Glade may be able to install the upgrades before it even ships to you or at least give you a package deal. Then you will have a single point of contact for everything.

I am noticing there are different rollers/sliders, what is the difference between the two? I understand what they do, just curious what the difference is with the rollers or sliders?
And how would one decide on what size jetting to go with, I have seen their are different sizes?
Thanks again,
And sorry for the questions, I am researching as you read this to find out as much as I can, sometimes experience is more useful then reading info on the web though

Didnt even think of that!!! But that would be the best way to go by far, thanks for the brain jar, guess I wasn't thinking to much.

to me rollers react quicker, the lighter the weight the more bottom end and a little less top speed. sliders slide in the variator ramps and will mpush the slide plate out more which will make the belt ride higher in the variator makeing it not loose or gain a tad of top speed.
I am sure Glade will get you fixed up for the terrain you will be riding

Rollers DO react more quickly just because they have no flat sides. There is the friction factor there with the sliders. BUT roller do develop flat spots after a time and affect performance in the variator by hanging up. You get more longevity out of the sliders. So there are pros and cons just like with everything else available.

Glade, Nice to see ya post! I am the one that we kept playing phone tag..... I am getting the Kinroad Sahara 150 from ya, I will probably wait a little longer till around the end of october maybe november for the reason I stated on the phone, it will be kind of hard to hide a buggy from the kids. Even tho it is a little big for them yet they will grow into it, and I can still play while they are growing as kids do.
