Was playing around today & tried the BTV front shock bracket flip
just to have them fitted for later
A little grinding & a spacer and it's an 1-1/4 higher ride
height, just like he said.
before and after pics
Thanks Scott
Now, what i found most interesting, was that flipping the brackets with the stock rear skid set up, increased the front weight by 1.1%
Check out the chart.
On the left, is bracket in stock setting, with & w/o rider
On the right, is the bracket flipped, with & w/o rider
This was done on digital racecar scales
w/ the fronts under the skis, centered under the spindles
The rear scale was placed evenly between the skid pivots points
This was for my own personal reference & set up later on Viper long travel
and these numbers probably would not apply to your sled because of the variables.(gas, weight of rider, position of rear scale)
Also, wanted to add that riding up on your tank added almost
as much weight to the front as standing up
but I thought I would share
