I didn't say its not in my budget! Thats your assumption and quite a fallacy, so why are you looking to be a hater when I never said anything about not liking it only my opinion based on an unanswered weight question.
What I am saying is: Without an answer on the true weight loss it could be deceiving! Per the informatino of the thread it suggests a $50 per lb weight loss, but is it true??? I just asked for an answer and stated my opinion.

I never knocked the product, without answers if I wanted to loose the weight I would go with a hood and drop even more weight for the money. (key words "if") my opinion that also forces one to avoid or answer the question.

Just because you brought it up, "if" i already had a other weight mods and hood it might be something to look at depending on true weight. Or "if" I need the room or had broke a tank on a rock because its stupid low, well then now i'm interested. It provides other function that are good to: Integrates stock functions, you can see the oil, free's up room for what ever you like, turbo applications, storage if wanted etc... that part is great but my posts are concerning weight because its a rather large statement of the thread!

You could have just stated your opinion of the product "its Billet" ooooo rather than be a hater.

Now can I get my question answered please. Weight loss not including oil?

C.O.2, is 2.5lbs your finding or the manufacturers?

My concern is the plastic tank beeing so close to the exhaust. I dont know how many oil neck sleeves Ive sold for the old m-series, where the filler neck got warped of the hot exhaust. And that was not as close at this.

Manufacturers. That was their reply to my question. I ponied up for a TKI belt drive on my '15.

I thought about that as well along with how long will the plastic tabs last if being bounced around but it should work and a small heat sheild would be simple. ALthough weight savings would drop a tiny bit.
Without testing its a neutral subject. IMO

Looks awesome, amazing that Cat isn't smart enough (or willing to spend alittle extra money) to build something like that from the factory.

You might consider building a heat shield or maybe just heat tape would be enough. Warping the tank would be a concern of mine. Nice Work!

Send me 20.00 USD via payapl and I will tell you how to lose the equivalent of 2 quarts of oil in weight off your Pro climb without turning a wrench...............................

any updates or additional info on this product?

TIA

X2 on that product update?

Mt Valley Machine · Sep 29, 2014

The material is on order. We should start our production run this week. It is looking like the price will be $295 + shipping and handling. We made some small changes which lightened it up and moved the tank back a little. You can get on the web site and preorder. We have some commitments already and will sell on a first come first serve basis. We should start shipping in mid to the end of October.

catothom · Sep 29, 2014

So you have the final weight savings numbers?

With the full tank of oil and empty tank of oil?
Price wise, it looks pretty good. Would be a great update for my sled since I want to shave more weight from mine.

Mt Valley Machine · Sep 29, 2014

6.5 lbs full of fluids. 2.5 lbs. cover and tank savings

suitcase · Sep 29, 2014

Has there been any issues with the melting of the oil resivor?

Mt Valley Machine · Sep 30, 2014

No...we ran this tank most of the year last season.
