Big thanks to Vlad and Motoworld, excellent smooth transaction. :fing02:

Thanks for the thumb up and for your business. I am still shocked that only one person took advantage of this offer. Just in case if anyone still wants this shock it still available at the group buy price. I persuaded Elka to extend it for a short while since we had a good number of BMW owners that wanted it

Yeah, that's too bad. I'd be all over it if I didn't already have a Swedish Boinger out back.

Bought years ago off a VFRd member new in box, for a very attractive price.

Vlad, I did the Super Group buy 1.0 (2008) Is there a way to get the specs on what they set me up with for my bike. I would like to do some work on the front, but don't have any info. I sent them an email, but never heard back.

Thanks,

Scott

Great shock for the money. I was one of the last to get in on the original group buy. I got the two way adjustable with ride height. I had race tech do the forks to match and the bike works great. Nothing like the stock set up.

Get off that seat and lean away from the bike.

Thank you Vlad for the call.

The question now is whom on here bought the front set up from Vlad and how is it working out for you.

Sorry didn't see this earlier Scott. You see what parts I got here Scott, they worked out to be perfect for my weight. The install went smooth as well. PM me if you wish.

Hey Guy's,

New to the forums and new to the VFR

I sold my Firestorm to go to this bike. I see that you have a group buy going for the Elka rear shock. Is this still going? Also if it is can and do you ship to Australia?

Bought the bike 2 weeks ago. 11/2009 model. Great bike but stock suspension is garbage lol.....

Cheers :beer:

Sammy
