I still have the stock ski's on my F7 with 9" shaper bars, and this thing turns so quick and easy I have to use body english to keep sled from rolling, not to get it to turn. I also have the straps pulled up, heavy duty sno pro rear springs, and the front skid spring fairly loose, but not as loose as some. My ski springs are also quite loose, so all I have to do is blip the brakes without getting of the gas and steer through the corner. I actually like it better than my '99 ZR700.
