sounds about right for your application, you might need a little more carbide with 144, maybe 8 or 10.......[]

I am running 144- 1" studs and 8" Saber magnum carbides on my Triumph. Seems to work great.

I am also running 144 woody's gold diggers with aluminum backers on my Triumph. I believe my studs were .920" long after an entire season of riding they still look in great shape. I have not bent or broken one of them yet!!!

I even wrote up a tutorial for Polaris Files when i studded my track. Take a look http://www.polarisfiles.com/snowmobile/tutorials/howtostud/howtostud1.asp

Don't forget the tunnel protectors!!!
