Anyone use aftermarket suspension?

[Rider11x]

I have been looking at Elka Suspension for my Grizzly 660, and it really looks like it would give an even nicer ride than I have already.....I'm all about comfort on this machine...Any one use them or know someone with them?

Thats looks pretty cool. I wonder how much and if they have it for the 660....I must have missed it in the site.

There is a guy here in Pa. that bought these for his Rancher, and he says the ride quality is unbelievable.

Keep us posted if you do go with this.

I was hoping that you would score a set for testing and review on your site and let us know.... LOL! Hey I can use my quad for testing if you want! I'd be glad to help out.

LOL, I could look into it after the snow season....

Don't forget about your test rider here! LOL!

I also talk to this guy over at another forum I'm on....He posted these pics of his Elka equipped Grizzly 660.

I did my own suspension mods, First I fabbed up some brackets to move the top of the front shocks out so they sit straight up and down, Then for the rear I made brackets to move the top of the shocks out about 1 1/2 inches, had to put a shim behind the muffler mount to move it out as well. this thing rides much better because of the differnt shock angle, corners like a slot car, had to soften spring settings because of geomtry changes Awsome ride now, it wasnt to bad before but its way better now

I'm rethinking my brain storm on my suspension mod, While plowing the little bit of snow we recieved the other night I noticed the right rear inner boot is torn pretty bad I dont know if the lift did it or something else, havent determined it yet. Not sure of what to do but thinking of removing the rear lift because the back sits higher than the front anyway so it should still look alright and handle close to the same.
