Looking for a deal on some skid shocks, the stocker gets overwhelmed pretty easy. Cant wait to ride this winter! Got a couple Quebec trips on the itinerary this season. looking good Would look even better if you got rid of those warning labels tho Get ahold of Ian @ Monster Performance. He has new take offs for good prices and lots of other options 54 minutes ago, Zambroski said: Agreed. It's 100% true 51 minutes ago, Zambroski said: Nice updates. Why not just revalve the center? What is that on your floor or, why is your sled in the living room? Either way...I like it!

There's a pretty good chance if I buy a consumer sled next, I'm just gonna buy a "base" model and build it up from there. I can make it twice the sled of any top end model with the money savings. A good summer project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocks alone are 1500 or so for half decent set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it'd be a helluva sled for about the same money and I could make it what I wanted.

And those aren't their best offerings. I paid $1,000 for all 4 used '13 XRS shocks off a guy on DooTalk. Ian gave me a $500 credit for the rear and center (couldn't swap shafts and make them work for a 137") and $300 for the TNT fronts, towards the Exits. XRS shocks brand new are $4k+ for all 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bought it and played "dress up" with the ski doo accessory catalog. Garage queen. Still, sled can be had new, out the door for less right now. I guess he figures his heated shield plug, gauntlets and bitchin' shock covers are worth it. LOL Gonna text him and tell him he can take off all that shit and I'll give him $9k....CASH!!!!

Those are actually better shocks than you think. They're no where near "base line package". As for the rest , no one needs a CPL either. But it sure is nice having one if you have to drive thru a shitty area. Better to have and not need, than need and not have. We use to beat the shit out of ourselves on sleds that had hardly any suspension at all. Why would I keep doing that shit now that I'm older , on the same trails that get beat to to fuck,when there's sled with much better suspension available? 7 hours ago, Edmo said: Baby Blue trail permits this year!!!!1 And orange registration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but I’m kind of fussy after years of mx racing. My Adrenaline rides like a Cadillac on groomed trails, but if it starts getting shelled out like many Saturday afternoons do, it starts clanking off the the bump stops pretty easy. I’m a fairly big boy plus I carry a good amount of gear and often gas on the back, and the stock springs were just too soft. Did a spring upgrade and revalve on my Freeride a couple years ago, and it was probably the best working suspension I’ve had, so im going for a similar outcome here. The adjustable bars will be mint for stand up riding too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I've got the cheap oil filled shocks on the Gade Sport and the center shock is the only half decent one on the sled. I was going to change them on both sleds but wasn't going to spend that kinda money. We were out on a whooped out trail so I started adjusting from the fronts so it wouldn't bottom out and be too stiff then did the rear blocks. I got them both set up for each of us and could the stutterbumps at a good clip. Just doing that worked out good and saved some money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t do a lot of destination trips where you have to. Mostly just cottage loops and have been riding the same area for years so I know all the short cuts and what gets destroyed and when. It’s easy to plan around riding beat up trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can leave in the morning on smooth trails and ride back on shit in the afternoon.

I only got the xcr because it was a left over and same price as another dealer for the lower model. I could care less about the xcr race bracing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
