Skis

[total package]

Is there a "modern ski" available that is basically a bolt on for a Vmax 540? Thanks.

Call USI. They are the only manufacture that I know of that has a direct, bolt on ski for TSS sleds. No "making some crap work" with these skis.

You could make just about any ski work, but I believe the only direct bolt on still available with no extra spacer, bushing, bumper, or saddle mods are the USI's. There maybe more, but dont recall any other manufacturers listing a specfic bolt on (no f'n around) for the TSS anymore.

well I did post how I mounted stock sr viper skis on my pogo last season but I have not measured the width on any of the vmaxes.

kimpex and camoplast make direct bolt on's too

Those may have been the ones I was thinking of. I always dismiss the Camoplast's because they look like crap.

Ok, just ran into issues with USI skis for the second time. They have a nice kit for TSS sleds but they have a hard time sending the correct mounting kits. So sorry USI, I will not recommend your skis anymore. Too much BS for something that is as simple as sending the correct parts out.

I take it you didn't receive the YM5 kit.

Yep, on different occasions I was told to "just simply tighten the bolt to close the gap" Well I knew full well it wasnt the correct mount kit and "the gap" was 3/16". Customer support is about as shitty as it gets.
