Do you plan to use a rubber section to continue the tunnel to the top of the rear skid frame to keep the snow down and controlled?

Looking good so far.

wasnt planning on using anything in there the seat and body work will cover all that area unless I'm missing something?

Might have to see pictures when you get further along. The one I have the use of will throw snow forwards and cover most everything up. I was just thinking it would be pretty easy to guard up around the lower shock mount with a piece to keep all the snow in the track chute.

Just let the flexible piece run back to the tunnel with enough cut away to allow for the shock / spring ... they do throw a bit of snow around.

I used a piece of "corex" - corrugated plastic used by sign makers - tough but flexible enough to work.

Nice work! The lowered tunnel looks great! I am building one as we speak. Is it very stable when you grab it by the bumper. I am going to install a bracket that looks like the one on he new pro, under the seat to the tunnel.

I shopped ebay for an LED taillight for a project I'm working on. Seems ok and I got one with a mounting bracket (aluminum) to make is faster on my end. Hope to get it wired and mounted this weekend.

Turned out awesome! Nice work and thanks for a great thread! Awesome to see the progress.

Are those stock bars on the sport and scoot? I find the stock scoot bars kinda wide for my son, wondering what options I may have- im not overly familiar with MX bars, pro taper bars etc..

more progress

ok the sport has been the toughest to figure out for sure...seems like it has a sweet spot on the bottom and mine liked to engage and try and move before that sweet spot which would cause a bog especially with a kid on it, so here is what I have found. Adding the washer (even thicker like 0.080th) helped alot.
But I wanted it better so I found www.hetrickracing.com (thanks Brett) and they have all kinds of springs for these secondary clutches. I ordered up 2 sets to try, 2000rpm and 2500 rpm. I thru in the 2000rpm ones yesterday for a quick try and huge difference on the bottom and engagment...just makes it rev a little more before take off missing the bog...we'll see when I take em west and try in some real snow! ANd yes stock bars on both with a nytro strap across...the sport I mad a 2 inch riser and the skoot is all stock :)
