Advice Needed on Shock Recharging

Who should I take my shocks to in the Edmonton area to have them rebuilt and recharged? Any of you out there have any suggestions? They are Cat "ACT" shocks on a 2004 Firecat. I know the local dealers do it but I would prefer to support a small business or an independent guy? They usually do a way better job. Your imput is appreciated.

Speciality Sleds, Or If you're in the Sherwood Park area I would go to Sherwood Motorcycle and Power Products, talk to Zoli.

Try Al's snowmobile salvage in Wetaskiwin/camrose. Good price and good work.

Re: Advice Needed on Shock Recharging

I just check my shocks and my sled is brand new and the shocks are fox floats and the dealer only put 70 psi in the rear so check your pressures properly and make adjustments. I was prepared to go and get mine recharged as I was testing my pressure wrong and it was showin 150 psi.

Re: Advice Needed on Shock Recharging

Scotty Climbhigher Performance in Sherwood Park does shocks. Give him a try he is a small and local shop and he is a CAT GUY. I work next to him.

Thanks SledderGlen... I will call him as I need to get it done... I'ts just a timing thing as I don't want to miss the next ride because my sleds yanked apart.

Thanks again.

Why does a cat guy drive a 700 rmk? Doesn't make sense to me.
