My 2015 tuners with 4.5 shapers inside and outside track fantastic with no darting. They do push a little in corners still

I was thinking of putting the shaper bars on, hoping this will solve the push in the corners. Did they improve the push?

What's wrong with the stock 2014 yamaha/cat ski with duece or Bergstrom tripples???
Tried them for about 2000 miles last year with multiple carbide set-ups and could not get them to turn to my liking at all. Would push, push, push, then grab and lift the inside ski, very annoying. Really surprised me since they worked so well on the Nytro. Back to the stockers with doolys now.
I think if you are a leisurely rider and stay on relatively firm snow the Tuners with Shaper bars will perform relatively well with very minimal steering effort or darting. If the snow gets loose or you ride aggressively they will tend to push excessively.
At the recommendation of others I purchased a set of Curves and will be running Shapers on them, but I plan to hold off on installing until conditions improve.
I'm going to run my Tuners a bit more due to low snow conditions. We haven't opened trails here yet and there are a lot of farm fields to cross. Some of these fields were plowed up in fall so I expect rough conditions especially since the groomers haven't been out to try to pack the little snow that we have into a base.
