I keep hearing how good Elka is especially with the linkage option, but I'd hate to spend that much money and not notice a significant difference.

Anyone ride Elkas?

i have ridden them for 2 years now and on the 450r elkas dual pro linkage is 500 times better than stock. as for the other suspensions out there; all i can say is when your shopping around is to ask about customer service! how long to get your shocks, how long for repairs, how long to technical help over the phone; these are what i based my purchase on.

i can send my shocks to elka for serviceing and have them back in a week, you cant get a phone call back in a week from axis or pep.

I have Elkas (3) on my 400, and beforehand, I would be sore for 2 days after a speed ride, now I hardly notice I've been riding. Cheap, no, but worth every penny. I think there are some newer options out there that are good too.

Yep, dont want to say how much I paid for mines lol, but they are awesome, I only have the recreational version, but wow, world of a difference. I cant imagine how much better they can get then what i have now.
