I know this bike is 60# heavier than a typical application, but since I already own it I figure maybe fit a kit to it, see how much fun the sport is, and if Fun enough I could transfer the kit to a newer electric start bike and I would only need a new fit kit.
Since they dont sell conversion kits, and I have never installed a kit on any bike, what am I going to encounter if I install a kit on this bike?
Kit Of first choice - Timbersled 137 because that’s the only one with a dealer in my normal riding area, Laramie WY. If another kit is easier to install, I might consider another.
Ski fitment to regular forks - looks like I need to get some custom made clamps for the forks.
Track fitment - guessing here:
Re-use the oem swingarm bolt and get some spacers made to center it correctly.
Get a new drive sprocket and new shorter chain.
Can I use the existing brake line?
New, wider/ larger foot pegs.
Replace air filter foam with more porous/ breathable foam. Install same foam above air box intake. Possibly cut extra openings in side panel to allow more air to get to filter. Maybe cover those holes with frogskin.
