Yep the polaris gripper ski will fit, I used the Polaris bolt and Polaris rubber bumper.
On the bottom of the yamaha spindle the is a "casting rib" sand that smooth and they will go right on.
Nice ski for the viper.

i just used the viper rubber & bolt,just have to trim some of the little rubber nipples off the bottom.

My bolt was too short. I didn't want to cut up the rubber or the skis so if I didn't like them I could switch back.
The Polaris rubber bumper is only 6 or 7 bucks.

Here are some pics from when I mounted mine. I used the stock rubber pads and cut off some of the "knubs".
The shims where made out of a composite material that I had laying around. I used shims to tighten up the ski so that they have approximately the shame amount of tension as the stock ski. Also so that the skies hang slightly tips up when the sled is in the air (same as the stock skies).

Thanks for answering my question.
How does gripper skis feel compares to AC skis?
I think AC skis is a kind of joke on a mountain sled.


Hope you understand my horrible english.

I only rode the sled a couple of times with the stock skies. I had Grippers on my Nytro and liked how they worked on that sled.
The Grippers are not as aggressive as the stock ski. However they do have good floatation due to the wider width and seem to be a good overall general purpose ski for mountain riding.
