Slidekicks question??

[dab102999]

I know there are two good threads already started on ice scratchers but the answer I need I can't find in either one of those so here goes... I have a couple of sets of slidekicks coming. One set is going on my 06 Attak the other on a 07 Doo. On the web site for the scratchers they recomend mounting them on the rails but I have noticed that a lot of pics on here show them mounted to the tunnel or the steering arms. Are these better places to mount them?? Was there a recomendation to mount here or did you guys just like those spots better?? I know the previos owner of the attak I boungt said he used convensional ice scratcher but broke his rail one time (he thinks he forgot to put them up when he backed up) so before I mount on the rail is there un-do stress at this point?? I know the ones I am getting are reverse friendly so Any help would be great and think snow....

Here is where I mounted mine:

They worked just fine -- sprayed the whole skid adequately. Obviously the RSI stiff ones work a little better, but Slidekicks are fairly rigid and do have enough downward force to kick up good spray, and are reverse compatable.

Thats pretty much were I was thinkin until a saw the few pics that people have mounted to the skid below the footwell and one where it was mounted to the transfer rod and it got me to thinkin. I know rsi and that type are better but I don't want to take the chance of thowin it in reverse and forgetting about them. Expesially momma...

Yep, exactly. Ya need to grab reverse compatible ones. These work just fine IMO. I guess 1st gen ones a few years ago had issues, but they beefed them up and they are sufficient. I used them most of the winter last year.

Those green stickers are MN registration stickers.

You had me worried there for a sec, NOS.... I thought I may have been "punked" by one of my 'Doo riding brother in laws!!!!!!!!


They'd slap a 'Doo sticker on my sled and wait to see how long until I noticed it was there!
