Not happy with mine
By Patrick Cremin(Owner), Feb. 7, 2009
I now have 500 miles on my new 09. I like some things and hate some others. Let's start with the bad:

The remote resivoir shocks are a first on a touring sled and would be a 2000 dollar upgrade on a high performance sled. Having these stock on thi... Read Full Review

By Terry(Owner), Dec. 24, 2014
I agree with the set up described in the other review.



The factory settings appear to be for two 200+ riders. The make the sled very tippy and hard to handle.



We picked up the front end and loosened the shock springs right off and then tightened them just so they didn't rattle. Same for the s... Read Full Review
