Good find...:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

 

Are these the bump stops that you were speaking of

Bump Stops - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop

and if so which hardness would you recommend or dose anybody have a better recommendation for a 2011 50" LE

 

Sweet .... great find. thks for sharing.

The hole is bigger than the shaft on the shock so the stops are a bit loose.
I just used zip ties and snugged then up.

I'd use the 2 1/4 soft ones. I had 1 1/2 inch spacers on the front, shocks set to top position and it worked really well. You need to experiment to see which shock setting works for you. Using the soft ones allows the suspension to work over a longer area of the shock, that helps.

Thanks much

 

Do these bump stops just slip over the shaft? Or complete removal of shaft to isntall?

Thanks,

 

Remove the shock then remove the spring from the shock screw off the top eye of the shock from the stem then slip the bump stop on the stem then reverse the order

P.S. these bump stops have a 5/8" inside dia. the stem is 1/2" I used a piece of 1/2" inside dia. vinyl hose about an inch long over the stem to hold the bump stop at the top. I've only made a short trip but it seems to work.

Hey I have read alot of guys using the Kong dog toys? Looks and sounds just as good as any of the other options out there plus they are cheap...LOL Aparently these are made from the same kinda rubber that's used for rubber stops in bumpers etc?? Also thanks for the info LittleMelvin..

 

I used Eibach BS45001617 universal bump stops. Bought them from Summit for about $12 each. They are about 2" long and have a 13mm hole.
Just installed yesterday so I don't know how well they will hold up.
Almost impossible to remove the top shock bushing mount without heat. A heat gun softens up the locktite and the bushing mount will unthread.
Hope this helps someone out. Vince

 

Good information here. I recently had all 4 shocks replaced under warranty and the bumpers were junk on them. I'm sure that they will fail again, so this is a great alternative!

Thanks for posting.

 

This may be an old thread but I just replaced the shock bump stops the were blown out on my RZR. The recommendation to use the Speedway Motors "Speedthane Bump Stops" in 2 1/4 Soft was excellent. They fit perfect and only took my 20minutes to install. This is a great solution for the old Polaris RZR 800 (that I bought new in 2007) that is still running strong!:ride::ride:

 

By the way, I used the Spring Compressors available at Harbor Freight for $11.50 and they work perfectly. They easily compressed the spring so I could take the shock apart.

 

Can anyone tell me how they got the eyelet off at the top? I can not for the life of me budge it. I have an 08' RZR Thanks!

 

They just unscrew. They have a standard thread. Maybe someone put the permanent type thread lock on it.
