Ice scratchers and keeping idler wheel

[drumz11]

Anybody know if there is a hole in the rail to put the end of the spring in the rail on newer 121" mono shock skids? Ordered the adapter yamaha sells to keep the idler wheel in tact and put the scratcher behind the wheel on the bolt. Going on a 2011 vector but my machine isn't near me at the moment to look and I couldn't tell from any photos if that is the case with guys running them.

Skid mounted scratchers on a 121 won't really do a lot as far as spraying any amount of snow/ice up into it, imo, you need either ski mounted sratchers or the sway bar cable type to actually do any good. (JMO)

pioneer mounts work well.
