anybody running ski mounted ice scratchers?

[06RTXRider]

I've been considering getting a set of ice scratchers and most of the one's i see mount on the slide rails but it would seem these would fail to lube the fron t of the rails where most of the wear occurs.

Does anyone make the ski mounted ones anymore? Do the rail mounted scratchers lube the front rails sufficiently? Any feed back would be appreciated

They are available from Hartman Inc. I use them when lake running late in ther season when the snow is gone or turned to ice and they work great.

i rode with a friend that installed these on a rage, last weekend he was running up around 180 on the temp gauge, put them down and drop the temp to around 160, my nytro would was running hot all day, he sold me on them so i ordered a set

i wonder how they work iof you back up? looks like they would dig into the ground and bend them.

Have to put them up to backup, but i think that goes for any scratcher

how do they hold up to reverse , i would guess they are junk the first time you forget to pick them up

Ive been ruing the ski mounted scratcher for 2 seasons. they seem to work fine I make my own version of the Hartman scratcher and with that type if you back up on snow they will roll around if you do it on ice they will break

The disadvantage is when not in use 90% of the time you still have to look at these. Where the rails mounted one you don't see them when not in use.

decisions, decisions...
