The front shock on the rear skid takes the worst beating. :imo:

 

but i have faded the rear a few times...........since i stand at the back ofthe running boards and try to keep the skis off the ground through the bumps.........and therefore fade the rear shock

 

Bosscat, why don't you deal for a rear shock reservoir installed when you buy your next new sled?

 

it should be standard :imo: .....seems like they ran outta time to add one to the last shock as the worked their way towards the back of the sled

I agree it should be standard on a Sno Pro... But since it isn't, and you want it, might as well do whatever it takes to bargain for one when haggling over the new sled price.

The other option is do nothing, and not have it.

Might have to wait forever for Cat to provide it for you from the factory. And if they do supply it, you'll pay for it anyway. So if you know you want it, pay your dealer for it.

There's really not much difference in the end regarding who supplies it, you'll pay for it no matter what.

Hey, sometimes we just have to find our own solutions... Doing it up front when pricing the new one with your dealer might be the best moment.

 

booscat, by looking ta the picture of the shock, isn't the diameter bigger on it than a standard one is? It will hold more oil. It almost looks like a Polaris PPS shock from the pictures I have seen.

 

it is bigger..........but i still find i can fade it......if i ride for a hour non stop on choppy trails at high speeds
