quotes Thank you for the feedback summit. The decision for Elka to move forward with such a product has a large part to do with demand. The vast majority of our customer base have been asking us to come up with a drop in fork solution for quite some time to complement our rear suspension product, and with this type of product, we feel that we are simply offering what the industry is requesting. Are we re-inventing the wheel with this product? no, definately not. However we are catering to industry demand, and they key ingredient to sustaining sales in an economy that we are faced with today is supply and demand. A lip seal is a very, very small roadblock in our product development for the snowmobile industry, but it is certainly the least of our worries, let me assure you. I truly appreciate and respect your feedback and opinion. Regards, John

quotes ...and what leads you to believe that Elka does not have the same pride and standards in terms of quality control than its competitors? And do you truly believe that Elka has yet to get into the snowmobile business because of a lip seal? I understand you may have an allegiance to Fox...they make good products afterall...but there is no reason to think that a suspension company other than Fox can produce good products in a competitive market.

quotes I strongly encourage your "friend" to take the time to contact Elka and have the situation rectified. Your way of trying to reslove the issue seems quite counter productive. Thank you.

quotes At this time, the closest we have is a 9 X 2.75, but let us know what bike it is for and we will contact the manufacturer and get some technical specs to see if we can custom build it. John @ Elka

quotes First of all, I want to personally thank you all for the great comments towards our company and our products. Secondly, the amount of sponsorship requests I have received has been overwhelming, so I ask for you understanding and patience in case you do not hear back from me immediately. I do promise to get back to each and every applicant in the shortest delay possible, but I do wear many hats with Elka and have to split my schedule in 4 to be able to tackle all of my responsibilities...and I do have to feed myself on top of it. :) Thanks again for your understanding and continued support, and as we say in the Motorcycle industry, keep the rubber side down!! Regards, John Ilkiw Sponsorship Coordinator Elka Suspension
