Lots of threads on tethers. I went with cat tether, no problems, no issues, there a great install thread on here as well. Better than the crap directions that comes with tether. Location was a big screw up on my part. See attached photo. Finger pointing to a brutal location. I was steady knockinnit off in critical times
Took off my cat one. Had an issue on one sled and struggled to get reattached with gloves. Sifted thru a bunch of threads, just seeing if there was anything else out there.
The cat one is what I have. I have it on the flat area where the steering post comes up and it is very protected there.
I agree it is very difficult to get back on when new and rubber is sticky. I carefully rubbed a small bit of Vaseline on just the external flat portion of the rubber pull off plug. Solved the problem and it still holds very tight.
Ha gonna get roasted for this. I lick the rubber, slides on easy. Stays put now that I moved it
That works. Had to do that a few times before I did the Vaseline.
Sil-glide or dielectric silicone grease works well for this also. Usually I will re-apply it once or twice a season.
If you tie in a stock tether from a snopro race sled and drill a hole in the riser this is a very solid location and easy-to-use. I totally got rid of switches to do my own set-up like a race sled. But this type of tether is super inexpensive and very durable. Just throwing more ides out there. Sorry pic is upside down but you'll get where the location is on the riser.
Myself and many others use the pro armor tether and just splice it into the killswitch wires on the bars. I've yet to have issues with it.
thanks for the replys. Looks like a pro armor in my future.
The pro armor tethers are definitely a step up from the cat ones but they aren't without their flaws. Always carry a spare tether key I've broken 2 of them and make sure to spray the plunger down with silicone spray every once in a while. I've had it not kill the sled a few times when pulled.
