First off let me say hi to my fellow Yammie fans out there. I've been riding Yamaha sleds for years and couldn't be happier about it.....Now for my question.
I have an 03 Viper which I've just purchased a 144 inch track for. To get this track on I will have to lengthen my rails and I have 2 choices:
1) Buy a full rail set (expensive option), and
2) Buy a rail extension kit (cheaper option)
I really want to buy the extensions to save myself some money but someone told me that the extensions can be pretty weak and tend to snap if ridden too hard. Has anyone else heard this or is this dealer speak to try and get me to pay more money?
Any help would be appreciated.

I have extended a few sleds with rail extensions and as long as you dont jump 15 ft in the air and land on the rear wheels all the time, you wont have any problem with them.

but tracks usa 144" tipped rail extension's.It will still corner like a short sled but when your on the gas you will have 144" traction.
