Absolutely. There would definitely be a market for an aftermarket kit to put eps on older sleds. I'd love to see a kit being sold for power steering.

If there was a kit to put Eps in I would buy it in a heart beat . That the only thing that I keep thinking about buying new sled but I have 3k in accessories in mine that keep me ground plus only have 2k for miles.

Me too. My arms aren't strong any more. The sleds heavy in the front. It would take some smart engineering to do a kit. I have a feeling there wouldn't be a big enough market for it to pay it off.

I sure could use some power steering. I now feel like i may brake something on my 03 RX1 or even loose control and hit a tree while hitting the bumpy corners. I put a pair of C&A XCS skis on my sled with Bergstrums 8" triple points and handing is near IMPOSSIBLE! I think i may be selling these and putting my stock skis back on with the dooleys. Unless there is an EPS kit or mod that can be done to my sled that someone knows about..?

What is your transfer set at? I have bergs on my apex my transfer was at min. I'm now just a little less than max enough to keep skis down and now love my bergs. I'm also up one hole in the limyer strap

The difference the EPS makes is that you can run agressive carbides and it turns so easy. My shoulders and elbows love it. When I ride my Warrior it reminds me of why I went to EPS. It would be a great upgrade to it for the kids to ride when they come home at Christmas. I went to EPS so I could keep riding past 60. The new Viper or Cat 7,000 steers much harder then EPS on the Delta Box Chassis.

I love what you did Tom and a kit would sell like hotcakes at The Pas Winter festival.

On second thought it probably wouldn't work on the RX chassis!

i would buy that kit i drove my brother in law turbo viper an he drove my Apex an there was not much difference mine was a little harder between the too for steering.

Finally completed power steering swap on my 2008 Apex GT 40th, WOW what a difference ran a 96 mile loop and felt awesome, yah I spent some cash to do it but a lot less than buying a new one especially since this one is paid for and my all time favorite. Basically used the electronics from a 12 apex and the seat and fuel tank from a 12 vector, very easy to do all plug and play only feature I lost is the rear Ohlins shock electric adjustment but I'm fine with that as I always ran it in the soft position.
