I have a nice set of ski boots that I like, but they are for single keel skis. They kind of work, but flop over on their sides and ride crooked with one keel in and one out of the groove. I'm not positive I'll stick with the tuners. May go to a single keel, but in the mean time I'd like to look for a bot that accepts dual keel as the Doo will have dual and it would seem to me that a dual keel boot should work for both?
 
Tracks USA. I know for sure the ones they have work on 6.9 Pilots. I need a set myself. Work great for running sled up ATv ramp into truck.
 
Sometimes a guy wants to ride on dry unpaved surfaces into the shop. Once inside I'll dolly, but I can't ride in on wheels and I'm not going to carve my floors. Both are fine polished and one is epoxied. The one I could probably ride in, but the step is about 3/4-1" as the outside slab is sinking.
 
Don't give up on tuners for lack of boots, I have been pleased with them for trail ridding. My 02cents

The wheels I use handle an inch up no problem you just have to slow down...lol. My only complaint is that if you wheelie down the street and drop the wheels back down at over 40mph the impact can cause loss of rubber on the wheels......OH, maybe that is why they are rated for 15mph! :D

In fact this just reminded me to buy another set.

I have 2 sets of those they are nice but the straps broke on both sets and I had to monkey rig them(thats not offensive to monkeys is it?) and they wont go wide enough to fit the simmons skis. I have made booties out of the roofing material I install that slip on the stuff is super smooth and tough. they save the shop floor from 32" of carbide marking it up on the snow you can spin the sled they are so slippy.

I also made one 17" wide x 70" long that you strap under the track of a downed sled for tow out. No need to remove belt and the stuff is so slippy on snow you have to watch out on downhills that the dead sled does not rear end you.

Duro-Last is a 2ply PVC membrane with a polyester re-inforcing scrim inside. It has a tear rating of 2000 lbs per SI. When we roof and it gets snow on it you cannot walk on it, you will slip and fall.
 
Are yours the ones with the axle caps or the hair pins?

The std are supposed to fit 7" wide skis

They are at least 10 yrs old and its been a while since I used them, boxed up in the shop. I have been running Simmons on all of my Yamahas since 04 but I believe they are caps not the pins like in the picture. I know the ones I have are adjusted the whole way out.
 
I looked at the pic again and my axles are not that long and do not have that big of a spacer. I must have bought them when they were designed for radio flyer sled rails.
