    Timbersled basic setup tips?

    ok so I see that they preset the length of the strut for you. Good. So what should I watch for handling wise and what do I adjust to correct it? I figure I could slide the forks up or down in the clamps a little bit or adjust the strut, or the skid. What are you guys doing? Stuck at work....

    Timbersled basic setup tips?

    I’m going to be installing a ‘17 Raw kit on my ‘11 Husaberg Fe570 soon and I’m wondering what to look for to know if the strut rod is the right length and if I should be adjusting anything else? I see on the yeti site they say that too much or too little ski pressure can give a “dart” feeling...

    Liquid heated bars

    The more I think of this, I bet it would work fine even if you didn’t have a straw inside to circulate the water 100%. If the hot water was flowing between 2 points near the center of the bars it would surely heat the rest of the water in the bars. I might try it.

    Liquid heated bars

    I know a guy who did. Run a piece of hard tubing in the bars a couple inches from each end. Weld in a good plug in each end to drill and tap for bark busters. Drill a hole in the center of the bars and squeeze some hi temp silicone in to seal between the hard tubing and the bar. Drill and tap...

    sulastic rubber spring on 2016 duramax 3500

    I've been considering these for a long time and never read of an issue on the forums, fwiw. I'd like a drop but with the 3500 gmc the second overload spring would be closer to loading. Niner, do you think a 2" drop would work just as well?

    Youth UTVs

    I thought those 170's were $4800!! I think of it a little bit differently. I have my son on a little dirt bike. The SECOND he loses control, he falls. You can get away with a lot of stuff on a quad or sxs before you get in trouble. The bike doesn't let him get ahead of himself. He did...

    Thoughts on running different tires F/R?

    I've been thinking of putting on outlaw radials in the back and a less aggressive tire up front like roctane on my maverick max. I'm thinking it might be easier on front axles and steer a little nicer? Has anyone tried this? Thoughts?

    !!!!!2015 yamaha yzf motard conversion!!!!!

    My experience after talking with a few registries agents and a few cops, and running a few different legal KTM's on the street, has been that it's hard to get a straight answer about the matter. Registries told me that it's not the reg slip that makes a bike legal, it's the vehicles equipment...

    Riser too tall and ****ty handle bars

    Nice work there! I like what you did with the relocates. I was thinking about mounting a bar in there for the kids to hold on to, but this is sweet. Maverick Max XRS 570 Berg.

    XM Post forward mod DIY.

    I decided to do this because I like to modify stuff, especially when I can save myself some cash. I picked up a '13 XM last yr after a few years away from sledding and I've only ridden it locally ( last year ) so unfortunately I don't have a ride report or much basis of comparison yet, but...
