Found a 136 skid from Polaris Dragon.???

[bluemonster1]

just wandering if anyone knows if this is a good skid to buy to put under my SXR.Price is $400,but open to offers.It is from a 2008 Polaris Dragon Switchback.Should I consider this,just wandering if the install would be easy or not.It is a IQ skid,14 " travel,gas (rydeFX)shock with remote reservoir on rear,center Gas IFP shock .

also found an Arctic Cat 136 skid for $200,got to find out from what year sled..so far guy tells me it is from a 90's sled,don't think that would be a good skid then.

Earlier this yr I purchased a mtn max 141 with track for 200 and put that in my Sxr I had was sweet

 

[bluemonster1]

any comments on the IQ skid guys...would I have to use drop brackets also??

 

[bluemonster1]

luck is good today,another guy just e-mail me that he may have an xtra10 136 kicking around for $300..so the hunt continues..

Drove an IQ once. The ride quality was real good from what I remember.

I agree, I rode an iq skid in a sx years ago and it rode and transferred great. That's the best one by a mile of the skidframes you've mentioned.....

 

[bluemonster1]

good ,and thanks...Jeff may be able to use your drop brackets maybe..don't know yet.I imagine I could just relocate mount holes to push skid back to make a 144..???

 

[bluemonster1]

but if you guys think a 136 alone would be a great difference,then I would go 136.I found a nice used Cobra 136"track with 650 miles on it for $375 also..but also found a brand new 144 Rip saw in the box yet for $300,guy was going to put on his Venture..I think the Cobra is a better track anyways..

 

[SWEDE]

I think you'd do great with a 136". I have a 136" cobra on my sled this years and its an awesome track and better than my ripsaw in just about every way. With that said its not very durable though. I got like 7-8000 miles out of my ripsaw and sold it for 200 bucks still. I'm thinking I'll be lucky to get 3 seasons out of the cobra as its showing noticeable wear at 1400 miles and I do really try to be careful too. I love this track though so it kinda of a catch 20 lol! I do wonder what the ripsaw 2 is like and how it'll hold up.....

So guy has a nice xtra 10 from an 02 SKS in great shape for $300. Another guy has a 2000 Phazer skid and possibly getting a 144 in as well.
Here iare pics of the xtra 10..not bad..but I think the IQ looks like a more superior skid..a little more $400,maybe can offer $350.00

 

[Cam/ Viper adict]

The IQ is a much better skid Doug.. Go for it and if not give me his number I will get it.. They ride nice, my buddies Dragon rides great, I have ridden it a bunch of times and it is good..

 

[bluemonster1]

yeah thought it would be better then th xtra10 and has remote reservoir rear shock as well.I will make him an offer and see what happens as he wants $400 for it..looks in good shape as well being an 08.

 

[bluemonster1]

does anyone know what a Polaris track pitch is,is it the same as Yamaha.I wanna see if he has a track to go with the skid,as I see some in the background.

 

[Cam/ Viper adict]

Not sure of the pitch but may be able to find out tonight. Going ridding with the guy that has the dragon and will ask him and check out.

 

[bluemonster1]

ok thanks Cam.

Poo tracks are usually 2.52.

 

[sleddineinar]

The x10 is an improvement over the proaction, but for 100 more I'd get IQ, an even bigger improvement for sure.

 

[bluemonster1]

hey sleddineinar,,could you post pics of that tunnel extension on here.That second e-mail address is my only one.Maybe try it again..

I am going to make an offer to him for $350.He is asking $400 obo..worth a try.
