Well believe it or not I messed with it more this week as weather messed up our trip. I was kinda in a rush when I did those videos to go on our previous trip, it did make it a 1000% better at that time.
Offset was 1.857" but as I looked at it closer, I removed another .125 off the post and I'm now at 1.789"
That's on a lift.. I wanted to be able to put more shims back in it and push it in further if needed or out under torque.
It is pretty darn perfect now, I did some high resolutions slow-mo videos to get a real good look at things hard to believe this completely way off from STM's 2.090" specs but it runs very true and cool clutches AND NO BELT BLOWS. Thank Jesus

Blew 3 belts this year but it was due to using a too stiff of secondary spring. Replaced spring and all is well again.

Sounds similar to myself. Got my new setup all here now.
Sure could use some snow though!

You need to load up and head to Cochrane. Tons of snow and trails are mint!

Yes Quebec trails are the best no doubt but I spent a week up north and they were Quebec like. Really impressed this year.

I hear ya....that area is amazing for sure.
Im just working on some itineraries this week....Since it looks like we have another week til the temps start to remain good.
I like how close it is to trailer to Temiscaming, Only a tad over 2hrs from my door here to there. Unload and have 190miles or so ride up thru Villa Marie, and then northeast up 309 to Val-D'or. I think this would be a perfect day. I could foresee doing this even on a weekend if only 2 days are avail. That is our problem, trying to get the time when everyone can do it.
Good news is the weather models are looking cold again after next wed/thurs and into the first weekend of FEB. So FEB should be solid at least for the first 2 weeks for sure. We only need some fluff here as we have a killer rock hard base from all the rain/freezing rain and slop this week which is rock hard now.
