Damn, that's not how I wanted this great story to end! Congrats on the sleds though!
My Greazy Project Ultra RMK
- Thread starter Fosgate
- Start date
Parts on the way. $180 for a new clutch bolt and all front suspension rods. (Nearly 1/3 is shipping charges)
Used to be a guy on here by the name of Wimpy, made beautiful radius rods, don't know if he is still around.
Got her put together at 1:30am last night in time to go to a vintage ride. (All greazy triples invited). She’s a runner. Still need to tighten up the steering and adjust the chain case a litte better. Quick run.

Awesome! It looks great!
So I tracked down the correct front control arm that was bent and another tie rod, perfect match to the good side. Everything set right, ski's back in perfect alignment. Clutch locked in good with a new bolt with an impact. Last weekend the chain case tension bolt worked its way almost all the way out. Got that locked down good. Adjusted the belt deflection again after tossing a new belt on.
Took it out Saturday and mostly trail rode with it. Responds to throttle input like it was new and tuned in with the aftermarket setup. While it is not as fast off the line or as responsive as my 850 Khaos, none of new long tracks I rode with could keep up with it cause I could run much harder and faster through the corners than they could. It sounds mean as hell. At idle it just, "kack kack kack" like it's eating sparkplugs at every rotation of the crank. I asked a friend if he can hear me when I get up close behind him, "****! I can hear you 50yds in front, beside and behind me!" Lots of stares on the trail as I cruise or rip by. One group of 5 guys turned around to look at it when we were taking a break. Some other guys I had to stop and see if they saw my wife go by as she took a wrong turn. I hear "That Way," and 'That's a really nice Ultra!'. She performed flawlessly and not a single issue with a 48 mile ride. I gotta get more pics and video of it in the wild. Got it legit stuck in waist deep snow with a hole under it but yanked out easy with a snow bungie. If my boost doesn't come in again this week, I'll be riding the ultra again.

Anyone Interested in buying the ultra? I got diagnosed with colon cancer two weeks ago and going under the knife on Monday the 20th. I bought it in Wyoming- of course no title but if a guy really wants a title I have the guys contact info and the paperwork I saw from his purchase was that he bought it from a local power sports place in Sheridan area. Think he'd be willing to help acquire one so long as DMV doesn't throw too many hoops. PM me.
Wish you the best with your surgery. And amazing job on the sled. ?

Price? Location?
Everything will work out I hope.

Dang man, sorry to hear, and my prayers are with you. It's a really cool build, and I wish I had some money kicking around for something like that. I'm praying God sees you through this and somebody local buys it so you can get some more riding on it. Obviously, you've got another fight on your hands for now - never give up!
Hope you are doing well!
Declared cancer free the day before thanksgiving. Kept the Ultra through all of this. Sank more $$ into handlebar controls and found a 151 rail out of an 02 RMK 700 with fox shocks and big wheel kit, also a 2” paddle track. Still working on getting it put back together. More to come.

Closer to being done. Tunnel extension should be here Friday. Little brake work tomorrow. Some other minor finishing touches on their way.
