Just wanted you guys to know that I did the darting mod to my SXR last weekend and it's the best time I had riding since I got it 3 years ago. I wished I wouldn't have waited so long. I used some old pieces of hyfax and stuck them in there with some gorilla glue. Lost a little bit of cornering, but I could actually ride without fighting the sled all day feeling like I was going to be twitched into the woods. Hard to believe a couple little pieces of plastic could make such a huge difference.
Thanks
Dave

try a few tricks below and the sled will handle, ride and track better than new.
Yup it really works. I just took some old hyfaxes and cut off the part that wraps around the rail on the skid with a chop saw and ended up with a flat piece of plastic a little less than a 1/4 in thick. Oh, I did check the toe out first and it was good.

I did it to my VMaxER. I did however find it very difficult to back up after. In reverse the carbides really dig in and will pull the bars right out of my hands. But still worth it to be able to ride down the trail in a straight line without fighting it the whole time.
