Timbersled Contact in ID?

[DOM]

Does anyone have a phone number for the Timbersled folks in ID? I ran into an issue installing my double bearing upgrade kit and the phone number at the top of the instructions seems to be shut down. When you call Polaris, they won't give you anything and want you to work it through the dealer channel which here in the midwest isn't the fastest route as they don't see too many bikes.

Short version of the story is one of the aluminium double bearing blocks stripped out before reaching the specified torque of 35 ft lbs and I am not real excited about buying a new bearing block assembly for $80 when all I need is the block itself.

Thanks

Here you go

There are several good Northwest dealers, those I've used that are super-responsive and carry quite a bit of TS inventory include:

Racin' Station (ID): 208-354-2777
Gage Brothers (WA): 509-336-9374

Good luck.

You could also heli coil it for a spare.
And just buy a whole new block.

Thanks guys.

I spoke with the folks at the Racin Station and I'm going to just order one. Unfortunately with the threads so tight to the portion where the bearings sit, I don't know that alternative methods such as a helicoil, drilling/tapping it up one size, or drilling through / using a through bolt will likely work real well. Needless to say, I wont' be following the specified 35ft lbs this time around.

Thanks Racin' Station!
