Anyone ever replace the closed loop ski tow on a VX with a more standard ski tow ring like the one below?

I have mounted one of those tow rings on my 1999 gp1200 just mounted it 3/4 of the way up and formed a sqaure piece of plywood behind it to spread the pull of load. works better than stock.

It shouldn't be a problem if the spacing matches between the bolts, but check the clearence between the handle and the top of the loop on the new eye........it may be a tight fit.

If you are mounting it to be able to remove your tow rope more easily, you might want to consider one of these instead: http://www.amazon.com/Airhead-AHKC-...=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1269385280&sr=8-35
