made myself some GREASEABLE ball joints. I think it will double the life (I hope) Takes about 10 minutes a joint and you have to be very carefull drilling (and not sparing the grease on the drill bit to catch the cuttings)

That is one great idea ,them things do dry out in a hurry !!!I have a syringe and pull the boot back and inject grease ,this is way better, way to go.....

Well today I installed polaris front spring adjusters and took it the machine for a SHORT ride (It was 0 here with a -20 windchill). I gained 1.75" of ground clearance on the front and with them stiffened up it handles amazing. they take most of the body roll out of the front when cornering and no more nose diving when I let off the throttle or hit the brakes!:beer:

Should probably take it for a wash and tighten up the springs. Also thought about placing an order on a gear reduction.
