P1000 1000-5 front Fox shocks availability

[Marcel]

I have a 2018 pioneer 1000-5 deluxe. After several years of waiting for a good deal that never came,(shocks aren’t cheap!) I decided to order a set of Fox QS3 for the s*** trails we have in Nova Scotia.
Unfortunately, they have been on back order now for months and I’m getting tired of waiting. Summer will be over before I know it, and do most of my riding this time of year.
The 08Z70-HL4-F00 upgrade package for the front are not available. Has anyone recently had any luck with the 51400-HL4-AG1ZA or 51400-HL4-F41 or another stock front fox shock for the 5 seater. I had asked RonAyers.com a few months ago, but nothing was available.

I saw those, but they are listed as the 3 seater version. I would think they’d be the same, but other threads on here suggest they don’t fit.

A few months ago I canceled my order from Ron Ayers for the front shocks for my 1000-5. I had them send me some for a 1000-3. I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) the only difference is that the spring rate for the 3 seater is 225 pounds compared to 250 pounds for the 5 seater. I was changing the red springs to black ones anyways so that didn't matter to me. At that time they had quite a bit of those in stock.

That was May 23 when I ordered them. Also they had 12" long springs. I replaced them with 14" long springs. Idk what the spring length is for the 1000-5 front shocks. They defintely ride alot better than the stock ones.

That's a screen shot from long ago. The springs are the only thing different between 3 an 5 seater.

Good info. And I think 225 pounds in the front would be too light

I have been on the fox trot for 9 months now.If you want shocks do your self a favor and buy a different brand.Fox shocks brand now is chit maybe good years ago not now.And if you can get it. What would do if you needed parts or replacement. Down shock down bike.

Check with a Canadian company like Elka, love mine!

I'm still running the stock fox springs on the front of my 5 seater. 300 lb springs on the rear. I think it rides really good. The first springs I bought were 300lb 2.5 inch diameter. You can run them in the rear If your take out the plastic insert. I chose not to, so I got the 300lb 3 inch springs. When my 3 seat started sagging and I cranked up the preload to get my ride height back, it bottomed out on every small hit at 15 mph or more. So I put on those 300lb springs that I had bought for my 5 seater. It was the worst riding machine I had ever drove. Rode like a log truck but it never bottomed out. If you drove it 20-40 mph on the trail, it rode pretty good. @joeymt33 gave me a set of 2.5 inche 275lb springs and it rides really close to comfort of my 5 seater now. I still have the stock springs on the rear of the 3 seater also.

So you have the 275 lb on the front of your 3 seater now?

Yes but I have no idea how used these springs are. I just know they ride way better than the new 300lb springs I was running on the front.

If anybody is interested: As of yesterday, Ron Ayers currently has 2 rear sets for the 1000-5 in stock as well as 10+ sets of the fronts for the 1000-3 they can get from Honda in a couple of days. Gotta do the "sign in/add to cart trick" to get this pricing. Change out the springs and you're GTG for your 1000-5. OTD price for me (Michigan - free shipping and zero sale tax collected) was $1,383.92. Ordered the Viper springs on Amazon from Universal Auto & Engine Rebuilding in NV (best price, in stock, shipped next day) for ~$328.56 shipped.
