I'm thinking Gen three's too, but....

The but is, That leading edge to the wear rod wears down and the carbide catches on everything. I didn't know what was causing my A-arms to bend. It was those carbides catching on my trailer edge.

Best choice-

and :moony:they dont snag the trailer if you drive straight- hell they all snag then but no drinking and driving eh?

Then why'd they put the bar 18'' from my face.

I could be tempted to get Sly Dogs. Those double carbides are too stiff on the Simmons. They sure are sweet on a trail though.
I'd keep the factory skis except they tip up and plow in poor snow conditions when you go to carve a turn. Stops you so fast it might thow you off. Or is it just this old man.

I did the slydogs after my fist ride with the stock one's, that first ride was a learning exp, after that fist ride i thought i made a big mistake, i put the slydogs on and that made a hole new machine other than i wish it was 75 pounds lighter yet.

Great video-
Looks like the mighty 1100 has no issues in the back country when the snow piles up!- makes a good point of having light skis---
So is the BOV always something you can get used to open and closing and making a racket?:rockon:

Some might say that's the best part lol. The factory one kinda sounds like grampa has fallen asleep in the rocking chair after supper. Professional grade valves don't sound that bad.

i like the sound myself. but the reason its so loud is because it blows off into the intake and it echos out of the intake.this type is common on cars with stock turbos to keep the blown off vapors in the intake instead of under the hood.

You get used to it. Just like the brake on the Edge chasis, it makes some noise when you hit it.

That and when you are on and off the throttle like that you are usually too interested in riding to pay attention to the noise the sled is making.

I ended up getting sly dog 8" with 4" rod for 325 could not find any Simmons out there

cattracks · Sep 12, 2012

ordered 8 inch slydogs.

I had the 7 inch Slydogs and loved them. They needed to have a deeper keel and stiffer tip.
Yep thats what they changed on the 8 inch ones. Looking forward to them.

Put Gen3's on after a few rides on the stock skis, really nice improvement. The stock skis are not really suited for the 1100's.

slydogs are a very nice ski and flex along ways and come back to normal the worst part about them is the ski loops have notches in them and are hard on the hands

That is the old style
they did away with the notches about 2 years ago- you can order the loops separtly to update you older hoops
