As some of you may know, I am good friends with SKSPolarisIndy outside of this forum. He has offered to sell me his 1991 Indy 500 SKS for $500 and I will hopefully be buying it sometime within the next few months.
I will be making a nice little project out of this sled next summer and I have a few questions about the suspension. One idea I am kicking around is putting the Xtra-10 front and rear susp. out of my Indy Trail in it, but I am not sure if the front susp. from my evolved chassis will fit the wedge chassis, anyone done this?
Another idea I am kicking around is to leave the dial adjust susp. in it but make it into a 121". So I guess my main question here is, how well would the dial adjust perform for me? About 70% of my riding consists of rough, twisty trails, the other 30% would be playing around on the power lines and sand pits around here. With stiff springs, how would the dial adjust hold up to rough trails and jumping? I am not really concerned about my own personal comfort but more about not wanting to fix broken suspension all the time. Is the dial adjust tough enough to take a beating? or should I just go extra-10? The only reason I am holding back on the xtra-10 is I really like my trail, and don't really want to tear it apart, also like I said above, I am not sure if the front will mount up. I realize I have a while to think about this, but with snow outside I've been thinking about it lots lately [
