    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

snowmobile shocks.

Have been trying to find some piggy back shocks for my 1100. None to be found on e-bay except snowmobile stuff. Any shock that is used would need re-valving and a new spring anyway. My question is, has anyone tried
a set of Fox snowmobile shocks, which seem to be more available?
 
You would be sorry. The leverage ratio on a sled shock is tripple of the those on a motorcycle. Way over sprung for a bike and the valving is way wrong for what a bike needs. Way back when, I bought a '33 dodge street rod that had a set of fox sled shocks under the rear as part of a 4 link setup. So stiff that I could jump on the rear bumper and the car wouldn't even move a 1/2 inch. Replaced them with a propper set of Aladans to get 4"of rear travel on a car that weighed over 3200 #.
