Hartman tunnel extension. http://www.hartmaninc.com/

 

[tundra]

he has a hartman tunnel extension and mountain Perfomance drop down bracket.

If you put the rear bolt, the one that bolt in the drop down bracket in the lower hole, you will have the same height to the running board. The stock extension is lower. But the rest of the sled will be at the same height.

You will loose some weight transfert doing this, and the sled isnt as responsive. This position raise the pressure on the ski.

But you can do this in 15 min, except for the extension.

It also looks like MPI drop brackets. There has been a couple of them for sale in the classified section on the forum.

I have a hartman ext and timbersled drop brackets. My drop brackets are in the same position as stock just lighter

I really like those brackets sledskiing. Small! I don't care at all for the huge, bulky MPI's! Ugly. The Hartman tunnel is the only way to go. You could always make your own out of aluminum and drop about 5-6lbs to stiffler!

Sorry Tundra - didn't see your reply before posting mine.

If I have understood Stiffler right he uses his sled a lot on trails and lakes.

In my opininon using the lower holes on the brackets "kills" your handling on trails. It made mine very feel "nose- and top heavy".

After two trips on trails I went back to upper holes in the brackets.

I just like it for looks...lol....so what do you guys suggest?....leave it alone?

 

[..Stiffler..]

Aaron I love that apex seat....where did you get it?..and how much if you dont mind me askin...(i want to copy you)

 

[AaronBND]

You can find them here and on Snowest. Got this one for $250 which is way cheaper than BOSS' $580.

If your are going with drop brackets from timbersled - like the the ones sledskiing is using - you need to put in some spacers (aprox. 2x5mm) to make the shaft on your skid frame fit. Those brackets are made for apex and vector mountain skid frames.

If you go with a OEM seat from'O6 and out - try to get a apex mountain, vector mountain or Nytro seat. They have a stiffer foam. I put on a seat just like sledskiing - best upgrade I have done to my sled!

Gives your sled a much better mtn look. You can validate to purchase by saying it will give yourself more clearance in the dep POW.

kool thx for the info sled....

Aaron on your sled I notice that your pipes must be under...is there anyway to have the seat and have the pipes still showing like stock?

 

[AaronBND]

Yes, that would be the stock setup! just leave your exhaust alone and put on an Apex seat.

Here's what your sled would look like with the stock drop brackets in the bottom hole with the stock extention and with an aftermarket extension (mine is the MPI 162"). Both the Hartman and MPI tunnels have similar designs with the exception being; MPI has a nice fit for the edge of the tunnel (rolled like the stock running board vs. squared) and Hartman has the nicer rear bumper.
