If we keep the Nytro I'm definitely installing one on it for spring. The wheels above are just for moving around the shop or short distances on pavement.

They held up excellent and I used them on dry pavement up to 80 kmh for short duration. They don't steer real sharp but were more handy to have than not. The wheels held up good to gravel and frozen slob ice, if used with a little care they are excellent, no noticeable snow turbulence from them at all. Keep in my the sled I had them on was no boondocker. I will be getting a set for my new renegade, they really didn't look odd or take away from the look of my Yamaha. I have no concern with something if it's practicality outweighs it's negative cosmetic appeal, to a certain extent anyway. The wheels were easy to install and perfect for garaging each night, I still use dollies for long term and easy maneuvering around the shop.

Their system is different and powerful, furthermore, didn't cause any side shifting or torsion on my ski. Anotherpoint, the position of the wheel is perfectly aligned with the suspension pressure point, so it's not leading to any freakin' wear. find them at www.qualipieces.com. Hey,

In terms of damage, the stupid cable that the wheel kits come with completely hacked up my suspension, the bolts have done no damage so far. I don't use this rig for much distance, I try to be careful about that. And they only work on pavement.
