Thanks for the complimets everyone! It's dumping right now!!! WHOOHOOOOOOO!!!
Switchback that bottom one is WAY, WAY WICKED!!!!
Nice stuff for sure, I'm torn as to which skid I'm gonna do this summer, Holz, KMod or Timbersled. Timbersled's skid scares me a bit in the sense that there isn't much material there, therefore reducing impact abilities (jumps etc)?
BTW your sled reminds me of the Hitachi excavators at my job. ***gin' orange everywhere LOL.

Updated! Handling In Deep Powder & Trees!!!
All I can say is the more I ride w/ this front end the more I am impressed with it! We rode in 4-5 feet of fresh light powder to med weight powder that set up more towards the end of the day.
First off it is SO sensitive, but in a good way.
The BIGGEST thing I noticed in these conditions was, the aptitude for that "right now' response when pulling a line through tight trees. In the past in the stock configuration in these conditions it would take ALOT of throwing my body, hanging a leg way out, & so on, into a countersteer carve to avoid an obsticle while at WOT this sometimes was challenging in tight terrain & avoid getting stuck at the same time.
With the Bark Buster front end I found that while running the sled at WOT, a light countersteer & minimum lower body imput would put me into a tight turn imediatly, but in controlled manner, & gave me more time to continue assessing my line. Which eliminates hesitation & backing off the throttle to perform a manuvor, therefore eliminating loosing that track speed needed for the conditions .
I also got into some really tight stuff today with the BB. That before, with the stock front-end I would not atempt do in these particulare conditions, du to not being able to weave through them & keep my momentum up to avoid being stuck.
My husband & I also traded off sleds on the trail to compare our M1000's this time. His M1000 has a stock front end with a Mountain Tamer rear suspension. We both agreed that my M1000 with the combination of the Bark Buster Front-end & the Mountain Tamer rear made for a much plusher ride.
Again, I can't get over the responsiveness of my sled now, & am loving the very light feel it has overall!
As I discover new things I will keep you all posted!
