are your springs adjusted all the way up? Mine was sagging really bad and all I did was move the cam adjuster up two clicks with a spanner wrench and she stands tall again![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Yes mine is cranked up all the way. Wondering if a person can get the spring retensioned?

Update, after looking all over the place in the aftermarket world. I found HD replacement springs. Right at the Polaris dealer.

I'm running the Polaris HD springs in the rear, along with a 2" spacer for lift. NO sag now!!

Update. The springs are installed and a WB/Pure silencer. Sounds good, not to loud. Springs are on the lowest setting and they stand tall. Great to see.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

how much louder than stock is that silencer? Or is it just a better sound? I know they look a heck of a lot better than stock, but at $185 I can wait for them to come down. Did you rejet? Any improvement?

Mine is a little bit louder than stock, Probaly more of a different sound I would say. I didn't rejet because the instructions said I didn't need to. Improvements...I definately noticed an improvement down low but I also think I suffered a little up top! I am going to try adding a few more disks to even things out a little, but it'll probaly get louder.
