Front sway bar?

Just wondering if anyone has tried fitting a 2016 front sway bar in the 2015 models, I was thinking about machining brackets to make this possible, does anyone think there would be a market for this?

Help identifying a arms

Can any one identify what a arms I may have in my 2008 rzr 800. It’s got 30" tires so I know it has to be lifted some too. But the a arms have heim joints on all ends, no bushings or ball joints. Also do the shocks appear to be stock?

Fox Podium X RC2.0

I have a 16 XMR 650. I’ve only out 300km on the bike so far but the one thing no matter how much I adjust is the suspension. Going to the dealer to discuss this they sold me on a set of Fox Podium X RC2.0 shocks… After doing some research a lot of member on here are using Elka’s. Should I cancel this order? They are getting installed on Tuesday. Should I cancel and reconsider? I really don’t want to regret this purchase.

2009 Outlander Strut to A-Arm Conversion

Hey there. I read some posts about this topic but I didn’t really see anything about compatibility.

I might have a chance getting parts fron a dude whos parting out a 2007 Outlander 800. Mine is a 2009 – 500 XT.

My question, is this conversion compatible between the 07 and 09? Or does it have to be same year model?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

New springs vs new shocks

Looking for anyone who has added new springs and was not happy with the ride and then replaced the stock shocks. I have a 09 50 inch model with the stock sachs shocks and want to get a better ride with less bottoming. Is it really worth it to spend the extra cash for a better ride than just springs? My riding will be trails at moderate speeds. Like to hear your opinions and experiences.
