Hi, I re-build my own shocks for Polaris (Fox) shocks.
I just acquired my dad's 07 Venture GT with the remote reservoir front shocks and non-remote gas shocks for the rear.
Would anyone have a re-build manual for the shocks? I really only need the IFP Depth Settings for all of the shocks.
If anyone can help, that would be great.

Well, the front shocks you can measure the rezi when you open it up. The rear I haven't a clue... Sway Away has a rezi piston travel calculator on their page that might help....

Hi Thanks for the tip.
I read up on another method that might work.
Release the pressure from the nitrogen side. Then remove the needle filler cap. Fully compress the shaft of the shock into the body. Fill the nitrogen side with shock oil, then re-install the needle filler cap. This prevents the IFP From moving when you remove the cap from the shaft end.
I guess if both ski shocks IFP are the same distance apart, then you might have the IFP Depth. I'll post them when I take it apart.

That reverse fill sounds like a great idea. I'll have to remember that one... curious though, why compress the shaft before adding oil to the gas chamber? This would place the piston is the wrong spot for getting your measurement when you R&R... yes/no?
