i just converted my 144 to a 151. had the whole hartman kit in it. ripped her out and went longer. now it is an rx-1 mountain rear. originaly a 121" stock. bought used stock 151 skid from Aaron on this site. total cost, track and all, $900. camo 1.25. now many people would say that i was crazy for instaling a stock 151" on my sled, but i did this because i tried an rx-1 mountain last season on some of the worst trails you can imagine. it rides much better, period! i dont care what magazines say or anyone who believes otherwise. in my book ride is more important than anything else. 151" very recomended by this big tall bastard!

I just installed a Hartman tunnel ext, Went to a 136.great product! all looks stock. My only question is, I went to dealer and bought new 136" hyfax, it is about two and a half inches short of the rail extensions. They run to the center of the wheel shaft. Will the track catch this when in reverse?Are there others that have run into this problem? THANKS!! Honk

In future, just buy longer sliders - like from a mtviper (144") or mtrx1(151") and cut them down. Aftermarket rail extensions usually don't extend sliders and end 7.5" back from the wheels - still seem to work in reverse. Cut an angle on the back of the slider for the track clips to ride up and don't worry about it.

Its some kind of DOO slide. I don't know what model. Still lots of slide left before I need to change them.
