Mac Daddy Kit...

Hey Jeff,

Can you give us a price for the 400ex front and rear Mac Daddy kit?

"Retrofit your stock shock with SSD (self-sagging device, i.e. zero-preload) and new spring, custom revalve, new oil and clean up."

Can we get Rezzies on them?

And some pros and cons of doing the kit, instead of buying new shocks? Tnx.

Well, you cant do a MacDaddy conversion on the front because stock front shocks are not serviceable. Here is a shot explanation of the SSD feature.
The "no preaload" feature give the suspension maximum traction and stability at the beginning of the stroke while ensuring excellent impact resistance at the end of it. This feature lowers the height - and therefore the centre of gravity - of the ATV, resulting in easier turns and better weight transfer. There really is no con to doing a MacDaddy kit. A full on Elka rear shock is much more expensive. Usually the only people that buy the Elka rear shock are aggressive racers.

PM or email me for pricing.

hope this helps
