New kmod for my new cat

[M? TURBO]

After purchasing my new 2010 m-8-cat you can imagine my excitment to ride it fo the first time. It is hard to believe you can be so excited and so disappointed at the same time. The sled runs wonderful and is extemely fun. But the ride on a cat still sucks. (hence the new kmod full suspension.)
thanks to kevin the suspension god, he has kept the fun and excitement in riding. It is hard to imagine that this simple and easy install can make so much difference in riding. It is fun to ride around a trail and hear your freinds tell you how rough the trail was, and all you can say is, really!!!!!!!!!.
Thanks alot kevin.

thats good to hear, i bought one but haven't recieved it yet. i'm a little worried cause i believe it's the first year with air shocks instead of a coil over.
how is it's boondocking manners, as far as i know a coupled suspension doesn't boondock as well as non coupled, this also has me worried.

Kmod ride try it.

obviously you should get out of your garage. probabally have low miles on your sled to. I have been riding m-series sleds since they came out in 05. and not one of them ever rode worth a dam. they had no transfer or coupling ability in the rear suspension. they would go down about 4" and just lock up and would not rebound at all. have you ever rode any hard trails on anything that would not move once it was down all the way. (obviously not in your garage)
it would jar your eye teeth. but if you have a suspension that will transfer all the down past center and rebound back up you would have a nice comfy ride. something that will gobbleup the bumps and mogules like they was not even there. something that a stock suspension will not do.

you will not be sorry. It is a great ride and the tech support is wonderful. As far as boondocking it will work great because you will trench as far or as much.

These suspensions are no joke. The work and they last. I have had these on my last three sleds (gen 1) and will continue to run them. The Gen 2 setup is provides superior transfer to the Gen 1 system. The improved ride alone is worth the money. Your back will thank you.

you could have just posted the link. if you have been riding M's since 05 and didn't like the ride, why wouldn't you jump ship? just my .02.

this is the first i have ever heard of this setup. sorry. im too busy working on everybody elses stuff to ride my own. i guess i don't ride trails much and im not droppin 150 ft cornices like burandt, so the M seems just fine to me. if i try anything i will try the float conversion on my 07 M8 standard.

not saying it isn't a good setup. sorry, just had to vent.
