Do you think that the snowmobile industry could benifit from these as well?

I assume that for aggressive trail riding and snowcross this would help.

I have never heard of them so I was wondering if anyone had some input.He doesn't want to spend the money on new skis, so would ski slips help widen the ski for powder?

The question I have is if I need tunnel protectors or not, it does not have them now. It is fan cooled so there is no heat exchanger, so should I worry about it, or does it not matter. ]]> Control / Traction Center blk18two http://www.snowmobileforum.com/control-traction-center/40239-tunnel-protectors.html track help http://www.snowmobileforum.com/control-traction-center/40145-track-help.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:33:42 GMT i have a 94 polaris xlt and i just put a 1.25 ripsaw track on and i removed they front cooler and it still rubs any ideas i have a 94 polaris xlt and i just put a 1.25 ripsaw track on and i removed they front cooler and it still rubs any ideas ]]> Control / Traction Center Jak2000 http://www.snowmobileforum.com/control-traction-center/40145-track-help.html Need to info http://www.snowmobileforum.com/control-traction-center/40136-need-info.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:48:34 GMT I am going to purchase studs for my 01 ZR800.
