Remmy's Stroker 30 Build
And Other Bs!


Sorry for the late build fellas. I must say with work, honey do's and owning a cabin that like another house, it take up a lot of your time! Now that bow hunting season is upon us, more time will be taken up in a good way
This all started when I wanted a SXS to go along with my 2 ATV's and my property/cabin in the great northern woods of northern lower Michigan. There we have some nice trails outside my cabin door. The other was for hunting and general work around the cabin and home. I owned a nice 02' jeep TJ that I fixed up and never really used it that much not to mention the insurance sucks on those! So I convicted my wife of 16 yrs if I sold it I could get a SXS. Now I've owned Polaris ATV's for sometime, and a 2000 Honda Forman that the wife drives. After selling the jeep, I went to looking for a SXS. I wanted a Polaris general, needless to say, nice seats but wasn't impressed. Then I got into a P100-5 and WOW!! I was hooked, and so begins this Journey.

She looked like this when I found her! Needed some wheels

Installed my front springs tonight. Not too bad of an instillation. Had to re learn my brain for my ratchet spring compression lol. It looks good. Kinda liking the silver.

You can see the stock fox spring on the right and the upgrade on the left. The fox aping has a bit more compression at the top meaning a bit stiffer.

What kind of distance you showing from the black believe I have mine set at 2”
Sorry I was Finishing up the rear springs.
Did you mean spring load? I’m at 2” in the rear and the same in the front if that’s what your asking.

I’m going riding this weekend so will see if I need to adjust the fronts more. Also is I need to adjust my toe in or out.

@GlockMeister told me 2” in the back and 2-3/4 in n the front. For some reason I was thinkin 2” in the front and while changing the rears today I thought...chit!!! That was 2-3/4” in the front. Oh well. I’ll try it like that this weekend and see how it feels.

Ok here’s a ride report::::::::::::::::::::::::
First of we had a great day with @tr005 and the wife’s on a long 79 mile ride on some good old Michigan trails. Lots of sand, washboards, mud and hills. We averaged about 25-28 mph. I’m must say I seen a Marked difference in the ride with the new springs. The washboards were much more managed and didn’t beat up my ribs as bad as usual. I ride on medium setting. Overall I’m quite happy with the new springs.

Oh, and thanks to @tr005 with the help of moving out the tank of an old wood stove I had in there and getting the nice glass front new one in.

Well..had a popping in my left front axle started a while back. So I ordered som 8balls front axels. I have one front axle that’s good so I’m keeping that for a spare. While I was in there tonight I found that the boot on my left front tie rod was bad so got one of them coming as well.
