I applaud the actual windshield... no comment on the beaver's ass. have you considered slapping some C&A RZ's or XPT's with 8" Woody's Executives on there if you really want to sharpen up the front end handling even more... you can pick up used one's pretty reasonable but install new loops as the loops stretch out over time. I swap them out every couple years. there's some deals for RZ's on Ebay... in red or white would complete the look. https://www.ebay.com/b/C-A-Pro-Skis-Runners-for-Polaris/100463/bn_7083763772 Edited November 25, 2023 by Crnr2Crnr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swap them out every couple years. I got 6 inch woodys now. Handles good . My Buddy had C&A's on his Rush i couldnt tell a difference . But the skis are starting to get worn so if I replace them id go that route Edited November 25, 2023 by EvilBird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice 👍 did the same. I just finished the last bit of ridge cap on my shed build so I’m sitting up on the roof and I see my poor sled under the deck and some snow still left on the lawn so I did the right thing went over uncovered her and rode around the yard for 20-30mins 😂. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my riding buddies (actually a Polaris Ambassador) was a C&Z RZR guy for YEARS, but the last two sleds he ran them on he finally realized they're not necessary and just overkill. To be perfectly honest, they steered great but took a lot of effort compared to stock & not worth the extra money. Buy a good set of carbides and stick with the OEM skis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said I rode a buddys with C&A he was raving about but not sure what he had for carbides but I can tell you my sled felt just as good if not better . Put new Woodys on last year but was planning on getting brand new ones again after the first couple rides this season with low snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer a round host bar. Never noticed the difference between a shaper bar and a round bar. The only difference I noticed between the 2 is the shaper bar was easier to rip off the ski when you hit something with it vs a round bar. I have gone back and forth between the wood’s competition bar and the 9.5 shaper depending on what the dealer had on the shelf that would fit a razor at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
