I remember it was mentioned that perhaps in June they would start being the kit available/order-able. Anyone know if there is any new news on the kit?
Any news of the M1100T Vertical Steering Kit?
- Thread starter izzni

this isn't pointed at you, but why would they release a kit for a sled that doesn't exist yet? Seems really odd to me.

If you are wondering why it is a kit, and not a standard option, its because they didn't develop it in time to add to their production line. Production lines are expensive to setup, and hard to change. Everytime you do so you risk introducing problems.
If you are wondering why you can order it for a sled that doesn't exist, then you should ask yourself why the accessories catalog has stuff in it for sleds that don't exist yet.

I heard the sno pro's where getting them but not the standard. You wont really know until they show up on the dealer floor. But snowmobiler mag had a youtube video saying the demand of the vert post was heard and put into the lineup somewhere.
Can anyone direct me to links that will show the kit and the before after pics... or better yet an install manual of the kit??

From what I understand the vertical steering kit won't be available until early winter (like December). I heard that from an engine designer guy at the Arctic Cat 50th thing. He mentioned they had a problem with the bearing on the assembly and had to do a redesign.

I heard the same thing from Ken (from push turbo) at grantsburg watercross. He said they had something wrong with a bearinng in the setup.
On another thought. . . Any chance that the hold up on the turbo sleds is the steering post? That they are trying to get it developed and tested to go on some production sleds. I would be will to pay a couple hundred extra for my sled if It came with the adjustable post. Because I am sure the riser stock on the standard m1100turbo is not going to tall enough so I will be spending at least $30 on the right height riser.

Please share a picture when you get it? PLEASE. Whether the vertical steering post is on it or not.

Unfortunately from what I understand the vertical steering won't be adjustable like the the one for the 800s. It's also probably unrealistic to expect them to have it on the M1100T standard, especially since even on the 800s it was an option I think. If it were the case they'd be calling everyone up, asking if they wanted it.
In anycase, there really isn't a holdup for the 1100 Turbo from what I understand. They did their trail production run, which is why there are a bunch out there, but they don't have them scheduled until late september.
Talked to the cat western sakes rep yesterday. Narrow front end is done and have part numbers. Vert. Steering post probably not for a while.
completely different setup
Any promo pics or catalog pages that show the install??

i would think the boys in MT well see them first being that it is closer to the factory.i would think we would see pics on here befor use on the coast see them. if you look at how the 800 vert steering is you can see the issues. the turbo is a taller motor and they couldn't put in the same bracket. i have stood on both sleds and the hor steering is a good 2'' forward over the vert. on pavement i didn't find one harder to pull over onto its side. easier then a M.and i'm only 150lbs...
I like the idea of being able to adjust the bar height as well as everyone else but seriously how big of a difference is it gonna make. If this sled rips I think I'll be happy enough. All everyone keeps doing is complaining of weight and steering when 90% of people havent rode these sleds and the ones who have did it in the late spring, so let's be real it was not that long ago when the hottest sled out there was a 550 vertical escape and no one ever complained about weight or steering.
