ATV Tires to Polaris Skis Conversion Kit for Yamaha Raptor 700R 660R 350 250 125

Description

PATENT PENDING
This kit has continued to grow in popularity each year, and we're all set to send them out for another season in the snow!!! This year we are adding the disc-brakes rotation-limiting rubber stops in with each kit!
For those of you that haven't heard of us, we'd like to introduce you to a product we call
ATSki
...  Why park that sport quad when the snow starts to fly
?
Ride the ditches, trails and canals and have some fun!!! Ideal use conditions for this kit is snow from 2 to 4 inches deep which can have occasional deep areas crossable with momentum. Hard packed snow trails and snow covered ice are also ideal conditions. Use in deep snow is not feasible without rear tracks. Good snow tires improve performance. Studded tires as shown in the pictures further increase performance.
We've been doing a lot of development and testing on this kit, and it is a blast in the snow! This is the third generation design of our kit.
This kit allows you to purchase Polaris skis (new or used ones found on ebay) and bolt them directly to your ATV. It also works with SlyDogSkis which are available on the inter net in many colors.
THIS KIT ONLY INCLUDES THE MOUNTING BRACKETS TO ALLOW YOU TO MOUNT THE SKIS.
IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SKIS, LOOPS OR CARBIDES which are also required.
The kit works on
both
of the two most popular bolt patterns on ATVs and UTVs.  The two bolt patterns are 4x144mm and 4x156mm.
The 4x144mm bolt pattern is a little more than 5 5/8" from center to center across opposite hub studs. Here is a list of ATV's with this bolt pattern
(not that we have tried them on all of these models, but if you find issues with any of them - please contact us).

We picked the Polaris skis because of their wide availability at dealers and on eBay. Polaris skis can easily be found on ebay anytime. What you need to complete the kit is a pair of plastic skis, a pair of ski loops for the front of the skis and a set of carbide runners for the bottom of the skis.
This kit will work with the Polaris "PRO-STEER Ski" part number 2879152-070 or with the Polaris "GRIPPER ski" part number 2877679-070.  The new kit will work with either of these ski models, but WILL NOT work with the SkiDoo Precision skis which our previous model was used on. SlyDogSkis will also work with this kit.
This kit requires no cutting or welding if used with Polaris or SlyDog skis we listed above, and can be installed easily in an hour for a typical home mechanic.  The skis just bolt to the brackets using the hardware supplied in the kit.  The brackets bolt directly to the ATV hubs, using the stock lug nuts (flip the lug nuts around so they have a flat surface against the brackets instead of the tapered surface used to center the wheels).  No parts other than the tires and wheels need to be removed from the ATV.
The kit works especially well with the widening kits that we offer in our other eBay listings because they add additional width and stability.
Its fun to play around in the snow with a sport quad with tires, but most of the drag that slows you down is caused by the front wheels pushing through the snow.  With skis you have less drag or you go over the snow with the front and your ability to go through and steer in snow is greatly improved.  We've ridden our test machines side by side with snowmobiles in the packed ditches and over the snow drifts, and have had a great time doing it. Ideal conditions are either packed trails or around 2-4 inches of snow. The tires don't have much surface area, so their ability to float over the snow is limited and their ability to dig in deep snow is relatively poor.
You can run in shallow snow and packed trails with your stock tires, but we have found that MUD SHARK tires or paddle tires are the best for being able to get incredible traction in almost all conditions.  They are highly recommended if you are looking for a special snow tire.  Another option is from www.etvdesign.com.  They have a paddle tire for the rear that really gets you through the deep snow!  These can also be combined with track systems on the rear.  We have also attached a picture in the listing that shows 1 5/8" snowmobile studs from the inside of the tires. These have incredible traction on ice, packed snow trails and many other conditions. You can find some of our customers' videos on YouTube if you do a seach on "ATSki".
To limit the rotation of the ski's, we have included rotation-limiting rubber bumpers that mount in the holes of your disc brakes.
If you don't have disc brakes you can run a bungee cord from each ski loop to the front bumper, this is the simplest solution that is also very effective.
Steel brackets are precision cut with a LASER for accuracy.
Parts will come with industrial gloss black powder coating for corrosion resistance.
All the mounting hardware shown is included (skis, loops and carbides not included).
We also now sell Custom Aluminum Rear Wheel Spacers in our other ebay ads!!!  Check them out, they are unlike any other spacers on the market!!!

Like most other eBay items, you are using this "as-is" kit at your own risk, with no warranty expressed or implied. By bidding, you are agreeing to these conditions. As you can see from our feedback, we can be very helpful if you have questions before or after your purchase, and we will do everything we can to make sure you are as thrilled with your conversion kit as we are.
The goal of
Diamond J Customs
is to develop and offer products that add performance to the ATV without the enormous price tag found on other ATV aftermarket products. We do this by designing kits that will allow use of as many stock components as possible, and allow you to mount higher performing parts from other ATV’s on your model. These parts are often available at reasonable prices on eBay, saving you money. We've sold literally hundreds of these kits to other “Quad Fanatics” and from the feedback from customers on eBay, you can see that they have been more than satisfied with the products. We work hard to design products that maximize the performance of your ATV while keeping prices as low as possible. Safety is not something that will be compromised.
