by the way did you buy the skis as a kit and if so where did you get it, or, did you make them.

I will probably be mounting up some skis this winter. My friend had them on his ds.

My winter setup:
studded tires all around
realtor rear tires
skis
hotgrips
416(hopefully)

I thought of doing that and running some Sand Skate tires but......I found that my V700 ran OK stock rubber in a foot aand 1/2 snow.

I mean there was a lot of spinning initially but I hit about 30-35 mph on the GPS. BUT in a foot and 1/2 I would rather run the sled and hit 80-85 mph!!!
