Barkbuster Frontend users???

Anyone running one on a M?? Does it steer easier than w/ the stock spindles and was it worth the $1400??

I put the mountain tamer rear skid in mine, I looked into the front end too, but It just wasnt worth the money to save only 2 lbs. even if you already have fox floats you still have to get the ones from timber sled because they are 2 inches shorter to work with the bark buster ft end. Hope this helps.

Now don't go thinking that I'm reccomending T-sled suspension, but there is NO WAY that front end only saves 2 lbs. Even a normal set of arms saves 3x that amount without swapping spindles & shocks.


I just looked, they save (advertized) 10 lbs. Where the F do you come up with 2???

btw, they're WEEEAK. buy some spares when you get the kit cause they take a while to get new ones to you. (the sides are interchangeable, so you could get one full side & have spares for either one when you bend them) I LOVE the idea of saving 10 lbs on the front, but for less than 1/3 the $$ you can get a set of a arms that will save you about 6 lbs & won't twist in 1/2 the first time you tap something under the snow. On the other hand if you just ride deep pow & don't jump & never hit anything with your skis, you're not going to lose this kind of weight in many other places!!!

I got a set on my Dragon ,,not for the weight but for the turning radius ,,cuz a dragon takes 2 meadows to do a U turn and with the new all terain spindles it does steer easier

The advertised 10 pound wieght savinigs is for a NON sno pro front end. if you aready have the floats there is not alot to gain for wieght savings

So then it's 5 or so at least? You don't lose 8 lbs from a set of floats. (it'd be nice though!!)
