Are these Rails Bent or is this Their Profile

Put it back together and trade it in on the assault...........

Shame on you Mr. Bottlerocket! ;-)

That was the only choice given Mike and I did add if he can do without Yamaha power....lol

Oh ya, if they are cracking/ cracked replace them now with either new stock ones or Ice Age rails. I'd go Ice Age.

X2 on the ice age.

 

[mckracker]

Ice age doesn't seem to make 121" rails that I can see. Polaris what was I thinking?!?!! Lol.

Those are bent, and they aren't supposed to be.....

I just ordered them 150 Canuck bucks a piece. Peace of mind.
It's going to be hard drilling into those brand new rails for the 2 bolt mounts.

Thanks for all your input. Great site as always!

Actually they did crack at the spots close to the bends. I had them welded. I noticed through searching other guys have had cracking in the same spots. I'm going to put 2 bolt mounts on the idlers and hope for the best. Doing the same mods I learned from Rockerdan's post.

If they were welded just above where they are bent it was caused by the weld shrinking as it cooled. It's very common to distort metal when only welded on one side. In your case the topside with no welding on the bottom.

Did you buy yamaha ones or ice age rails? Like you said i dont see 121" mono rails on there site.

 

[mckracker]

Yamaha ones from stealership!

Hope i don't have to deal with this issue any time soon.

The bent rails will probably eliminate Hyfax wear....LOL. Then everyone will want them that way.

 

[mckracker]

When I get the new rails I'll put pics of them here to compare.

 

[tbanzer]

If they are both bent the same I would either just run them or have someone with a press straighten them. Cant see it making that much difference.

bolt um up, they will be fine!
