Adding RX-1 skis to
94-96 Vmax (pogo)
by Dave_vmax600
First you obviously need a set of RX-1 skis.
After that you need to the following:
You will need to make a square cut in the ski saddle.
The cut is 4 3/8" long....i didn't measure the width but you should leave
about 1/4" on each side.
You will need to make the cut 6" up from the back of the ski.
Next after you have made that cut you will need to make a shim for the
saddle. You can use really fat washers....but I decided to make a plate.
I also had to cut the hole in the plate. The plate is the same thickness as the
saddle.
After that you bolt everything back together so the ski is one again.
Now you need to cut down the shaft that came out if the strut picture below.
Cut the shaft down to about 3"
Next you will need to shim up your skis. I used a package of 3/8"
washer that i had in my garage....i had to drill them out. I put 4 washers on
one side. you can only put them on the inside of the ski or you will result in
your saddle getting a little chewed as you can see in some of the pictures.
Remember the washers need to be drilled out to fit over the
shaft.(that’s only if you have 3/8 inch washers though......)
Here are some finished pictures.
Great improvement to the sled and it looks oem.
Enjoy.
Also this mod can be done to any pogo stick sled....all you need to do is follow the instructions.
Note: some cutting sizes may be different on sleds that are not in the above picture (94-96vmax)
