After putting the WE's on I noticed the ride is more enjoyable and comfortable. Now, I can't wait for my Elkas to show up so I can put on the rear.

Definitely well worth money.

You are more than welcome to take mine for a ride if you want , that is if you can restrain yourself from buying them before the Takeover :)

I remember you and I having this conversation last year, you were going to take mine for a ride to feel the difference. We then found out that you couldn't restrain yourself, lol! :D

I said I was done when I bought this machine... hahaha

Seriously it’s so easy to get caught up in the mods. My buddy was asking why not just get a ranger so you already have the suspension, bed, power steering, etc... I said because it ain’t going the places my Honda can!!

I do feel like once the suspension is done (if it helps as much as I am hoping) I would truly be able to stop and just enjoy the ride. I left after my ride this weekend second guessing my purchase. If the ride quality goes way up, I feel like this machine would be perfect!

I am already feeling this way too...

Part of me wants to wait and see the ride difference and make sure I am ready to spend the $$

The other part of me says to myself if I’m coming out with my wife to ride for two straight days and I am already uncomfortable riding just at my hunt club, pull the trigger so we both enjoy the ride at the Takeover.

Decisions, decisions...

You won't be able to stop thinking about them until you break down and buy them. I really think you will be surprised how much of a difference it's going to make!

Out of all the money I have spent on the Pioneer , my wife feels that the best money spent , was the shocks. She mentions it every time we go riding!

Mine too. She knows that most of what I do to this machine makes it better but she had her doubts when I bought the fronts. Expensive as hell and are they going to make much difference? The first ride with them on she was commenting how much better it was. That just made it easier to talk her into getting the rears. ;)

Can’t speak for the WEs, but will say Elka Stage 3s front and rear along with radials have transformed this little rig into a smooth riding mini beast. As noted above when wives notice and endorse products pay attention.... hahhaaa. My Missus noticed immediately and that was before the radials, post install of both I try not to let her drive. She’s a kid after a rain storm with new rubber boots...

Well... I am on standby waiting for delivery...

I couldn’t wait for the takeover. I knew this was inevitable and if the ride is as good as everyone says, I know I need this done before we go ride.

That’s it... I’m done!
