For that sled 96 studs would be enough. *You will want to also install 4" or 6" carbide wear bars..
I recommend Studboy for both studs and wear bars.. *They last really well and Ron from Studboy is a firstclass guy!!
If the dealer installs then expect to pay $3-4.00 per stud installed. *That includes parts too.

If it were mine I would run 96 Woodys down the center with either 6 or 8" carbides depending on your riding style. Too few and you'll be tearin em out and too many you'll be hooked too tight for slidin when ya want to.

Powderboy, On a 136 track I would go with 108 .875 or 1.00 Woody's. If you are aggressive rider on it you might want to jump to 144. Most dealers charge 1.00 a stud to install plus the cost of the studs. I like the Mega bite studs personally. I got mine for 120.00 for 96 with nuts.

Dealer recommended Excel studs. i forgot to ask how deep. $245.00 for 108 installed. I hope that will be enough. He had Gold diggers for $300.00 installed. Is it worth the upgrade? Thanks guys keep em coming

Well, retail is about 257.00 for Gold diggers and aluminum backing plates for 120 of them. (96+24=120). 257.00/120=2.14 a stud. 2.14x108=231.00. 300.00-231.00=69.00 for labor. Studding a track is no picnic. Figure a few hours for it. I personally would go with the Woody's. Don't have any idea how the Excel studs are. If your looking for stainless, Woody's has them also. What kind of riding do you mostly do? Trail? Powder? Aggressive? Touring?

I am told that the excel studs are carbide. The pantera will be an extra sled this year for friends and girlfriends, and occasionally i will ride it aggresively if i need a spare sled. I was never really a stud man till i lost control of the pantera last year on the lake and almost wrecked her. This year everythings getting studs. The sled will mostly be used for touring, once in awhile she'll get up to 90

good to hear from you alindazip. Its been a rough road to revovery but i am back in action. Dr says all is in order for riding this year. I bought a ZL 800 SS picked it up this morning shes a beauty. I dont know how i can afford all this sh*t but heck you only live once right. I am glad to hear your response regarding the studs. Its good to have confirmation from all you guys, when its your toy you only want the best for it. I have a little over 1K on the Pantera. It proved to be a great trail sled, although the weight takes some getting used to. How deep are youyr studs? Did you bend any? Thanks
