where to mount ice scratchers?

[MustangDoug]

Just recieved a set of SummitSeekers Over the top ice scratchers. I'm wondering where the best place to mount them is? I want to keep the front wheels. I have a 2005 900 RMK with 166" track. Pics if possible please. Or should I get rid of the front wheels and use those holes?

Depends on where you ride. If mostly POW in the mountains I would get rid of the front wheels. That is what I have done and it worked great. Amazing how much cooler the sled runs down the trail with those scratchers down.

Yah 90% pow, and 10% trail. I figured that maybe the front wheels were real important especially when the track is so long.

Keep the wheels if you want, I mounted mine right behind the wheels. Here's a picture through my boards when I was installing Better Boards.

X2 keep the wheels will save the fax. Mine are mounted just the same.

i would also keep a front wheel..i do as well..

here is a pic of my 900 with the scrathers mounted on the same shaft as the wheel..i just used a spacer to fit inside the wheel and some washers for spacing to keep the wheel from rubbing..

(a before and after )

but here is a SICK adapter by RSI that has ice scratcher shaft and idler wheel spacer in one..

Have you looked at ice scvratchers for the skis?

Ice scratchers are made to dangle under the foot well area.

I put mine in the same spot as those above, my hyfax are pretty much shot right where that rail stiffener is.... might have to add a set of wheels there.

I just pulled off the front wheels.... 2300 miles.. Quite a few of it on the trails and original hyfax's.
Just be liberal on running them.
900 loves them!

Done

Mounted them just like MORSNO did. I wanted to keep the front wheels. Thanks to all of you who responded.
