P-85 billet spider

Anyone seen these or had any experience with them? Looks like a nice piece. Can actually grease the needle bearing rollers. Supposedly Carls has been using them.

Look sexy!

Looks like a nice piece! What's the price like? I blew out a roller on my clutch, which I got fixed recently, but I was told I'll probably only get a few hundred miles out of it before it goes again. It'd be nice if this was a cheaper option than buying a whole new clutch, or if it held up better than the standard spider. I'd love to know more about it; I can't find any information on it searching the interwebs...

There’s a phone number

From what I can find is $400. More than I was hoping it would be. The pics are from Carls Cycle.

Could be worse; it's still $300 less than a whole new clutch. If the rollers and buttons hold out better than the stock clutch, it seems it'd be worth the price.

Are the buttons a bigger diameter ? If so the buttons should last longer. Assuming the button material is as good or better than stock.

There is a bunch of info and how to grease the needle bearings on there IG . They are for sure a nice piece . May have to try one in my next clutch rebuild .

That's really slick looking. Biggest complaint of the p85 has alwayd been rollers/bushings don't seem to last very long at all.

Just put one on my boost. May be what I do when it inevitably needs rebuilding at 400 miles.

All right, anybody running one of these? I blew another roller recently - I got a few rides into the second season after having the first roller that went replaced. Looks like I got about what I was told to expect. I was also told pressing the pins in and out chews up the aluminum on the spider. So even if you can do it yourself, after fixing a blown roller a time or two, your money is better spent on a new clutch. The thing is, other than the roller situation, the clutch looks good. If I can rebuild what I've got for the same or less than a new one and end up with something that'll hold up better than a new one... There is one other option I stumbled across recently: Indy Specialty has a billet spider kit, and it's only $230. https://www.indyspecialty.com/product-page/polaris-p-85-billet-spyder I'd think that would also fix the problem. The Sno Spider looks a lot beefier though.

I just buy new clutches for $600 and sell the ones with 500-700 miles for $300.

My spare 800 axys sled always rips.

No maintenance, no rebuilding, no hassles.
