Downhill riding, Is it just me !!! ?

[sledhead_dan]

Anyone else have trouble downhilling with a RX1mtn? I'm having a hard time leaning sled over, would a rider forward mod help? What about raising sled by lowering the track mounting and adding more air pressure to fox floats up front to raise center of gravity on sled? ..........or do I just need to bulk up??? :exc:

I put on a wild child rider forward on my RX1 and its the #*$&@. pretty easy to install. Put on apex handlebars and a 5" roxs riser.only thing is i have a 4" longer throttle cable, stoct brake line is OK

I have no problem with my '03 with a 162" track. I don't have any of the rider forward mods. I run Fly Aerotaper bars with the mountain bend on a Fly 8" riser, PPD X-MT skis and no front sway bar. The sled is real easy for for me to pull over and turn back up the hill.

Anyone have detailed pics of the rider forward kit ? I could move my roxx 3.5 riser forward more with stock ape hanger bars, would that be close to a rider forward ???

SnomadTT is parting put his sled. He has a ride forward kit for sale. Excellent guy to buy from:

I also put a rider forward kit on the sled and its the shiznit.... Even with a 162x16 I can lay turns down a hill that looks like a skier made the run. If you do put the kit on, buy some extra plastic bushings... they wear pretty quick (a set a season)
