Adjustable ski mount?

[swedenturbo]

Thinking of a new design of ski mount.
As you know, the TS design of ski mount is fixed with clamps bolted solidly to the forks and no ability to adjust.
What do you think about the option to adjust ski trailing? (don't now the correct english term but hopefully you understand my swenglish)

Currently riding with ski bolt more or less vertically to wheel axle. Don't know if that is best and haven't tested anyting else.
Has anyone of you tested different trailing?
What adjustable travel measured at ski bolt would you think would be desireable?

The UFO snowbike has an adjustable front ski mount. Might be worth looking into.

I found on a my R&D snowbike kit i built that if you let the ski bolt trail anymore then an inch behind the axle you end up with a setup which was TERRIBLE and wouldn't really turn at all, between vertical and or just a small trail yielded best results, going any farther forward and the front end just wanted to plow in corners and wash out.

Thanks Rush. Nice design!
I think we're in to something....
Has anyone info of the technical design or travel?
Unofurtenalely does'nt the vid show the design how the ski mount is adjustable nor travel...

tooo much tilt

when I built my sno bike I made a series of holes in the mount body so the clamps could be moved so I could find the sweet spot. Have to say the mtn horse kit is right where I ended up. When I tried kicking the ski out, wow really hard to steer and control on hard pack. Pull ski mount back under bike and it wants to wash and slide out on hard pack. Deep soft snow not as noticeable.

That being said, I have noticed that some of the older 450 4 stoke endure bikes have more fork rake than the mx bikes and I think some small adjustments in the trail on the ski mound would be beneficial.
