Polaris Fox Shocks

[pimp559]

Has anyone tried putting the polaris predator fox shocks on the Shee?

[DUNEDEMON]

I'd say stick with a shock designed for the banshee. Have you ever tried putting Hyundai parts on your Dodge?

[pimp559]

No but Fox shocks were not made for polaris quads only. Kinda of like Works shocks are made for all types of makes and models not just hyundai or dodge.

 

Check this out. No springs.

Length: if its too short, prepare to bottom out most likely. Too long and they're preloaded pretty heavy.

Bolt size: If the shock is too small (better), you have to drill it wider to fit the shee mounting bolts. If its too large, you'll have lots of slop unless you find a way to get a bushing to fit in there.

Eye width: if the shock mounting points are too wide, you'll have to grind them down to fit. Too narrow, and you'd have to shim it (washers would be cheap and easy).

Valving: If its valved for your weight, the quad's weight, suspension width, yadda yadda.

 

Asking if it will fit... well, you just need to consider whats above. If you can find Pnaris shock specs and compare 'em, more power to you. The air shock idea is pretty cool though.

You will have to shim them if there like mine I got my shocks off a snow pro, you'll have to measure them from eye to eye fox shocks are fully rebuild able revavable yada-yada-ya I know the springs are the same as elkas and you can get the shocks shortened if need I had to shorten mine 1.5" I think it was that made them about 1/4" longer then factory banshee shocks.

 

Any questions send me a PM

Hmm seems that I can only post 3 pics at a time.

 

The spacers I just used washers

Sweet lookin set up. How much did you pay the shocks? What is a snow pro?

[cheezehead]

traded a guy for some stuff ended up like $100 or so maybe less (Snow pro is a snowmobile Actic Cat I think) but the shocks look pretty much the same as the polaris atv to me

The Snopro is ArcticCats factory race sled. I have ridden both the new firecat snopros and the old ZRs those shocks on them are very very good.
