16" Track on a 07 M1000?

[KSH]

Anyone running a 16" track on a 07 M1000?

Any issues to watch for?

If you use a 156" on a 153" skid, will larger wheels take up the slack?

I don't think it'll fit in the tunnel, will it?

There isnt room in the tunnel to run a 16" wide. The 15" is tight as it is!

I run a 156" Extreme on my 153" skid. I had to do a MM Freedom axle to take up the slack. I also did WPS 9" plastic wheels for kicks.

My tape measure says it will fit, but would probably always rub.

won't clear the dd, you can measure the tunnel but look by the drivers.

Suuuure he does! And I got a buddy that has a 15" wide in a supercharged F7.

A 16" wide track dont fit in a 15.75" wide tunnel bud!

Hey numbnuts my buddy has a 2008 Arctic Cat M8 Turbo with a 162X16X2.5. If you would care to wager place your bets now.

I only know of 1 person that got a 16"er in a m chassis, and it is a custom carbonfibre chassis and was a serious pain in the a$$ to build. not worth the effort!!

how did your buddy get it to fit?

 

[m1000snowman]

spread that SOB and it will work

The sooner you guys stop doubting what I have to say the better off you will be. And we laughed and we laughed.

great lookin M

And heres a little something to make you guys sqeal until next season. A D8 with a 162X16X2.5.

Any pictures? I really would like to try an M series with the 16" wide, best part is, you don't like the 16", you know the 15" will fit at least. I would like to know more what is involved.

If it was just a DD lite and new tunnel it'd almost be worth it, but if it's bulkhead work I think I can do without. Just would be nice to see how the 16" wide changes the M chassis feel and the deep snow mobility on take off.

The cat riders will tell you they are better than a 16 wide and live by them.. Till cat builds a sled that takes a 16, then they are all going to switch to em. Bandwagon is coming guys, prepare too jump on! You guys are too hard on LHF, hes just keepin us entertained..
