I thought I heard rumor that the Pro-RMK will be about $1000.00 cheaper than the 2010 and 2009's. That would be cool. I am really up in the air about that engine. Seems they are changing it big AGAIN, and are de-tuning it. While everyone is going up in tuning Polaris is de-tuning a engine that couldn't put out the numbers they where saying from the get go (2008).
As far as jumping goes (I own U) if you make a mountain IQR by using the consumer RMK suspension you are going to be just as weak as the consumer sleds. Yes the bulkhead is stronger and the tunnel is. But when it comes to jumping the mountain skids can't handle it. Thats why the stock IQR skid wieghs about 80lbs (121) and a RMK 144" weighs about 40lbs. I know you are putting your 121" back in I own U, but the topic of the thread was building a mountain IQR.
I only use ez-rydes on my sleds and fox shocks. I have had no problem doing an 80ft. whip/30 foot drop repeatedly. I have hit that jump at least 50 times with my IQR and RMK and the IQR (long or short) just flys better... Don't get me wrong, the RMK flys pretty good but the IQR just is a much better platform to start out from.
That is IF you can do it right. When i did my IQR long track i didn't have the know how to do it right nor the coin so it got cobbled and i had alot of problems with it. If i could do it all over again, i would start now and work SLOWLY all summer. For the type of riding i do i HAVE to have a reliable sled and i find that polaris puts **** back together better than i do.... Because at the end of the day i am NOT a mechanic, i am a rider.
