Deal me in! For sure!

Now the question is, do I upgrade the drivers to 2.86" as well?

If I do, then I need to upgrade to a new track as well.

This is a killer deal but, to make it even better, Timbersled could offer to throw in the adjustable flex shaft for the rear suspension with the bearing upgrade kit for an additional $50..........

Mine kit is on order, along with the front flex arm. My 2012 will be ready for another season.

updating drivers and track for the 12 kit is well worth it. the old track sucks !

the old track might suck now but it did not in the day

I ride with stock '11 kits that go everywhere we all do with new kits. Ride skills are important.

Honestly, I don't have a lot to compare it to but, I am fairly impressed with the 136 x 2" Challenger on the bike. It measures 2 1/8" tall and it seems to really hook up well.

I guess I could go to new drivers and track but, then there's another several hundred bucks into the 2012 skid. I will price a new track and drivers to check out the option.

How long are the double row bearings lasting? Who has worn this out? I will probably update both my kits, but I'd like to know when to swap bearings rather than walk out after one fails.

Thanks for the info!

When are these kits going to become available?

When are these kits going to become available?

Their site says Oct. 31st.

I doubt anyone knows how long they will last yet, as they aren't in the hands of the general public yet. Hopefully it's "year's" not a season.

I'd be thrilled to get a full season out of a set of bearings.

Changes over the years

I can't find this info anywhere. What changes/upgrade were made each model year, 2011-2015. I'm looking to get a mh track, want to start used, but if the upgrades are significant.....

Thanks.

Has anyone installed the upgrade kit yet? I have the boxes in my shop and ready to go but, I wondered if anyone might already installed the new bearings and have a few installation tips?
