For those who boast that they never ride sitting down, then why don't you just take the seat off of your sled and save 10 lbs then. Fact is, you won't take it off because you are lieing through your teeth. Or I should say tooth, because you are missing one from t-boning that last tree, when you flew over the handlebars from the standing position. So how do you take those fast corners and/or sidehilling on hardpack? Kneeling or sitting down of course. Risers help twist those handlebars into preztels and/or snap them off, when not if, you roll it. Try riding a sled out with snapped off handle bars, and of course, do it standing up.
Cover on a sled to keep gravel, snow and ice off? Geez, someone ought to patent that idea. Or not! Of course you have a cover and undercover on your sled when you have it tied to an open trailer. That goes without saying. But if you have no gravel guard on the front of that open trailer, then using longer mud flaps helps big time.
The SLP single is rated at 10 hp and saving 6 lbs. The twin pipes are rated around 16 hp except you have to add a silencer for $610.
