motocrazy, here a couple of pictures, stock skid KK had four braces which are the cross braces without supension parts on, I only have three now, but you still have the limiter strap cross memeber and the shock cross member and rear axle to hold everything together. Snowing here 37 iches of new stuff on Lookout Pass , ready to ride, yahoooo!!, If your track ever needs replaced, try the PowerClaw which I ran last season and was impressed with. MADDOGWFO

Not sure what ill do for a track. Probably try to find a used something and cutting down to 1.. or sell my kc ..debating aether to cut the fingers off my attack20. I'm in Iowa and not sure how much mountain riding I will get in. 1x a season not sure if its justifiable to have the king. Price was right when I bought it

Got everything swapped only had to drill out one set of holes for rear brace. Hardest part was getting my old stuff off my old rails. My next question is do I really need the front idler wheels? Had to file the notch out some so they fit. But problem now is where to.mount my scratchers? Really don't wanna drill holes in my new skid. Only issue is not running in deep snow all the time and I think the front wheels would probably be a good idea.

Mad - seen that but right there is where my front idler wheels are on the outside. Not sure how big of a deal it is to run them or not

Moto, if you run on hard packroads you may be better off running the wheels and find some other place to bolt, here in the Northwest we get it in the spring or a hard packed groomed trail, but the icescrathers do a pretty good job of lubing the hyfaxes, but this is also the spot where the most wear is on the hyfaxes, check out the picture, MADDOGWFO

Well got to looking around. Don't really wanna drill any new holes. They make the adapter to run idler wheels/ scratchers. So gonna have tool and die make me a spacer on the lathe
