Anyone know if the w arm on the short travel proaction (srx) is the same as the long travel arm (sxr/viper)? Or have some laying around to compare?
Do they interchange or no? I know the part numbers are different so I'm guessing they are different. Thank you.

You can look up in a parts microfishe, if the # is the same, it's the same.

He said the part numbers are different..
Yes the numbers were the same but start with 8cv and mine is 8dn. That was the part number difference

The early ones were prone to cracking at the welds. I wonder if they didn't update the part for strength ?
I can tell you that I put a 2001 SRX W-arm in my 1997 XTC and saw no real visual differences that I can recall.

They all crack,had my 04 warrior arm welded twice..
That's weird, I have a beaten 1997 Venture 500, and there seem to be no cracks.
I think murder answered it since he put a srx arm in a xtc. That would be a short into a long skid. I'll have to pull mine out and see if I want to repair/reinforce or start with a new one. Thanks guys
If this helps, I had no problems installing a center shock from a srx on my venture 500.

Everything in the two skids are the same (and interchangeable) except the shocks and transfer rods.
And the limiter straps?

in 2000 the srx arms had a little extra bracing on them, it wasn't very noticable.
