Yes he does. I got Elkas from him, they work amazing but wish they were ohlins. Maybe would have saved a few bucks too

Do you prefer the Ohlins over the Elka's? If so why?
I never had a set of Ohlins but know they are regarded as some of the best shocks there are.
I have a new IQS sled, I will ride it first but am already thinking about changing the center shock assembly OR just the spring. I do have a set of Elkas on the shelf for a 137 if I decide to do the whole shock.
I know I was not that thrilled with the 3 settings on the QS3's on my ZR800, i cant imagine the IQS shocks will be that much different

I do like the shock body and reservoir diameter more on the ohlins. They are a very nicely made shock too. Both are a good choice and I do not regret my elka choice now that I am dialed in with it. I will say that I now have a vr1 850 with dynamix, the chassis feels nice and steering is biggest bonus I see but handling still has some to be desired but those adjustable shocks are absolutely incredible! Otherwise it’s a bicycle seat on a weed eater compared to my sidewinder

Your description of feel is pretty funny and mostly true… Once you get a sidewinder dialed in there is no other choice that measures up as far as total around performance and comfort along with durability. Of course this is not everyone’s opinion but thats their choice and to each their own… Sorry for their lost ……
