Anyone turned their rails up?

Teth-Air · Aug 1, 2008

Has anyone done a rail turn-up mod on an XP? I would like to get the back 8-12" off the ground to make my 154 feel like a short track on the flat ground. I hear it is simple to take apart and put in a press to get the desired bend. I assume aluminum supports over the bend area for strength?

Anybody got a kit for this?

well thats a first of someone wanting to add a bend to them I have straightened alot of older polaris's, if you want I can give them a slight tip up and make a reinforcements if you like.

Doo has kicked their rails up for the last couple of years - just look for the little kink in one of the lightening holes in summit Xp rails.

My 05 has tip up rails.. I thought they were bent from a bad landing first, LOL

same here, when i was swapping my track i could have sworn i hard landed a jump bad, but it was way to symetrical.

the bend just isnt that big so you might not notice it, my rev 144 and rt 162 both have tips a few inches behind where the rear suspension arm bolts into the rails.

Thanks guys, I've decided to try Smitty's inside wheel kit first and if thats not enough, I will tweak the rails and go for taller wider handle bars.
