Hey Guys,
Planning to add a set of idlers at the rear of the skid just ahead of the back rollers. Do I have to worry about them possibly interfering with the high rollers when the skid is collapsed? Will they actually make contact?
I am planning to add a stock sized idler on the same type of mount the front inner idlers use.
Any input here would be helpful.
Thanks
MS

Why are you running Ski Doo wheels? Are they a little bit larger?

135 mm so they are a little taller and have replaceable bearings which the stock 2008 didn't have.

Hey grizz
It looks like you used the existing hole in the skid?
Thanks for the pic

I just remove the shocks and springs (or at least take them loose), and run a metal plate or even some wood between the mount points (make sure to get the same CTC as in the sled). Then you can work the skid through the full motion path to determine if it will hit anywhere. You can also just mount it back in the sled which is sometimes easier, especially if the track is out.
