Do you encounter more slider wear at the tip up?? I got 3000 miles out of my sliders, id like to see that many miles again. BTW if the guys from OFT read this there is no instructions on ur site for it. Its self explanitory just didnt know if there was instructions for it at all.

It's possible that you may notice a little more wear at the bend of the tip-up, but the front of the rail is where your sliders will wear out first. Make sure and take it easy on them to "break them in" on your first ride. It makes a huge difference.
The instructions were originally along with the 153-162 extension instructions, but a computer mishap screwed that up. Sorry about that, if you ever have any questions, always feel free to buy me a beer, I mean call.

Check out this thread. I had a 2008 with 136" OFT extensions. I added stock idlers from a 2010 XTX to prevent wear because my slides were shot within 200 miles after the upgrade. Easy add. Just remove the rear swing arm mounting bolts from the rails and install the XTX bolts, Idler Spacers, and wheels by threading the new longer bolts into the swingarm.

Yes. Add wheels in the rear mount location and you won't have a problem. There is already a hole there you just need the stock mounts and an extra set of wheels.

yup I had to grind the back of the rails. Actually one side fit fine the other needed the grinder. Every sled or even rail is a shade different.

We designed them to fit tight. Our extensions inter-lock structually with the OEM rail that way, rather than putting all of the stresses on the mounting bolts. The OEM rails are sheared to get their shape and the draft ( angle of the shearing process ) will sometimes make them fit tighter on one side of the rail. If you look at the vertical end of the rail, you will see what I mean.

I had purchased a set of 136 extensions for a 2008 that I used to have from OFT and they fit PERFECTLY! I miss the 136! I have an XTX and at times the 144 is a bit long. You'll LOVE it!

No Prob! You'll love the Yamaheater! I rarely had to use the boost on my 2008. REALLY easy install too.
Good luck with your extensions. I know if you have issues, Scott from OFT will help you out!
