Removed the skid tonight and well its sloppy. Who has the busking kits. I remember someone saying their not available. Was that mountain or pioneer? Also the previous owner claimed to put viper shocks in but I think it was just the rear?? The rear shock is about 18.5 center to center with 5 1/4 travel. The front shock is 13" with 2 1/2 travel and the limiter straps have a part# 86m-474.
The hyfax are shot, should I get graphite or UHMW? Thanks

I bought my bushing kit from Pioneer. It had all the OEM yamaha bushings in it. Cost around $100 and saved me from having to find part no's and order each one seperately. I also got pioneers little wheel kit, it's a nicely machined addition. Check the tech pages for stock suspension lengths. I think the viper travel is around 11" rear and 9" on the front just like on my SXR.

13" should be right for viper rear center shock. I dont know what the length was for the SRX.

I looked on ebay for some shocks with the tape measure trick and it is a viper shock. Is the small w-arm shock the same length as the viper or different as well? Just wondering if this conversion was done right!
sxr70001- I placed my order from pioneer today for the bushings, Thanks
It was mountain that is no longer selling them, I found the thread.

TTT. Still rounding up parts. Think im going to do the 5.35" wheels and found some missing track clips but dont have the tool. 
Any one know the shock answers for the rear viper conversion?

Make sure to use BTV's instructions for tighiening up the slop in the pivot points! I did mine that way, and what a difference! Night, and day.
