Leave your atv here at your own risk

So I haven't ridden my quad since our Sept 7th Duck mountain weekend. I washed it up and left it sitting in my friend's garage. I recieved a text on Saturday with a picture attached, can you find what's different between these 2 pictures?

The snow picture was the before picture, the other picture is what was sent to me on Saturday lol.

Correct, the important part are the Elka shocks but yes went from 30" Silverbacs to 29.5 OL2's. They are just a loaner set from LE until their 28's get into stock(waiting for hell to freeze over for cheaper shipping rates i think).

I bought Elkas and just hadn't had any time to put them on so Tristan and Wend took it upon themselves to install them and then put the tires on for shits and giggles.

I better check the odometer when i get over there lol!!

I have no clue like I mentioned I havent ridden my quad since Sept 7th and last I left it had 26" stockers on it backwards so Wend could move it in and out of his garage.

I do things in stages, right now the Elkas are considered Stage 2, Stage 1 was Dual Muzzys which aren't installed yet and then Stage 3 well ill wait to know for sure when that's going to take place before I spill the beans.

It's a kawasaki it'll break in pieces with those monsters! I'm stuck at a crossroads with this crap, Elka tells me that I shouldn't run their shocks with a lift but when LE explained to them my set up before we ordered them they said yea no problems running them with a lift.

My plan was to run 28's without a lift or I would have kept my 30" Silverbacs. Oh well let's see what spring blows in who knows it's a long time to decide from now till then :)

Let me guess, because you knew you were never going to ride it again so why make payments? lol

Each to their own all my life I have spent not caring what everyone else does, now that I can afford to have some fun I'm doing what I want to do.

You are going to love it with the lift and elkas. It will be better than stock. WGAF what elka says about the lift. They have just not had that bike in with a lift to run a setup. However, apples to apples you were running stock shocks before, running elkas after the difference is going to be the same as running elkas vs stock with out a lift. Yes shocks behave differently under a lift but with the new elkas your ride quality is still going to be night and day better. Your quad will feel more stable, corner flatter, take bumps better and much less bottoming. Weird enough you actually gained GC with the elkas. So it is going to be awesome all the way around. You just have to ride it now!

Just dont get into peanut butter and take out a middle drive gear like I did.

Looks awesome.
