Weight Bias

[Hooterville]

I put together a home built kit this spring and am in the process of fine tuning it.
I am using a snowmobile skid and was hoping that someone who has a mountain horse could sneak the bathroom scale out to their shop and get some weights. One directly under the ski and one under the track.

It would be helpful to have these numbers to calculate the weight bias, front and back. Changing the length of the strut that connects top bike shock mount to the skid will change these number dramatically and when we are fabing these creations up it would be helpful to keeps the bias in mind when positioning the various components.

The more weight you can get on the track the better. Within reason

I got the MC version of the MH because it is 1" closer to the the bike and has more ski lift than the regular MH as well as the adjustable third shock will allow me to adjust ski lift. The 2012 MH has changes to give it more weight transfer to the track as well.
