Default Predator front shock remote reservoir

Has anyone read any info on the remote reservoirs that can be added to the stock front shocks??? I like my set up but would like to stiffen the front a bit.....at $169.99 each it seems reasonable for a full adjustment capability.....:confused

They are not fully adjustable, they are compression adjustable. What I liked best about them is I was able to soften up the suspension but still not bottom out on big air. I had to stiffen it up big time not to bottom out, loosened at least 8 turns after adding the rezzies. Also, talk to your dealer, you can get a better deal going through them than $169 each. My dealer gave me a good deal, and mounted them on my shocks for just $6.00, the cost of the oil.

The front rezzi's are one of the best suspension mods going. When you get them installed, have the tech remove the top out bumpers from inside each shock, that'll increase your front travel another 1", to 11".

I recently added the rezzis and absolutely loved them. My dealer cut me a deal and sold them to me for $150 apiece. And yes like modquad said, I had my top-out spacer removed and it does add a noticable 1" of travel. You will have to stiffen your preload just to keep your ride height the same again! Just above the stacks, there is a top-out washer...that you NEED TO LEAVE IN!! But just above that is a 1/2" spacer, that is what you take out, and it transfers to a little more oil capacity and 1" more travel!!

Are any of you using a dual rate spring setup on the fronts?

If you're referring to the Rath units, one of the fellow harescramblers/polaris technicians has them. Kinda spendy at around $400, but he's happy with the performance. I checked with White Bros yesterday on their advertized Titanium springs.....there was a silence on the phone, then a Butthead toned response of "uh, we don't have those". I asked since they're advertized, when they might be available...the response, "uh, I don't know". Followed by a long silence where I thought there might be a time estimate given, but no, just silence.

I have dual rate springs on my Walker Evans...I wonder if their springs would work?

You guys are great. I was hoping that Dirt Wheels might do a product evaluation for Predator part like this but they are too busy doing "PROJECT 400 Z" or "400 EX" for the hundreth time to look at good quality upgrades for Polaris products........I have a local bike shop that will set up my shocks for a minimal fee and set everything to my weight....can't wait to get all xtra's on so I can hit the track and take on all the new competition!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

You can check out the July/August issue of ATV Sport for an article on Pure Polaris gear....I can't remember the authors name though. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] If you guys pay my girlfriend enough, she'll probably smack me, when you tell her to.....then again, she'll probably just smack me for the giggles of it. hehe.
