bender front end kit?

Post by Vmxhunter »

I was wondering....To you guys that have a bender kit installed to widen your ski stance....Does it realy improve the sleds stability? And IF I can find someone willing to sell the complete set-up. Is it hard to install on a sled? Is it worth it? Also, is trying to find those anti-sway bar kits. Are they worth the time to track down one. And install?

You cant even imagine :) And IF I can find someone willing to sell the complete set-up. Chuck has them for sale (not complete but the important parts) Is it hard to install on a sled? Its not easy but if you can cut, measure and weld you should be able to pull it off...Is it worth it? I think it is amazing! But becareful if you plan to race... the rules may prohibit hit Also, is trying to find those anti-sway bar kits. Are they worth the time to track down one. And install? i hear they are not all they are cracked up to be and if you widen it you wouldnt be able to run the sway bar made for the 540

widend ice oval racer

Here is the front pic of my oval racer. The stock swar bar has been extended to accept the new 40 inch stance. This sway bar will be for sale at the end of this season if your interested. I am building a new heavier bar this summer. This stock sway bar is just a bit too soft for oval racing

Sway bar = $100 shipped to lower 48 states

I took my front sway bar off wasn't helping me much running straight line. Also it was extra weight to carry.crwdog how is the vmax running on the 2010 oval tour? The new sleds still can't run down the old vmax :P :P I just put mine up for the year our ice and snow is just about done!
