2008 M8 2 wheel kit or 4 wheel kit?

[Colten K]

hey i was looking at buying a 2-wheel kit. i went to the local delear yesterday and he had a 4-wheel kit from the 2010 HCR's. He said the 4 wheel kit os more durable and looks just as good. has anyone saw or does anyone have this 4-wheel kit? im thionking of piking it up for $60. Thanks!!!

Definately go with the 4 wheel kit, depending on how aggressive you are riding they will hold up your rails better....like they said, its more durable.

I had a 2 wheel on mine and bent the shaft, twice. Changed back to a 4 wheel. Definitely more durable.

My 09 had the 2 wheel kit and I drove over a rock under the snow slowly and grenaded the 2 wheel kit, bent both plastic wheels all to hell and popped the bearings out of the wheels. 2 hours later I had it sorta fixed and now have went with 4 wheels, 2 being billet.

I use the bdx two wheel kit on my M1000 and havn't had any issues, i run two billet wheels. Our '09 rental M8's have two wheels and they havn't had any issues either. Yet last season we had hcr rentals and they both had issues with the 4 wheels. They bnoth broke track adjusters and took bearings out of the wheels and such. So i'm not sold on the fact of the 4 wheel kit being better.

My son can't get his track tight enough not to ratchet on his TM1000 with a 2wheel in it so he's going back to 4. My M1000 without a turbo works just fine with a 2 wheel. Haven't had any durability issues, though I can't say there's any particular improvement to the sled with it other than it looks cool.:d

I broke the 2 wheel ones, so went to 4, and no problems since.

I just picke d up the 4 wheel kit, they say it holds up much better tha the 2 wheel time will tell.

I run the 2 wheel kit on my M10 and it works great. I hit some big stuff and bent pretty much everything else other than the 2 wheel kit. I definately know that those plastic wheels are garbage, need to run billet ones. here's a pic:

I run 8" billet wheels on my M1000 that also have the rubber around the outside like the stockers do and are anadized black. Can get in different colours i think they are about 150.00/wheel.

Yup Glen's right, i found the receipt and they were 130 a wheel but the ones i have are just straight billet with no rubber on them and they are not anodized so that adds a few extra bucks!
