Does anyone know of a place or places that make aftermarket saddles?

If you want to put a ski from a newer AC on a Powder Special you need saddles that can fit over or slide down into those plastic brackets of the newer type skis.

I 'think' another option is to replace your spindles with spindles from a 1M machine . I think those spindles fit the Powder Specials but will fit the newer style skis. However, you may need to replace your shocks as well. I can't remember that part.

Best upgrade for that sled would include a 1M front end. Longer shocks raise the front end, and cut weight pretty drastically. As far as changing skis, get creative with the rubber and you can make any ski fit. And add a spacer or two on either side of the spindle if need be.

Any specific years 1M? Presumably you only mean the 1000 triple mountain cat years. It's probably a stupid question but I want to be sure to search the correct front end parts.

Not at all. Any year 1M. I look for 05-06 KingCats cuz of the titanium springs on the ACT shocks or Fox Floats. Bolted a set onto my brother's '99. Amazing upgrade!

It has different plastic than yours, but it is the same. Trust me.

Another question......

I can get my hands on a complete front suspension from a '03 King Cat including upper and lower arms, spindles, shocks and springs to bolt on to the Powder Special.

Do I need any steering parts or will the Powder Special bolt right up?

You'll need the tie rods also, but that's it. Should be pretty easy to come by.
