whats everyone doing for this steering fix? buying the steering post from zbros or just the steering arm extender? cost is about 95 for the extender and 195 for the post. you have to grind the spindles on both. might be a big improvement

Get the Chris Burandt Fox Shok upgrade and the air reservoir's from Nextech. Had them do my front and rears last week and what an amazing difference. Well worth the money!

I installed the Rasmussen steering arm extender and it helps a bunch with the steering. Kind of a procedure to put it in but once finished it works

there's a problem with the steering? am i missing something?

only thing that i can see wrong with my steering is that it likes to aim at the trees...is there a fix for that??

I'd also like to know what's wrong with the steering. Mine turns when and where I want it to.

?? It doesn't turn sharp enough ??

unless you're only trail riding on the hardpack...handful of throttle and lean....it turns plenty sharp enough...was actually very impressed with how sharp it would whip around...way tighter than my old M...even slow riding in the tight trees i never had an issue with the turning radius...

not sure why you would need any tighter...but each to their own i guess...good luck with the mod...ride safe!

I was talking to a guy thats got over 3k on his last week and he also complained about the steering. Said the steering stem off the 1100 fixed his problem and it's great now. I think something with the angle or geometry I'm guessing....he's been screwing around with his rear skid to try and keep the frt end down too.

Im not trail riding a can assure you that. I find when your in a steep side hill the more I can counter steer the easier it is to hold.

The sled is good enough without the extension it's just that much better with it. Just gotta try one with it I guess, that's what I did and was sold right there

Where are you guys buying the extender from? looks like it would help. I don't find that I need it, but if it makes it turn sharper yet I don't see a down side.
