I just purchased three sets of Slide kicks and one set of carbide tips to try out. Put one set on my F7 yesterday. Haven't tried it yet, but these look and feel beefy. Definitely more heavy duty than I expected. The other sets are for a Polaris xcsp and a zr 800.

I wish I had better news on these to report. They self deployed all the time. And it gets worse. The right side one was in a deployed position on every ride and it always turned a little so it was just sitting there with the tip floating above the snow. The problem is in the not in use position the cable hits the snow and turns. It doesn't matter how tight you can get it, it will hit the snow and turn. I took them off and used grade 8 bolts and loctite to get them tighter than with the stock bolts and the result was the same. The cable is just too low and will hit. I have them mounted in the top hole on the slide rail also. They couldn't be mounted higher. I fought with them all winter and will go back to the spring ones for next year. If anyone has any ideas please let me know what worked for them.

Question for all concerned:
Why are you storing the Slidekicks up on the rails? If the snow is soft, they do not wear and drag is negligible. If the snow is hard, they need to be down. Slidekicks have replaceable tips, are you worried about wearing them out? Slidekicks do not break in reverse, so why worry about them being deployed? They stay up fine when loading on a trailer which is when they should. FYI: When people install the Slidekicks the first time and neglect to properly torque the mounting bolts, the toothed washer that were intended to create a bond between the rail and the scratcher is ruined once it spins from pull force. The customer then attempts to use the same flat toothed washer again and again, to no avail...the teeth are bent flat and will not bite anymore. A simple replacement of the toothed washer and proper torque the first time will do the trick el permanento. |

We store them up because we do a lot of road crossings and unfortunatley mud and snirt in the spring. I bought the hardened tips also. The toothed washer isn't the problem here. The curve part when in the stored position hits the ground. I might try to make a different bracket to raise the height. My friend installed his on the skis on his xcsp and they look like they are going to catch on stuff. He never got to try them. Thanks for the reply.
