what to tell you on the rear, but I'd probably ride it like that.

Given the choice between not riding and replacing the shocks with wooden sticks wouldn't be enough reason not to ride! :eek:

You should be able to get that crossover spacer fixed without any trouble. I snapped my rear shock into last weekend at my race. Was supposed to been back with me today, but UPS has screwed me over again, so it'll be Monday.
