I got mine from my dealer but here's a link. They seem to have the best price and really great to deal with. You need to call them to order though.
ATV tires atv parts atv wheels atv accessories Suzuki Polaris Honda

I believe they are a forum sponsor as well

Your dealer is atv outfitters, LOL looks like your link was high jacked.
Do they carry elkas? I looked before and didn't see them. I don't think any of the sponsors do.
If you look up worldwideperformance1 will give a good deal also.

Thanks a lot,i'll get in touch with the dealer.

[Slyder01]

i worded that wrong, sorry fellas...
I purchased my elkas from my dealer which is motosportsinc here in PA.

atvoutfitters is a website you can buy them from which is about 50 dollars cheaper than what i paid (i think their price is 1860 shipped for the stage 2's, that's all 4). atvoutfitters doesnt list the elkas but they do sell them. You need to call them to order/buy them.

I thought someone high jacked your link, lol. ATV outfitters can get them also. Good to know but too late, dangit. I ordered my fronts today from worldwideperformance several hundred under list, stage 4's delivered. Greg at worldwide estimated 3 week delivery time now. I guess Elka is busy.

I was also quoted 2.5 to 3 weeks fro 2 reasons the time of year everyone is ordering right now and they custom make each set for your body weight+gear you wear, tires , driving style, and even what boxes and weight of equipment you carry with you and where on teh bike you put the weight front or back.

Did you guys have to fill out a long questionnaire asking all the above questions and more? If not they should have asked.

I bought mine here in Canada they came highly recommended by a friend of mine and the price was good I think. It was $1780 plus 13% Ontario sales tax for a total of $2011.40 delivered for the set of four Stage 2+R's. Here is where I got mine
Madd Mack Motorsports - Home page

I Ordered mine on March 29th so I should see mine next week sometime but I will have to wait to get my bike back from the shop cause it's still going to be there for another week and a half at least to finish the repairs from my crash. I faired out not too bad it's going to cost $1700 for repairs to get it back to new which was only 3 weeks go. One thing I learned fast is that these 1000's are not your average machine. I had a friend ride mine and he has been riding every type of off road bike for over 30 years and it scared the crap out of him the first time I let him drive it.

[outty1000]

All they asked me was type of riding, trail, dune, mud I believe, expert, advanced, novice, beginner.
Rider weight and gear weight I told them 310lbs total, which may be on the heavy side but I was also considering the front winch weight on the xt plus I also carry fuel on many rides.
I Got my stage 4's for 2,295 to my door. Still waiting on the fronts my rears took 5 weeks to receive. I got a really special deal on ebay mistake of posting price on the rears but the fronts I paid 1250 through worldwideperformance1. I could of got them a little lower but I know the profit margin is low at 1250. I was told dealer cost was in the 1100 range on the stage 4's and they list 1495.

[Slyder01]

when you get them nonothing you'll be amazed how much faster you'll be able to go since the handling improves so much with the better ride. What really amazes me is there is NO front end dive, so weird since every machine i ever owned did that..

These things are fast and you can get into trouble real quick, just like you had posted before about the power giving confidence, it does, i never attempted hills i climb now.

Slyder my rear left reservoir was getting real hot with the muzzy pipe. Just something to think about when you get yours. I made a makeshift heat shield and put some cool-tape on the reservoir side. I'm about to go out and test it .
