Looks cool. Can you describe the difference/improvement this provides? (I've never tried, or even heard of, an OVP steering set up. )

Certainly,

By placing your handle bars over the center pivot bolt the steering geometry changes. You no longer have a “swing” feeling to your turns. In other words, the further the bars are away from the center pivot point the more your arms are moving to get the same degree of freedom in your turns.

The best way I know how you can mimic this at home would be to place something like a coin on a table. Then grab a pen/pencil and hold it like you do your handle bars. Now keeping the distance from the coin and the center of your pencil the same (about 3-4 inches) turn your pencil around the coin and notice the swinging motion your arms are making (be sure to keep your knuckles straight). Now do the same test but place your pencil over the coin and turn and notice the motion. The swing feeling turns into more of a twist motion. Many feel the twist motion makes the ski feel much more responsive. With this system you have 3 adjustments points which allow you to dial in the amount of steering swing you like best.

Hope that helps,

Awesome looking system! I wouldn't hesitate to try an OVP system. They're a whole new world. It takes a little time to get used to but now I absolutely love it. It's so much more responsive!! Would have bought this setup if it was out a couple weeks ago!!

Do you make adapters to use standard bars? Someone should. I don't like fat bars and it seems all ovp steering are for fat bars?

Finally got to ride a tank out today with this steering huge difference and improvement over my old setup. A lot more then I thought it would be. The riser bars going to a wider stance tighter steering and adding a little sweep after nothing but straight bars for several years was all nice and a huge improvement.
