Expanding MPS (mechanical power steering) to Rx-1, & Pre EPS Apex, Vector, Venture


I would be interested in this kit for nytro, even though I got it to drive with one hand most days. Bad shoulder sometimes plauges me long trips with rough trails. Definitely can't hurt.
 
Venture Lite/MP as well. I know these have wider spindles than the Nytro and Phazer.
 
I cant wait for it, my RX1 is a bear to steer for normal people. My elbow has been smashed to particles so no strength.
 
I'm just getting old and achy.
 
I'm working on these. Pretty much down to finalizing hardware. Hope to have both Nytro and Deltabox kits wrapped up by the end of September.

Photo below shows what I have evolved to for the deltabox sleds.

Anything possible for Phazers/Venture Lites/MPs?
 
Is this available for purchase, whats all needed? I have an 03 RX1 and ever since I put on 8" tripple point Bergstrom skegs I feel like I'm gonna break my arm or a steering component when hitting the corners..! I really have to do so something with the steering, or, grind off half the damn carbides.! I contacted Kurt for the "Wildchild rider forward kit", he got back to me today .. unfortunately, they no longer make it.. If this is available I'm all in..! I'd prefer something that's been tested before I start modding.. Season is coming and I need to get this fixed. Any info or other suggestions i'm all ears..! Thanks

Guys will spend 230 on snow tracker skags to transform handling on these older sleds so I'm going to target something closer to that price bracket

Have you tested the MPS with the Snowtrackers? If so, how is the handling?
 
I've been checking your online store barnofparts.com.. However, still haven't came across the MPS for the RX1? Pulling my sled out of storage next week and want to get on the ball with this. Hope you have some good news..
 
Ok....Kits are up on the website for ordering. To keep costs down I was able to utilize the stock tie rod ends and opted to supply good used tie rods(as inventory lasts). Retail will be $250 for the deltabox kit. Settled on SS MPS arms, as the 6061 aluminum arms were stress cracking for me when I formed them. The stock spindle arm has fine cast lines on the edge. These will need to hand filed for the linkage arm to fit. Aside from the filing, the installation concept is the same as the procross kit. I will get installation instructions updated as soon as I can.

Here is the direct link to order in the store.
