slidekicks

[eric1975]

i going to order a set of slidekicks ice scratchers for my 2009 phazer mtx and wanted to know if they will mount in 1 of the 4 holes behind the first idler wheel

 

[murph]

yes they will.

Girlfriends is mounted in the forward most hole. Decent amount of spray into the skid from this location.

A better choice in my opinion is buying some 1.5" grade 5 1/4" bolts and drilling the rear inside tip of your front ski. That way you get snow spray into the very front of the slide where the most wear seems to occur. Mounting a scratcher to the rear skid is mostly useless. It will only spray to the area behind it.

Just drill a 1/4 inch hole, face the bolt down, use a washer, insert into ski. Use washer and nut on other side. Adjust to height use more top washers. I have mine set to about 1/2 the depth of the keel of the ski, seems to be about right. Doesn't catch anything and sprays pretty well.
Minimal slide wear since added but I also run the extra wheel kit up front.

Food for thought.

Here is a link. Look at the difference. the skid based ones are really doing nothing at all.

Wow, like the guy in the video said "the redneck way" is the easiest, cheapest and probably most effective way of getting spray on you skid. Plus, it's not affected if you reverse the sled. The only time toy need to remove it is before getting on the trailer.

Thanks for sharing that Amo!

Those will either work really well, or you'll mess something up bad...

The jury is still out...

They stopped selling them and/or they are no longetr made. Issues with durability. There is another thread on them in the general forums.
