I recently had a great experience dealing with a fellow Snowest member Gus Bohne. I was referred to Gus from Paul with Rooster Built as a reputable person to rebuild suspension. We sent 3 sets of XP X suspension to Gus for a rebuild and revalve. At the same time I worked with Gus for what is probably the cheapest way to mod the 08-09 skid so it works like the 2010 (assuming you have X suspension).
Gus was able to put a longer front skid shock shaft in and we moved the shock back in the rails using the brackets from Tom's and used a longer limiter strap. It works great, was half the price of the kits people are selling and 1/3 of the price of the skidoo kit. He also revalved this shock to account for the added leverage by moving it back in the rails. Contrary to what some others told me when we began thinking of this, the shock shaft does not hit internally, will not blow out from the longer rod and works excellent. It bottoms on the front arm bump stops right before it bottoms the actual shock. It was tested and measured several times to make certain it would work before even trying it and skidoo race team tech even confirmed it would work and helped with the measurements so the perfect length rod was used.
Gus had a super fast turnaround, great communication and really knows his stuff from running a skidoo sno cross team and years of working on suspension of all kinds. His prices can't be beat and I am more than impressed working with him.
For less than the kits sold out there just to do the skid, I was able to have all of my shocks rebuilt and revalved, and the skid shock lengthened. Give him a call and I know you will be as happy as my buddies and I. Gus truly deserves the credit for a job well done. I just wish everyone treated thier customers this way :first:
