A guys should talk to mainway solutions about this, he could make something with a greaseable double bushings.
Still need to keep the shock off the bolt. That wouldn’t do er.
Any adverse effects to this? I'm trying to save weight and open my alpha up... I bought a new hood and have to silicone the airbox again.
No adverse effects no. Works great, it does make a slightly louder intake noise but really allows the sled to breath and get that cold air in to the engine. I find the stock plenum very restrictive in its stock form. It was built this way for sound dampening, foam and sound channels don’t belong in a mountain sled in my personal opinion. Quite time consuming but I feel the gains are worth it if your going in to silicone it properly your already there so might as well pull all the foam out and shave the channels back.
Worse then originally expected, not sure I can fix it? The adhesive agent is cracked right through the top in multiple places along the bottom. Anyone have any ideas or some pics of a dismantled rail? I would really like to see the inside of a rail tip to see what is structural and what is just bonding agent. You can see in the pic, that everything that is cracked is all just glued portions, and you can see where the track nubs have made contact with the tip. Prob a new rail in my future as I don’t know anyone who can weld glue. I could do a tungsten weld to the magnesium aluminium but I don’t think that is what is broke here it’s just glue that has failed. Should I go with another stock alpha rail, Kmod, nextech, or should I go with a twin rail elevate setup, and just wash my hands of this pogo stick??

Couple pics if what’s it’s like.
Take a close up tomorrowThanks Niner! Do you have a pic of that broken tip from the front?
Should change that bolt out on the limiter strap for a carriage bolt while your at it. Might help.
Yeah I’ve had the new 21’ bolt and bump stop on order since October lol it’s been on back order all year. Carriage bolt would be better for sure. Thanks again
