Hi all,

Here's what I done last week-end with old skis and a little bit of black spray paint :

It's not very good looking but it's so much better than these damn wheels in deep snow!

Leave some comments.

Looks sweet! was it really hard to do? i think it might be cool to do just for the fun of it

Posted by: CarGuy7a

that's killer looking man. the best mod i've seen so far.

why not just get a snowmobile??? LOL it is sick though... haven't seen that before... just swap it out in the summer?

Posted by: X400EX

Thanks for your comments!

It was easy to do and really good upgrade for the snow, LOT better than wheels in front.

Snowmobile? What's that? lol

Posted by: TRXRacer1

LOL, good stuff! I did that years ago on my 86R. Just don't get that front end up too high...........

I've just took some old skis from a sled, black paint and bolted that up to the front hubs.

Merci, monsieur de la beauce!

Thanks for the comments.

Looks like a LOT of fun!

I have seen a company on Ebay that makes adapters for this for around $70. Ebay item 4590714662

Here are some of their pics...

Looks mint, I've toyed with the idea but I never get around to it, besides I ride the MXZ in the snow, and the quads when theres dirt. Good job though

Posted by: 97WarriorRider

so they just bolted right up to the hubs

Posted by: X400EX

Yep, exactly.

Thank you for the idea 08400EX, I might take a look at it.

cool pic Scuzz, ski would be a bit nicer on the water. I've come out 90 degrees from the direction I was traveling in when skipping water, it didn't feel so good...

Posted by: scuzz

Yeah, a few budies of mine do that e-v-e-r-y time they go riding in Mississippi. They figured out by accident one time creek riding and now they do it every time the weather is warm enough.

The raptor does it easy, the 400EX throws you over the handle bars violently.

That water is about 10' deep about 15' behind where he is in that picture.

Posted by: X400EX

Wow, crazy pic scuzz!

Do you have any more of them?

Posted by: scuzz

I actually have a video, but it's in "DVD" format. I need to decode and post.

Because those damn raptors have REALLY light front ends, they probably glide right over the water.

Yeah you should see them as they start slowing down, the frontend starts shaking violently.
