Which Pilots and how should I mount them?!?!

[marsh14]

The mounting kit comes with other stuff. Just call them and tell them you just want the rubbers for a nytro.

6.9s are great. Good trail manners and really help the front end float in deep snow. I used the rubber mount kit from USI with their bushings but had to cut 1/8" of the bushings to fit in the ski saddle.

Any other advise on which rubber I should use?

It looks like the Slydog rubbers should work without any mods. I think I would go that route. Give them a call http://slydogskis.com/cart/index.php?ac ... oductId=51

marsh14, do the Slydog rubbers fit snug in the Pilot ski saddle?

 

[marsh14]

Yeah, they fit great. I cut the little tab off that sticks up.

Perfect, thanks for the help!

 

[Maine-Rider]

marsh14, I meant to ask you. What did you use for bushings? How did you install them? Did you have to cut them down at all?

 

[marsh14]

I used all the stuff from the yamaha skis. I put one in backwards to fit.

 

[Maine-Rider]

Thanks again marsh14!

Does anyone have a set of 5.7 or 6.9 pilot skis for sale?

Two of my brothers ride their Rev's with pilots. I rode my brothers back-up '03 Rev with precision skis. IMHO the precision skis are much better for trail riding. The carbide wear doesnt compare either. I have stock skis with Woody's doolies on my '08 RTX. I will let you know how they are when the snow flies. If the dont work, I will be strongly looking at Simmons gen.1 Come on SNOW

dont be cheap, buy some simmons and mount them with the pointy end forward
