You are in need of square torsion springs? I will check the garage, might have some that I took off my '99 SKS700, went to heavier springsPusherMan said:
Maybe I guess....part#7041942 and 1943-SQ/77 degree? I picked these up used because I have about 5 1/2 inches of sag currently with #225 front track shock spring and rear stock torsions on stiffest setting. I'm about 270 all geared up and I figured bumping up to next level springs-even used would get me to 5 inches or under for sag...polaris1man said:You are in need of square torsion springs?

Ummmn dude, what are you putting these springs on? I went to the Euro touring springs on my '99 SKS700, and that was the ticket, excellent ridePusherMan said:Maybe I guess....part#7041942 and 1943-SQ/77 degree?

I see what you are talking about, now. When you pressed the spring back into shape, you changed the properties of the steel at that point. Not sure I would use that spring. Do you see the wear that myvertxcape and I are talking about?PusherMan said:The bend isn't with the long arms...one of the short arms that goes on the cam blocks was slightly bent upwards about 1/4 inch. I took it to a welding shop today and had them put into a press and we flattened it out to be about the same as the other one.
I think of myself as a real-world rider, and I put SOFTER springs on my sled. If you like stiffer springs, change them out. If you like different shock valving, change it. If you like louder exhaust, change it. If you like a taller windshield, put one on. If you don't like the stock graphics, take them off. The stock sleds can only please the average rider. Until they start offering spring options from the factory, you'll be stuck with what the average rider wants.myvertxcape said:And yes, Polaris puts on junk, soft torsion springs on all their sleds as of the past 10 years! Groomed trail riders like them like that, lol. Not real world riders.
