HELP-Need new slide rails

sledbunnyracing · 05-14-2007, 05:53 PM

On my last ride I was having trouble with my track ratcheting...but could do "Awesome" cat walks. Summitric noticed the problem the next morning as we prepared to head out. I had cracks at the bolt holes on both of my rails.
I'm looking for a set of used 156" (will consider 159") rails that will fit a 2001 800 RMK. If you can help please send me a private message or a post on this thread.

Yep, major catwalks anywhere I wanted to but wouldn't climb worth a darn (like doo's).
Thanks Catmando, any assistance would be appreciated.

Cheers.

I've changed my plan slightly. I'm looking for a 2002 or newer skid from any brand. 151" to 156" will work. It will be mounted into a 2001 800 RMK.
Let me know if you have one available.
Thanks

If you need practicing changing out a rear skid you can come and change mine out 1st.......I have everything just need the time and beer to doo it

I can't tell you how good I've gotten at it. Had mine out twice this year and aslo stripped it to the bone trying to find a problem that never did exist.
Usually take it out each year anyway to check it over...a bit of a pain but after a few wobbly pops I keep going.
Be glad to help if you needing it.
Cheers

Way too late for this response. Whats wrong with welding them and then a gusset over top if you want. Never break them there again and wayyyy cheaper.

sledbunnyracing · 11-29-2007, 08:28 AM

I looked into that but the metal has been too badly damaged at this point and there was a fear of warping the bottom of the rails. Opted for new custom rails out of the USA.

If u still got them busted rails I'd like to take a wack at fixing em. No charge for labor and less than $50 for the alum. gussets. I'm trying to get to Michener's auction on fri. the 7th. Get back to me with a ph. no. and maybe we can meet.

sledbunnyracing · 12-06-2007, 12:13 AM

Hey, thanks for the offer. I've purchased a set of aftermarket 156" rails from the USA. I'm in the process of putting it back together again. Tomorrow I'm post a couple of photos and the story..nothing ever goes as planned.
