Hey Guys,


I am picking up a pair of bacons soon and I was wondering if anyone who has had these before found a solid mounting point that they liked. I'm only 5'7" so that that into consideration too.
Thanks a lot!

I ski them on the line and they rock. If you're planning on skiing them more in park/more switch move them further forward, or if you just want them to ski a hair shorter

Recommended is recommended for a reason. It's the best place to ride them. It's pretty far forward, so it'll be able to handle switch well.

What the hell? I was just warped into this random dead thread from a month ago. Didn't realize the date at first, sorry. I may have discovered a worm hole...

recommended is -2.5 from true center, just go there, i'm mounting at recommended or -.5 from recommended, but my shop has to do so many measurements to be able to mount fks on there i might just make their lives easier and mount at recommended
