Yup. I'm really liking mine. 2 inch riser. sled handles way better and is way more predictable now.

What is the cost of that setup?
Here is a little update for the guys who dont want to mod their airbox and change out the front spar. The 1100 turbo mountain sled uses a vertical steering post, but is also mounted about 3" forward from the telescoping post. I found a used 4 stroke vertical set up on Ebay and figured I would give it a try. The post position is way better than the stock position. I have a few rides on this set up and I really like it. Doesnt take much to get used to since its still steering vertically instead of horizontal. It requires no modification except for a few spots on the cowl to clear the tripod set up. You can also still use the arctic cat goggle bag. Didn't actually weigh it, but I would have to guess its about the same maybe even less than the telescoping post because you are using a lot less parts. I see arctic cat sells a whole kit with a riser and everything you need for $249. I will be getting some more time on this set up this week, but so far I really like it and would definitely recommend trying it for those guys looking to move the post forward. The only downfall is your recoil handle will have to be pulled from the side, since one of the tripod legs bolts up right behind the recoil, not a big deal IMO.
Here is a link to the kit.

Here is a picture of the difference in steering location.

Can the handle be pulled from either side of the rear support post or are you stuck to one side?
A picture of how the handle goes around the support would be great if you have any.
Thanks.

How'd this change the steering or handling of the sled?
I have it on my 2012 M1100T and I like it better than the lay down steering it came with.
I was wondering how far it moved the handle bars forward from the verticle handle bar location?
I wish cat would have found a way to move the vertical steering post a couple inches forward on the 2 stroke sleds.
