Has anyone done a bladder conversion in their late model WP shock?

I saw the factory connection bladder conversion is compatible with the x trig, what about the others?

Thanks

I have the bladder and X-Trig preload adjuster from Factory Connection. Works Great.

I was very disappointed in my new FE450s rear shock so I had Billy at Powerband install a bladder kit and revalve it. I've never been a huge fan of bladder kits but I got to say this shock is really good now and quite honestly every bit as good and maybe a touch better than my Trax shock was last yr. He also installed aluminum locking rings on it.

i work at pro action canada for don ellis, pro action makes their own bladder kits and they are very popular, i can tell you first hand the free pistons always stick and ruin the action of the shock.

worth investment for your shock imo

Couldn't agree more. I was never a fan of them but it was probably just poor valving on those bikes that I rode to test them out. My new FE450s shock with the bladder kit and updated valving feels so fluid and smooth especially in the ripple/choppy stuff when entering or exiting a turn now.
