Post Forward kit on G5 Turbo

[gravelpete]

Foe those that have done the post forward mod have you noticed a significant improvement? I'm on the fence wether I should do this or not. It doesn't seem to be that popular. Just trying to make the decision. Thanks

I have done it on my last two sleds and like it.

I just finished installing the post forward kit. The kit was straight forward to install. I decided to install a 3.75'' riser and man does it feel comfortable. Sled is a 23 expert turbo. I'm 6' 1'' for reference.

Man sure does seem like the skis don’t reach full lock right and left very well, not even close to the spindle stop. Any remedy’s to get a tighter turn radius ?

I guess you could slightly trim the stops on the steering post

Found my problem, the grip and rip front nun brace doesn’t allow the steering post stops to hit the factory location, it hits the grip n rip brace. Had to notch out the brace to allow it to work properly.

does the post forward kit require any cutting of plastic on the gen 5 turbos?

Just a little bit of cutting, but no airbox modification. You just need to cut the plastic piece that slides off by the cluster.

It does make a difference, but it’s definitely not worth the money

I would agree. I didnt notice that much of a difference. I got a used one for half the price so thats why i decided to try it out. I think deleting the tmotion on my turbo x was more of a difference for the better.

Hello!
I am fitting a Skinz post forward kit to my Summit G5 and there is a lot of play in the top mount.
How have you guys solved this?
You can see in the picture that there is a gap in the bushing and this causes the steering post to play 2-3 mm

Mine was the same way……. You have to take the top piece off and put it on a grinding wheel. Just do a little at a time and then keep trying it until you remove all the slop.

What I meant by the top piece is…….. the smaller piece that the bolts go through.

you might have to grind down the bolts a little bit too…..meaning, the bolts might be too long after grinding down the slop portion. If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to message me.
