Hey there,
When I purchased my 98srx 700 i was given a parts sled along with it (skid and track installed on it 144") turns out the parts sled is a 2000 srx. I've read and learnt the approach angle changes which alters the rear skid. My sled has a relatively new skid, or barely ridden on, so I would like to keep running it but want to update to the new geometry and achieve A better approach angle.
When I tore my parts sled down I made a template out of wood with all the mounting points and where everything goes.
I altered my current skid to match the parts sled skid, this included tightening eliminator straps, swapping both front and rear shocks, swapped transfer rods, and the adjustable rear shock mounting point on I believe the front side, all the way to the Up position to match the parts skid.
I had new brackets made and transferred all holes and measurements from the template, on to my sled.
My sled: 141" x 2" track with a drop n roll
Parts sled: 144" x 2" track everything else stock.
I go and attempt to bolt this skid in and no go, I've tried and tried and it's just not going, I removed the lower transfer rod bolts on both sides then I can get it to go but holes are off at least an inch from hitting the hole for the removed bolt.
I will try it have some pictures up by tomorrow night.
Can anyone think of something i may have missed or have any tips. I'm at a loss and snows in the forecast!!!!
Thanks once again guys
