Anyone remove the coupling blocks?

[TRUTH]

Hey guys,
Has anyone removed the coupling blocks? Did it cause any issues with contact on the idler or axle? Thanks, Frank R.

I added bigger ones......... Once again, different riding areas, conditions and styles.

It is not for my machine, it is for a friends. We ride deep snow, ditch/freeride exclusively and more weight transfer would be his preferance. Thanks, Frank.

I don't remember how much material was left, but cut it down, or make your own, just smaller. It's a pretty easy concept of just stopping the rear arm, but i'd be afraid to take it totally out.

i did and put them back in the suspension is already lame you think it will hold up????????

I wonder what would happen if the aluminum arms at rear were indexed to different positions?

Arms? I had Arctic Cat blocks in mine. It made a big difference in getting on the gas in corners!

These.It would change everything including position of link in the coupler blocks and hieght of rear suspension.May try some experimenting.Would like it low and in middle of couplers.

By coupling blocks do you mean the weight transfer blocks at the rear of the skid?

If so, yeah I have been running without them all winter with no ill effects so far.

Gives you crazy holeshot and the ability to put the skis up anytime you want.

Not good for trail riding of course. But a lot of fun in the fields and ditches...
