Has anyone been out on the snow with this kit yet? I'm assuming it will fit an '05 M7 141 with the front relocation kit?

Ive been riding it on my 05 since last year, it works great.

First good ride with mine this weekend...works good. Setup with back arm in upper hole, 135 lbs pressure, everything else the same, and I get just a little better transfer (just about right, now), and good control in the bumps, climbs up and stays on top good, too. I like it...now ranking as my 4th best mod to my M7 (first clutching, second snow elim. boards, third hacked fuel press. regulator).

any more reviews on the float conversion? Thinking it might be a good time to get one......

Feedback anyone???????
Now, not a real on topic question but I put some '09 rails on my brother's 2006 M7 skid using all the '06 components. Seems to work ok, only thing keeping me from buying the conversion kit is that I think I'll finally have to buy him a new front shock as well. It bolted right up with no issues, and the attack angle seems very consistent with what is was before. I did have to relocate the torsion spring mounts from where they were on the original rails.
So, drawing on the experience in this thread, is there a geometry issue I've created by using the '06 suspension with '09 rails without a longer front arm?
Will I have to buy a new front shock(Fox Zero Pro) if I get the conversion as I see it comes with a new front arm and I am already using '09 rails?

Did anyone find out how much weight you save from the 05 06 set up to the new fox float conversion setup? thanks

I know its an older thread, but does any one still have access to these conversion kits, so that I can avoid ordering one through the dealer? started looking into my suspension and realized that at ~3500 miles the suspension arms are bent..... Please PM asap if you can help out.

Putting updates on the original post is such an awesome idea. People with the same questions get the answer right away without sifting through countless posts. Thanks Stack! :face-icon-small-coo
float weight savings
I just purchased an 07 m8 and it appears to have the float rear skid and front shocks. I was wandering how much weight loss that is over stock. I was told when I got it as well it was the burandt suspension (valving?) anyone have any input on weight and difference with the burandt setup?
