‘16 Apex XTX with 137” Mono II
+ other gooodies
LOCATION
Uxbridge ON
So I picked up a smashed low mile ‘16 Apex this summer from a local ish guy who parts out 4 stroke yammies. Included in the deal was most of the parts to put it back together, with the remainder coming from @hibshman25 at Barn of Parts. Thanks again Travis.
My last Apex was an ‘11 XTX, which I loved with the exception of rear skid compliance, even with the Star kit. This time around I wanted an extended tipped-rail Mono skid to try, so that’s what I built for it. The best Deltabox II/III ride I’ve experienced has come from properly selected dual-rate spring combos on the KYB shock with decent valving, so no need to reinvent the wheel here, that’s what I went with.
I also picked up another stainless header from @Srxspec for this build to get away from any future EXUP headaches. It’s also a nice modest power gain that works well with his MOD airbox and appropriate PCV mapping. I ran this combo on my ‘11 Ape as well.
Here’s some pics to show how it started, how it went, and how it’s going now. When I get some real seat time I’ll post an update on how it all works together.
Cheers

Good find, easy fix and glad it works the way you want it to!
Time will tell, but I don’t see a good reason why it shouldn’t be exactly what I’m looking for. I have a habit of building sleds exactly the way I want them when the big Y won’t do it for me. Lol
