Well, as the title says, its an old school build. Im starting with a 93 Polaris Storm 750 shorty... I have owned numerous Polaris sleds from wedge chassis to edge chassis to the IQ RMK chassis. I recently sold my 08 RMK 700 and went back to the ole backup, my 97 sks 151". I have a certain soft spot for the wedge chassis and like the looks of them so that is what I am building. Now I know that it is gonna be heavy and old but that what I like. Anyway, lets get to what I am doing. Starting with a 1993 Polaris Storm 750. Have started on the build and doing it on a budget..
What I have done so far... I have pretty much completely stripped the sled down. I have taken all the front suspension out, and replacing it with fox 16" ctc shocks and a custom radius rod and tie rod lightweight front end built by one of my buddies. Also he is going to make me some lightweight trailing arms to shed some more weight. Putting newer style spindles in, and Polaris composit skis.
As for the rear, changing the drivers to 8 tooth and dropping in a 151" 2" paddle track. I made my own custom tunnel ext. and the rear suspension is an xtra 10 136" with 151" rail extensions(for now). I am going to put an led tail light on it, and for extra fuel going with the Mountain Addiction Track Rack system with the two 1.3 gallon tanks.
As for the motor, it has the stock triple pipes which I will keep for now in search for a set of aftermarket trips... Clutching will be completely changed, as for the gearing as well, switching from the stock 23/37 to now a 20/39 gearing.
The handlebar have been raised up, throttle and brake extension... mountain bar, hand guards etc... Have put on a digital water temp gauge to better watch engine temps. and there will be more things I plan on doing to it, some of the work is done, and some isnt. but it will be for sure done by winter. ill post some pics of what it looked like when I first got it and some work in progress pics. let me know what ya guys think!
