They may be better than the cheap QS3 Evols but they are way more expensive and way heavier and not nearly as cool looking. 1st: That's a fact! Whew....WAY HEAVIER. But good for most trail riding for sure. 2nd: FACT TOO!!!!!!1 10 minutes ago, Jimmy Snacks said: This....especially the cool looking part!!🤣🤣 They will go perfectly with the BMP Can!!!!!!

Tomas. Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 7 hours ago, AKIQPilot said: If you can wait till Nov 15th I can service and revalve all of your shocks. $30 for service and $5 to revalve. All 4 shocks will fit in one Large USPS Flat Rate box. The boxes are called Game Boxes and available directly from the post office. $18.90 shipping each way. If your post office doesn't have the Game Boxes you can order them for free directly from the USPS. https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/priority-mail-large-flat-rate-board-game-box---gbfrb-P_GB_FRB Even if you don't send them to me the Game Boxes are the way to go for shipping shocks. Hey Tom, are you driving back to Alaska or flying? Also what's a price on rebuilds for a 2007 crossfire 6 and rebuild and revalve for my fat ass on 2008 dragon switchback?

Take a 30 Torx and pull the one bolt for the seat to pull that "bat wing" off there for better access. That think is a PIA. I just put a knurled knob or plastic t-knob on mine. Knurled came from McMaster. Plastic came from the local Ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamgreen02 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Added rear storage today. Actually has quite a bit of room. The camlocks are kind of a pain though. Not sure I'll be taking it on and off much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock rear and center are basically a match to the stock fronts. They can be serviced and revalved and be plenty good for 1500-2000 miles. You will probably want to run the torsion springs on the highest setting. A heavier center shock spring would be best. No one can see the skid shocks so there is no sense in spending a bunch of money on them. The center shock does more work than any other shock on the sled. A nice heavy center shock spring will make a world of difference. It's almost impossible to make the center shock to stiff on a sled. Check to see what Ian has for center shock springs. Get a stiff one if possible. I will check to see what I can come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what's a price on rebuilds for a 2007 crossfire 6 and rebuild and revalve for my fat ass on 2008 dragon switchback? We fly back and forth. Way cheaper and faster. I charge $30 each for a complete service. I charge $5 each to revalve. I would suggest 10wt oil for the CF6. Other than that it probably doesn't need revalving unless it's for a aggressive rider. On the Dragon hopefully it has the RydeFX shocks in the rear. If it has the Fox PSS shocks there is almost nothing that can be done with them short of welding up all the bleed holes in the sleeve and redrilling them to .040". It's not all that easy to do. The Fox PSS shocks were a huge mistake by Polaris IMO. I haven't serviced any of the Air 2.0 shocks but they can't be that difficult. I'm just assuming your Dragon still has all the stock shocks on it? RydeFX front and rear? I send and receive shocks through Canada Post all the time. Takes about 6 days longer going back just to get through customs. Coming to me they are normally here in 3 days or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get a center shock spring in the 225# to 250# rate that would be perfect. If you plan to pound the bumps pretty hard a 225-250# spring is good. If you are just gonna piddle around on the trails then a 200-225 is fine. Edited October 2, 2018 by AKIQPilot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good....I was just doing some reading on those Evols and holy crap I hope my dumbass can figure out all the adjustments. Sounds like a guy needs to get the air pressures close and then fine tune with the clickers/screw adjusters.
