Riser VS. Relocator

[canoehead]

Broke down and just ordered a OFT relocate kit. Appears most are adimit this is the best mod and constructed kit out there. Thanks to all for the input. Pricey, but maybe this new geometry will help reduce the crappy symptons of the Ortho Arthritis in my shoulders.
Looks like I'll be on a beer free diet for some time..................... naa!

Your going to love it. It might feel a little weird at first but, then you will be thinking why didn't I do this along time ago. You better go have a beer and read the instructions several times. The hardest part for me was bending the lower studs you have to get them right so the lower part sits perfectly and it won't bind.

I love the oft relocate on my XTX. I can't wait to ride this year with the wrp seat I put on this fall. Just sitting on it made it feel so much better. To me, these are two mods that compliment each other well! With uncle Arthur you may like the taller seat for your knees and hips too, plus it takes away the ape hanger affect you get with stock seats and the relocate.

I just ordered my OFT kit....like 5 minutes ago, does anyone have pictures of how much they cut, im thinking you are cutting the dash or was your concern the cutting of the cable retainer?. Im not going to cut mine yet but i would like to see it. also any tips on aligning the bars and skis after the install??

Yea oft-relocator is by far the best mod on a nytro, i want a pivoting riser also but that has to come later this winter.

Nothing is cut what so ever with oft. It's rounded to get furthest forward movement of bars with no cutting needed. That's why I picked the oft. I think the bdx might give little better angle and feel but it looked like bunch of cutting an no going back to stock

In actuality you need to cut the metal clamp (1" approx.) holding the relocater in place to clear the dash panel and also the rubber cable fairlead. Not a big deal. I used my powermadd riser with this and WOW what a differance. I got ape hangers on my sled to. LOL

Oh. Well suppose everyone does it diff. I cut nothing for my oft.

Edit: oh you mean the "mounting bolts" I just bought new bolts

Did you have issues with increased RPM when turning the handle bar, they warn you about this but don't tell you how to correct other than refer to owners manual. Cheers and happy new year!

No problem on mine...just had to re-route the throttle cable as per instructions...

I've ridden 3 full seasons on my Nytro with a Lake Effect Pivot Riser (great product btw). This past weekend I put on an OFT Relocater as well as the riser and got to test it out in the trees. It's a big difference! The sled is much easier to steer and much easier to handle when boondocking with the relocate kit. You will not be disappointed!

i have the cr racing one. cheaper and use stock bushing but it's from canada!
it's my third winter with it and never had any problem.

I was looking at The CR re locator and is it the bracket which is only $25? How does it work?

yes it's that bracket.
It only raise the steering bushing that the steering column is more vertical.

very easy to install.
