has anyone put newer suspension and frt gas shocks on a older 500 Indy

[kenvb]

wonder if a extra 10 or 12 suspension and frt gas shocks would help the old indy ride better..after having that 03 800 Vertical Escape, this ole 92 rides pretty rough,

I have been researching this subject also and Yes an extra 10 will fit into the wedge chassis. I have read that the extra 10 is better than the extra 12 and they are more readily available. The extra 10 front suspension is suposed to bolt right up also. I have the measurements to instal the extra 10 skid if you want.

sounds good, I know of a XLT Special with no motor and has a Xtra 10 in it, hope it has frt gas shocks too ? let you know how it works ..

The info that you need for the suspension swap should be here JBShocks snowmobile shock rebuilding
Why not just switch everything to the xlt chassis

no, wont even think of switching chassis,s this 500 EFI chassis is beautiful shape, the XLT is beat all to crappolla..
