Does anybody know what the front bumper height of a SXR is supposed to be as the sled sits w/o the rider? I'm trying to make sure I have the height set up right for my 700sx with the SXR shocks and radius rods. I need to check this before I set the final install of my skid, so I have the right final set up.

OK... Can anyone measure their front bumper height? Top of the bumper to the ground, preferably with a full tank of gas. And give me that measurement? This would to make sure I'm close, at least. Thanks.

Thanks, but here's why I think I need the bumper height, not just that information. When you take your skid out the front end will settle down, because the front skid shock is no longer there to support the front of the sled. I'm converting to a newer style skid, that I can't get enough information on, and the skid is not currently installed. Soooo, I want to block up the front to the proper height to verify that I have the corrected measurements for the front holes in the tunnel. I've already drilled 2 sets of holes that are wrong so I'd rather not drill another set of holes just to discover that, the measurements are no good since the front wasn't sitting at the right height.
If someone asks me why I have so many holes in the tunnel I'll just tell them I'm experimenting with porting my tunnel... Haha.
