Just txt my friend in Sparks & he said a guy named Ziggy at RMS is the best local guy but if he had time to wait he'd send it to TBT in California. He said TBT specializes in desert set up's & they do the suspension work for most of the desert racers & harescramble guys he knows.

Thanks that's an option I didn't even think about. As I've seen from other threads that rebuilding shocks is a pretty cost effective alternative. I'll have to look and see if there is an atv shock guy here that could rebuild. I know there is a bunch of dirtbike shops here and one that may do suspension if they're still in business.

And ya I agree, buy once cry once. So it may be nice front, axle and rear rebuilt.

I would go with the new rear shock. I tried the rebuilt oem shock with no success. There are limitations in the oem shocks that simply cost too much to get them to the same level as aftermarket shocks.My new axis rear shock blew my rebuilt oem shock out of the water when racing mx. Just my opinion. Good luck with the build! And I don't think you would go wrong with the GT suspension from Maul Tech atv. Andy's apprentices know what they are doing. Top notch fellas.

Thanks for the replies fellas. I had a feeling RMS might do it, but didn't know if they mainly did MC. I'll update y'all when I make a decision. I think it'll be front end and axle then buy a rear after this season, unless it feels way off. We don't do MX, so a rebuilt rear may be sufficient for now.

Talk to Jim at Motowoz before u buy. He has great setup, customer service, and great product. I really like his crossover design. You can fine tune the tender springs with his design.

The new Motowoz are also aluminum body. Nearly as light as the fox float evols.

So I just ordered my Elka Legacies direct from them, 10-14 days for delivery. Also went with JD performance LT +3 arms on order today. End of March for shipping on that. Ended up with rear 1.5" spacers for now, just rec riding.
