I first have to say you come off as quite a know it all, you can't have many friends. First off I only got the spindles because I wanted black ones so for the price why not try out the new expert package. I took pictures because when you are physically looking at the two there seem to be differences . I'm not an engineer i dont really give two ****s on the geometry i liked the way my sled handled. I'm not gonna bend over backwards and take measurements. So here is what i did for you Mr Caper. I personally emailed someone who works with skidoo and asked the question so that everyone on this forum could go to sleep knowing the truth. Short story if someone wants to change the handling of there sled just go buy a set of the new rubber bushings.
You called Norona a salesman, and me a “know it all”.
Is that the person you are? Do you call everyone names that you dont agree with?
So far the info you have provided thus far, has not helped this thread at all, but just stirred up controversy.
If you infact sent a email, You are not doing it for me. It does not matter to me if the spindle was different in geometry or not. Guys were asking questions and I tried to explain what my thoughts were on the vids that were provided, but no info provided from the guy who actually had a set of spindles in his hands.
Got labeled as a “know it all” in the process.
Disappointing really, If the roles were reversed. I would have bent over backwards to help a fellow member with their questions If i had a new spindle and a old spindle on hand.
Have a safe sledding season.
Fyi, I have a 2019 “expert” in my garage. We have been doing those mods to the G4 since they were released. Some guys did the short tunnel, Most stayed with the standard length tunnel.
