Air Frames

[dooradical]

Anybody have some air frames installed that I could come see?

I sold the sled last fall but here are some close ups of the air frames on a 08 xp. One of the best mods you can do.

Yeah, I love the look. I am interested in seeing them in person before I drop $400 on some. Yours looked good! Thanks.

They made the tunnel stronger and there was no snow build up.
I would get an order now if someone has them in stock. Come October they are sometimes sold out and $400 is a good price.

Thanks. I had WRP's and really liked them on my last sled, but I think air frames look cooler. I really want to feel how much traction the screws give. Did you ever feel like there wasn't enough traction?

No heck I used 1/3 of the spikes they said to put in and never had a problem.

Wow those look sweet. They are cheaper too. It doesn't look like they go up into the foot well very far though.

Originally we wanted to go all the way to the front of the footwell but, with the steel plates that protect the chaincase and brake rotor that you don't want to cut out being in the way. It becomes a ton of work especially with the ski-doo rivets for pretty small gain. Plus you wont be ramming snow into the footwell like you do when clearing the stock boards.

Thank you,

Point well taken. Thank you. I still want to see some in person though.

Well I decided to go with some billet aluminium inserts. They look good and are wide open so the snow should fall right through. I got a good deal from KaN Power Sports in Ogden, so they were a fraction of the cost of airframes. They are more like what Polaris did on the 2013 pro. Should be nice.
