So now that some have a few miles on are people expierencing flaps being suck into the tunnel? I only noticed mine on HARD breaking after high speed runs.

 

[Braap]

Yes! We had two F7s out last weekend and both snowflaps looked like a beaver had 'em for lunch by the end of the day. I am planning to install a strap from the flap to the bumper.

Do you guys compress the suspension at all when you sit on the sled??? LOL!!

 

[CatMan2]

230 miles on mine and it hasn't sucked it in yet.

 

[CanadianF7]

90 miles and on my 3rd flap. Cut the bottom 2" off and no problem since.

 

[Earl McCreary]

no sucked in flaps yet!! but the snow wasn't deep. we did a lot of jumping and still ok. I believe it might be a issue when the snow gets deeper. We usually have 2 feet of powder or more when riding. We will see when the real snow hits...

 

[SpeedWerxf7]

^_^ CanadianF7 are you morbidly obese...because mine is AOK!!!

 

[teamarcticf5]

sucked in once

 

[fireball]

did it 3 times today, but no damage also no studs

 

[Captainkev]

No problem.

Hey Speedwerx, how was the riding around Gaylord ? Meet any STRANGERS on the trail?

trim the bottom-follow the line--you will see it.

Sucked in once hope that don't happen to often because only 2 small screws holding that on and you can move the hole flap very easy.

 

[switta]

i cut mine off last night

 

[RTSF7CAT]

Check out Big Fire chiefs trim job on the how too's no sucking of the flaps

 

[rev them up]

Cut mine off last night...the stud's did not like it!!LOL

 

[F7Revbeater]

yeah i got 1 1/2 studs on my F7 Sno Pro...they didn't like that flap at all. Thinking about trimming it, any other suggestions?

You can keep the flap the normal length, just add a piece of nylon strap, loop it around the bumper, connect to center of flap. Before this take each end of the nylon strap and sear it with open flame to (not to fray). then use a kit to punch a hole and add a brass gromet. To install loop the length around bumper and put a rivit through with a backer plate. This prevents any future probs. Sucking in the flap usually only happens on the 1.375" tracks.

While making several hi-speed runs (100-110!!!) on my first outting with my std F7 the other day, the flap got sucked in almost every time with the stock 1" track. -- Roy

I think we're going to add the "strap to the flap" idea to our sleds. I want to avoid the possibility of rousting other riders on the trails with shorter flap. (I always hated it when some guy on a T-Cat would fly by at 80 or more throwing rocks. At least the flaps would cut down on some flying rocks and ice from the sled.
