Ohlins front RX1 shocks on Phazer MTX

[stunter1]

Will they fit? Found a good deal on some but dont think they'll work.

Thanks

Easy, just measure the shock center eye to eye with the front of your sled off the ground.

as stated... measure eye to eye... then measure width of bushings where bolt goes thru... I know nytro shocks need mods for apex's/rx's but not sure on phazers.... and also... valving will be on the stiff size for the extra weight of the rx..

I know how to measure them, I was just hoping someone knew off the top of their head. The guy hasnt got back to me on the Ohlins RX-1 eye to eye length.

thank you for the input. Anyone make this swap or find out they couldnt.

depends on which APEX they came off of too, The MTX Apex has a shorter shock that's in the same 15.5-16" range that Phazers need. I've got a set of Ohlins on the way that the seller claimed they came off a Yamaha sled and they measure 15.5" Eye to Eye. The seller said they came off an long travel V-max chassis but they definitely aren't the 17" long Clevis style and there are not the 13.5" SRX factory ones either. I've heard that the SX-R in Canada could have been ordered with Ohlins from the factory and that they came with a 15.5" shock and used the SX/SRX top shock mount. Anyhow, if they are in the 15"-16" range they should work for you.

thanks guys hopefully I'll get him to measure them up for me.

How much does a set of used aftermarket ohlins front shocks typically run?

thanks
