changing srx suspension

[srxdoug]

I have an oppurtunity to buy an entire skid from an 03 rx1 but not sure if it will match up to my sled. I do realize that transfer rods and straps and such will need changed. anyone know the answer? mine is an 01 srx.

I think top shaft is 1'' narrower but should be easy to shim. Have seen a few srx's with rx1 skids.

I'm sure it can be made to fit...HOWEVER, the '03 RX1 suspension is not really that much of an upgrade (from what I heard from '03 RX-1 shorty owners with the stock suspension) and might not be worth the trouble. Look for a used Ski-Doo SC-10 or a newer Arctic Cat suspension (and yes, I gag alittle everytime I say buy ANYTHING Arctic Cat), if you are on a budget. You can find those for $200-300 pretty easily. If you want to do it right, put in an Expert-X or an M-10 suspension to bring it to a WHOLE new level. You can find those used too, but they are a little harder to come by. My M-10 is BY FAR the best money I spent on my '01 SRX.

Here is a link for an M-10 on Ebay. Might be worthwhile looking into

Here is an Sc-10. Cheap, but looks like it may need some workk

I agree with NY, theres not enough difference between yours and the RX-1's to spend the money on. Unless yours is totally wore out and you were getting the RX's for next to nothing.
Ive replaced my 04 Viper S skid with a Cat skid(less then $250) and it made a world of difference in the ride and bump control.
