Anyone know the actual "FOX" part # for the LE front and rear shocks?
The Yamaha factory will not work in this situation, reason is I have a store credt at a place the does not deal with sleds BUT they can get me any Fox shocks I need. Is there any numbers on the actual shocks maybe one of you could search for me? I've been online for couple hours trying to cross referance.

You need to call fox.....Or email them.
I had some specific issues with FOX Evols I ordered few yrs ago, and got wrong ones. I made contact with them thru their email on their site. After a couple weeks I got a reply from someone high up at fox. He knew all part numbers and just about anything else on specs.
You might be able to call too, but I was not in a hurry and did it all thru email.....I dont think I still have his email but I would go that route, and they can certainly get you proper shock to order from the LE model.

Those are the ones I purchased and do not fit, they are good on length but the reservoir is angled left not centered, if you look close to the pic you can see it a and hits the intercooler tubes for the fronts. And the rear shocks do not have the adjuster knob.

That's weird. Are you selling them? I have an SE and could possibly upgrade.Those are the ones I purchased and do not fit, they are good on length but the reservoir is angled left not centered, if you look close to the pic you can see it a and hits the intercooler tubes for the fronts.

Well that's what I have a SE also trying to upgrade. The place I purchased said they are going to exchange them for the correct units. But if you want them hey I'll sell em to you.That's weird. Are you selling them? I have an SE and could possibly upgrade.

I guess they wouldn't fit mine either so that does not make any sense I guess.
Would like to to see the LE and SE side by side. Can't see how there could be a difference.

Well this sucks for me and my credit.
Hi Brian,
I believe that the model you are describing is a Yamaha OEM shock, and only available through them. The only aftermarket shock that we make for the Sidewinder is a FLOAT 3 EVOL R.
Thank you,

Ok this might be a stupid question but on the Qsr3, the rebound adjuster, is the "+" faster rebound? I'm guessing yes but not sure. Mine is too bouncy whereas my buddies Polaris Rush is so plush on the bumps.

I can't see how the chassis could be different. Stop into a dealer and try to compare.
