	Offer a mountain rider yours in trade, if they have learned to ride they would benefit by going back to the straight mount. www.snowhawkadventure.com phone # 206-999-9729

Re: set back for ski

	Hi You can see a picture of one in a manual that I have posted on my website on the tech info page. There is also a picture of one on the used snowhawk page on the same site. The picture is of a sold machine, and it is at the bottom of the page. www.michigan-snowhawk.com

Re: set back for ski

	What are these tools,the last one i assume is the one I have seen in pic (manuel) But what is Paioli tool kit (P/N 449 450 020) I have to disassemble my forks completely and want to know if it is a must have ,maybe I can make my own at work The Paioli tool kit (P/N 449 450 020) is needed to perform modifications such as seal replacements and complete fork disassembly. For smaller operations such as fluid changes and/or compression valving adjustments, the supplied special tool is sufficient.▼

Re: set back for ski

	Your large wrench in your factory tool pack is all you need to remove top cap, otherwise use an alternative wrench. Should be able to break entire fork down with common hand tools from there. www.snowhawkadventure.com phone # 206-999-9729

Re: set back for ski

	I am having fun with it although you really need deeper snow then what we ge to enjoy it's full potential .As of yet I think it is not safe for me to be riding on trails and tying to keep up with friends with sleds.Would be better if others I ride with had one. What does the setback do.Is it easier to turn

Re: set back for ski

	I have never ridden with the straight mount but I would guess it allow the machine to turn quicker, I have no problems keeping up with any of my friends on trails with the set back. I ride dirt bikes a lot in the summer though.
