I am considering doing a 2 wheel conversion on my 99 700 RMK. Here is what i was thinking:
1- Cut each end of the axle by the width of the bearing (about 7/16" on each end).
2- Cut the inner long axle spacer by the width of one of the wheel bearings.
3- Assemble leaving the adjusters and idler spacers on the outside of the rails, with 2 idler spacers, 2 wheels and a shortened axle spacer inside the rails. The axle seems to have enough thread depth to accept the original bolt, although if not i would get some bolts that are a 1/4" shorter.
Is it that simple?
Also, i know that some will argue that this will have no positive impact on the sidehilling, etc... but I would do this mostly because i think it looks cool! :face-icon-small-coo
