Yea they look cool, I like a "wide ride" myself too...LOL. My YFZ is like 48 inches, and with my axle set at +3, riding in trails sometimes sucks. Also you mentioned Elkas without ressies, why? Don't scimp out on shocks, in the end you'll wish you hadn't. I've got Works without and Elkas with and yes obviously the Elkas ride a "bit" better, but I can tell after riding a while on the Works I start to get a lot of fade. Which isn't bad if you only plan on doing only recreational type riding. If not, then I'd recommend some kind of shock with ressies.
