Fast M-10 suspension in snowbike

[eskimojoe77]

Does anyone else have experience with the fast m-10 skid in a snowbike? I narrowed one up for my home built kit and have been very impressed, especially with the bump ride performance. On the trail I dial the compression dampening all the way to soft and it just eats up the washboard and whoops, no kicking or side jumping of the skid. I've compared it to my friend's MH and the adjustable dampening makes a huge difference. The m-10 is also pretty easy to narrow since it is a dual coil over skid. I replaced the rear shock and spring with a fox with resevoir and spring off the front end of a 1997ish Skidoo Mxz. If your thinking about putting together a snow kit I highly recommend the Fast M-10 (I don't know much about the Polaris version of the M-10, I've read that there are some substantial differences in parts and performance). Let me know if you have any experience with the M-10.

M10 or so

I used an M10 in my wr kit I built last year.

Mine is not too impressive for bumps. I did the same for mods, fox shocks, I did change mine from a falling rate though to help make the rear arm mod easier.
threw a lot of stuff away. I have had several m10s back in the day on mod sleds so it was all familiar.

down side is they are heavy. Pretty much water pipe and heavy solid rods for rail shock mounts. Was easy to long track, made mine a 136.

Using 08 M suspension on my new build, quite a bit lighter, easier to build both and front narrower arms. We'll see how it all works out.
