LeeKo, did you ride the RX-1 before installing the Ohlin's? Did you just install the Ohlin's on the front or all around? Did you notice if the shocks did anything to reduce inside ski lift?
Nice sleds. :wink:

I see chains in those pics. I hope those aren't for you skis when you are coming down hill!!!!
Spray they are tow chains for the Cats, Doos and Pols I ride with.

Ohlins
I switched all four shocks to Ohlins before I rode it but I did have a chance to ride it side by side with a buddies stock one. It was a big differnce in ride and handling, the straight rate springs helped the body roll but the sled still didn't handle as well as I would have liked it to. I then went on to change the stabilizer (11mm) and switched to Simmons ski's, this combination really improved the handling. I bought the longer links over the summer to see if that will improve it any more, but I was pretty happy at the end of last season with the current setup.

OK. Thanks for the update. It just confirms my planned updates this fall for my RX-1.
