Narrow Ski stance

[titaniumbadger]

I realize that this was posted a couple weeks ago, but not enough of you lazy bastards posted, so I'll ask it again. I moved my skiis to the narrow position on my 07 M8 162" after last season and I'm also putting the 2 wheel kit on soon. So what can I expect with this setup? Has anyone done this and thought it was too squirrelly and gone back to the mid position? I also am just running the stock skiis.

I wouldn't ride it that way. It will tip over just looking at it.

(Which I kinda like.)

wide

I like it wide, and still lays right over with 2-wheel kit JMO...

Ski stance

I have a 07 m8 with two wheel kit and my skiis are in the narrow position. I am running gen 1 simmons. This setup works for me!!

Narrow is the only way to have it. Effortless to flip over.

I run mine wide back here in MN for trail riding and ditch riding. I narrow it when I take it to the mountains for boondocking in the trees. My 09 only came with 2 wheels.

I'm full narrow and two wheel kitted. Works good.

Makes a noticeable difference.

Thanks for all the replys (Even you ripsass, made me laugh). Looks like this setup should work fine, now if it would only snow some more.

Why ride a fat chick? I agree. Narrow and simmons.

i got my sled with the skis set in and then put a two wheel on it i can lay it over with my MIND

I'm tempted to try widening my stance from the narrow setting. I dunno if it's the HCR's wide stance or the skis, but I'd like to get the better handling of them things. Found I could almost roll the HCR over just as easy my "traditional" m8 in the powder despite the 3 inch or whatever it is difference in stance, but the hcr handles way better in hard pack (or nasty soft-then-hard-then-soft conditions.) Got some tuning to do there.

Narrawh 's good

after going through a 15 year morph to wide wide wide front ends, it was refreshing to buy the M7 with only a wide front end after my firecats.

But one day after helping a neighbor tune a little on an old 86 long track phazer I went home and made narrow a arms for my M7............ohhhhh way good if you can ride, if you ride a dirt bike and like sleds, its the only way to go. Pain in the but to make that mod making a arms. On my M8 I went cheesey and made narrow ski mounts for my slp skiis, narrow er, not quite snow hawk like but headed the right way.
