I put some syncs on my 09 UG using the screws supplied..and one fell off mid air (interesting landing) then i bought some longer screws and placed some spring washers between the bindings and screws. this worked well.

dont use the washer that is supplied, its only there to keep the screws from falling out in transit. Screws fit fine...... now

Have em on my 135 FLX. Fit just fine but screws could be a bit longer.

Heres the Pic of them on my FLX... Just a note guys... All the current Underground boards are 2008 models... Underground releases 2009 boards in 2009!!
As the rail of the board tapers down, the Heel and Toe edges of the Pad stick out a bit, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem...

WARNING- The Screws supplies with the Sync straps are of an uncommon size and thread designed for the 09 Cab range, Use ur existing screws to mount the sync bindings on any other board.

Um... The screws supplied with Sync Bindings are of a common size/thread, used on Underground boards...

The screws supplied with each pair of Syncs are 4x6mm and 4x 1/4ww, very common.
The inserts in Underground boards are 6mm, have been for a few years now, prior to that they were 1/4ww.

If I was fitting syncs to an Underground I would use the Underground screws that are a bit longer than those supplied with the Syncs, but I have had no issue with the screws supplied by Cab with the bindings on my Caliber board.

Do not use the black plastic washers that come with the Syncs, they are just there to stop the screws falling out during shipping.

The back/heel edge of the Sync pad can be trimmed quite a lot, I did some for a customer with a belt sander, came up looking really good.

Yes, may need some grinding of the pad?? Depends on which model, bring it to a dealer and test fit them in the store.

and on a 08/09 Lunacy too, no problem.
