GYTR Shocks Apex GT on an 03 rx1

[Jarle Austdal]

Hello got my hands on a cupple GYTR w hygear revalve.
I put them on my sled then i realized that they are shorter about and inch(16-1/2”). Which made for a funny angled track made it great at backing up lol. But it also made it lift the skis with no effort.
Iv been trying to find information on this. Im guess the spindels on an apex is higer or the a arms are shorter(maby both).
have anyone tryed to make this work on an rx1.
If so how much of the apex front suspension components has to be used.

The Apex spindles are different. Along with the a arms on the apex are wider. I made the change on my 04 warrior but I used 06 RS nitro front end parts, was very pricey. All the parts were new. I believe you can have the shock shafts changed or find longer shocks. Sorry for the bad news.

 

[Jarle Austdal]

From what i can find 06 nytro had 16'' or another source 16 5/8" is this correct im pretty sure i could make that work.

 

[Elton Buss]

They should be 16.5 inches.

 

[Jarle Austdal]

Thats what i need then.
Did you need everything that ties to the chassi from the nytro including tie rods?

 

[Elton Buss]

I replaced all four a arms, spindles and spindle covers. Tie rod ends where long enough. I purchased everything new. Like i said it was pricey.

Are you referring to what they call speed rings that go around mouth of carb and were commonly used with K&N filters? If so I have a set.

Im loking for the caps on the top of the carburettors. The ones that come stock are plastic and starts to leak under pressure.
