Im in! group order?
We are currently working with IceAge to possible get them produced a little easier and in decent quantity so we can keep them affordable but also manage demand.
Thanks for your patience.

Intersted in buying a set of the uppers. pm'd jskattum606 a few times with no reply. Are you guys selling these bad boys?
B
I've got my panties in a bunch too but they posted 2 days ago that they were working on getting them produced in a large quantity to get prices down. Sounds like they will be available before December. All this early season snow in various places is making us impatient!

My son and I just installed a set on his xp looking forward to trying them out.

Sorry guys. Ive been super busy with work this summer so I can take most of the winter off. We should be moving into the shop end of this coming week. So if the ice age deal falls through. Ill get some built and sent off. Thanks for all of the interest!
Also something for you guys to do in the mean time is get some polaris grippers for those xp's. They make a huge difference along with these a arms

Hey Guys,
Just getting my head around this as I have seen a couple different approaches to this xp "issue". Am I understanding this correctly essentially what these upper a arms are doing is standing the spindle up straighter, changing the caster angle? It looks as though it was a fairly significant angle change.
Based on our past custom motorcycle building, what you have done makes sense to make the sled handle "looser" as you stand the spindle up straighter it will give you less "trail" and make the skis respond quicker.
Am I understanding that correctly.
I find the SPI solution with their a arm kit interesting, by moving the skis ahead 3 inches and standing the spindle up straighter. I understand what they are trying to do, make it more stable for side hilling but they are effectively lengthening the "wheelbase" of the sled, which in my mind would make the sled less responsive in tight turning and trees, however would make it more stable in side hill.
Interested in your thoughts?
J
Those are my thoughts exactly! I dont understand skins moving everything forward. Thats one reason the xp handles worse than the rev. It is stretched out another 6-8 inches. makes the front feel heavy.
Sorry for the delay on these guys. will be moving into the new shop for sure at the end of next week. Im stoked!

Yes exactly! Stretching it out may make it more stable, but it is already to "stable" IMO.
By standing the spindle up straighter with your A arm design, it will make the sled more responsive by changing the angle of the spindle.
Great idea and best of luck with your sales!
My god that welding looks Horrible.

Im still interested in set, are these ready yet. Thanks

Its unfortunate that they are having trouble getting this idea off the ground. I made a set and it seriously saved me 10k on an xm.

How do these arms work, are they tilting the spindle upwards a little making the spindle stand more straight up?
