Is that pretty much the same as the HCR fixed post?
Almost....I have used both and now use the HCR fixed post, way more stable and tightens everything up, the HCR fixed riser is tighter than aftermarket as well, just my 2 cents, for about the same money you can have a better post without cutting your sled, the next guy might want a telescopic post
Dave, with the HCR fixed post does it allow you to pivot the bars forward some without messing up the steering swing too bad? I really liked where the "Kincaid Bar Forward" Rox risers felt like, just don't like the ball buster of a steering post and the slop associated with the adjustable post.
Those are the main reasons I was looking at the C3 post forward kit.
I do like this set up.
I don't know why you guys are calling it a ball buster...has anybody really ever hit their balls on this set up...I doubt it!....its not a bmx bike

Depends on height maybe? I'm 6'4" and it is right at ball level. With the stock setup your legs and everything kind of would hit at the same time, but with the rox risers on there the post is what you will hit first right between your legs.
I've never had an engine in my pickup blow but I still change the oil in it......
Better to take precautions before something bad happens. To each his own. I ran this setup and liked it waay better over stock just looking to do something better on my new sled.

note elevation of bars compared to the ballsackal region of the anatomy of this gentleman...
Btw, no cutting of sled is needed to do a better post setup... the sled is MADE with the better setup ready to go... all you have to do is throw away a few heavy sloppy parts, and put on one cheap solid light part. (oh yeah, you do also need a riser of whatever sort you prefer) The whole job will cost $150ish & the difference is HUGE.
It's not hard, it's not spensiv, and it works sooooo much better-er.
I've ridden two sleds with the jacked up pivoted forward riser way of getting the bars forward, one with the normal "laydown" steering (which is already an improvement in position, BUT has kinda "doo" steering (moreso than a current doo) and one with post forward... and REAL post forward is a big improvement, you just can't understand till you try it.
Another thing that isn't really talked about, is the position change when you do a post forward, it puts you more forward & kives you more control over the skis... BUT it also keeps the front end down a little more. Oddly enough, this is the part of it I DON'T like... I like my sled to be biased toward standing up easily... kinda like riding a trials bike, I want the front end to come up & be very controllable with a nice balance point. For most folks though I'm guessing that they prefer to keep the front end down, which this helps you do.
This is how I like to ride a sled...
If you look at my foot position, before post forward I was using the back of the boards each time I stood the sled up... now I'm using about 6-8" forward, I found that interesting since it's consistently the case. it only moves the post 2" forward but at the bar it's more like 2.75... but for some reason I'm moved further up than that. (yeah... I'm short...)
YES, its does allow you to angle it forward, as little or as much as you want
and it will pivot if you hit it
X2 - 6'4" also and I guarantee you, at our height, your nuts will take the brunt of the blow. I really liked the rox riser setup but not at the expense of the boys. Have everything to put the post forward kit on, will tackle that this summer.
I will be seeing Rob Kincaid and Dave McClure again at Hay Days this year
I will be sure to ask them....my guess is probably not
...sounds like more fake drama on SW

Can u get further ahead with the c3. Or is there a point where it gets 2 far?
Some of us ride hard enough that we crash at times. (and SOME of us ride hard enough to crash ALL the time
)If hitting the bars is something that seems "fake" to you... I suggest you try harder.
But do ask the guys that get paid to ride this setup... you're sure to get a COMPLETELY unbiased answer.
Btw, I hit the bars a couple times a month, and I've hit them hard enough to bend them a stack of times in the last few years. Most of the time you're further back so the rotation of you eating bars actually puts them into the chest or neck area, or at times the face... does this make that nasty metal bump being the closest thing to you better in some way, since it's not actually your nuts? Broken ribs are fun, right?
Make sure to report back to us...

Is the C3 less stressful on steering parts ? Or all the same..
Is it more easy to do with the BDX hood?
I'd say the same - just loose the sloppy adjustable post. The steering shaft is already there, just need to change it out to a standard (vert) post with the T-top and add the C3 3 or 2 inch 'block'.
Yes.
If using stock hood and intake a 'channel' has to be cut into the upper plenum. I've heard guys just using metal tape, sheet metal, and/or rubber to seal up the plenum; bascially creating a channel for the post to clear.
If I do a clean job, I'll post pictures once I've done mine. Plain to keep stock intake. Will not be anytime soon. If it ends up looking like a hack job, for my eyes only.
