Looks like a good group. Have you ever had issues with the ski spreaders?
We were cautious when we added the ski spreaders to the first sled. However, we liked the change in handling so much that we then went on a mission to add them to all of the sleds. The only odd thing that we have observed was on our 78 Intruder. One day we noticed that one of the ski spindles had lost its bushings. To this day we still don't know where they went. But we popped in some fresh bushings and all has been well ever since.
