Has anyone used these? maxximum has them for the older sleds (pogos).Are they worth the investment over the stock ones?I have a 96' vmax xt.

Aren't the ya blow molded ski? Much lighter than stock steel. I'm trying to remember the profile...not super agressive, but can be improved with Skisavers, but so could your steel skis. Give them a try, just make sure you get good wear bars and an extra set, cuz nobody will have them in the north woods...

John,
Not quite sure what your telling me. I'm looking for a direct bolt on. There doesn't seem to be many choices available for the old pogos.

I had one of those pogo sleds. Mine was a 87 Exciter. I put SLP skis on it and the handling and steering were awsome compared to the stock skis. If you are going to keep the sled it is worth the cash. I have seen the blow molded skis, and well, they are way shorter than the stock skis and do not have that big of keel. You will be happy with the SLP's I am certain. Pat

Give Richmotorsports a call and ask him if C&A makes a mount kit for your sled. USI makes one, SLP, you'd be suprised! Just give rich a call and see what he can hook you up with. www.richmotorsports.com

I have SLP's on my '96 Vmax 600 XT....love em...way better than the bent, heavy stock skis! Haven't tried any others, but the SLP's we're an easy install. I bought them at a swap meet cheap w/all the hardware.

Thanks for all the advice. John, I'll check with Rich and pogoyammie I'm feeling a bit jealous that ya found a pair "cheap" at a swap meet.

make sure you ask about a mount kit and skis...and runners..I think they come separately.

swap meets and gun shows...always the best deals if you can ID the parts!
