The AirFrame Boards and the AirFrame Seat make a HUGE DIFFERENCE on the sled.!!
Those were excellent mods last summer.

Skinz Concept front suspension/BLACK project
- Thread starter scmurs
- Start date
Well, the first 10 sets were shipped to OFT in the last couple days... They are probably just checking them into inventory now.
I wonder how many of them are spoken for? OFT???
I have a local guy that wants me to build up his Nitro early this year. (last year, last minute ordering on his Apex just did not cut it!!)

The first ten are all spoken for and quite a few more. We are shipping to customers based on the order that the orders came in.
The next round of kits looks like it will be next week.
If any of you have not gotten your OEM Float 2's in to us to upgrade to the spherical bearings, please get them in so the orders do not get delayed.

Scott,
Are you actually machining the caps/bodies for the bearings or adding new caps and bodies?

We've got a really kick-a$$ dremel tool. Only screw up every other one
Seriously though, we bore the ends, machine the retaining ring grooves and then install the bearings and spacers for the shock mount points.
Thanks K.W. I'll keep an eye out for them.
Hey.
That looks just like one of my shocks that I sent to you.

awesome videos. that black looks like it is gonna work awesome!
There's been a little confusion on how to determine if your shocks already have spherical bearings installed in them. As a general rule, any OEM supplied Float or Float 2 does not have them. If the shocks were purchased from an aftermarket supplier, they will generally have the bearings already installed.
You will be able to tell about the bearings by looking at the side of the shock, this can be done with the shock still mounted on the snowmobile.
The shock on the right has metal spacers which means that it has spherical bearings.
The shock on the left has larger plastic bushings which means it does NOT have spherical bearings and will need to be upgraded.
Also keep in mind that the SPG Concept front end is designed to use 17.5" center to center length shocks. Some aftermarket shocks ( i.e. Timbersled Barkbuster ) may only be 16.5"
