Dan-Senior Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 xTra 10 3" lift kit on the back of skid. Re-drilled the front tunnel holes 2 1/2" down for front of skid mountings, then cranked up front springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mextra Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hey Dan : Isn't there too much ski pressure with the back jacked up like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Senior Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hi Mextra, I lowered the front of the skid as well (by 2 1/2"), by drilling new holes. This closely matches the back of the skid change of which is 3". A bit more pressure on the skis, but still a decent bite into the corners and coincidentally, a much better ride, even though the xTrax 10 rear travel has not changed. I am now in the works of doing the same modification to my XC 440 and XC 700. Burton Welding and Machining made me the brackets including bushings for $50.

Dan-Senior Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 My colleague from work was heading for a sled ride and some ice fishing this afternoon north of the Sault. Looks like he should be in good shape for some spring riding. Still close to 3' of snow north of Sault, in the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks for the uplifting news. Always great to hear that folks are riding at the end of April. I have a feeling that many of us will retire to 'real' snowmobile country Something else in your area this week --- Sault Ste. Marie plays the Erie Otters in the OHL Western Conference Finals. What's interesting is: i) SAULT STE MARIE IS IN THE EASTERN FINALS! (no surprise, since they won the division): ii) the competition, ERIE, has consensus #1 NHL draft pick Connor McDavid and OHL's leading scorer, Dylan Strome. It'll be great hockey - wish we could watch it at the arena. The Schedule: Game 1, Thurs., April 23 Erie at Sault Ste. Marie, 7:07Game 2, Fri., April 24 Erie at Sault Ste. Marie, 7:07Game 3, Sun., April 26 Sault Ste. Marie at Erie, 7:00Game 4, Tues., April 28 Sault Ste. Marie at Erie, 7:00Game 5, Thurs., April 30 Erie at Sault Ste. Marie, 7:07*Game 6, Sat., May 2 Sault Ste. Marie at Erie, 7:00*Game 7, Mon., May 4 Erie at Sault Ste. Marie, 7:07* Go Greyhounds!

Canuck Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I look forward to seeing tonight's game on TV. The background story on McDavid going to Edmonton is bizzare. McDavid is close to Erie Otters owner Bassin. Bassin allegedly borrowed money from Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz (otherwise known as "give me a subsidized stadium or I'll move the Oilers to Seattle" Katz). Edmonton Oilers have basically sued Erie Otters. McDavid has played for Erie during this lawsuit and likely heard choice words about Katz. Young kid, impressionable. Now Katz will be his 'boss' in Edmonton (or Seattle, which today announced a 'model' for new stadium). The NHL is not happy with Katz (see Seattle b.s. above). The NHL is not happy about McDavid being drafted by Edmonton. Good kid. But somehow this is turning into Gretzky-Pocklington-Skalbania (??? say the youngsters ) http://www.torontosun.com/2014/11/13/edmonton-oilers-sue-erie-otters-owner-for-45-million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not a nice loud. Gonna be real interesting to see if the Hounds can win the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
