Here are some pics.... Let me know what you think.

And here is how far I got after day 1. Put the skid in just for the purpose of the pic.

Nolan, That thing looks just great.

:beer;:beer; I can't wait to see more, you gotta hurry up and get that thing done!

Only one thing I have a question on.... I see you still have the Rider Select on there... I was under the impression that I was the only one in the entire world that still had one of those on the 900s

lol. I am guessing you like the benefits of having the adjust-ability there as opposed to the locked down system also?

nmmiles · Nov 5, 2009

Yes I love the adjustability. I was originally planning on going with the delete kit but I think I'll wait for this to go bad before I do that. So far its still solid. Just got to get it painted up along with the hood, and console.

Same here, mine is nice and solid also and I -really- like the idea of being able to set it back for sitting down on the trail ride to get to the good stuff.

nmmiles · Nov 6, 2009

It will look more like a yamaha when I strap a 200lb sand bag to it and remove a plug wire! lol

very nice job how long did you half to wait for your 975 kit

nmmiles · Nov 6, 2009

Ordered it in June....Still waiting. I am not very impressed with Carls at the moment. I was telling them since last September that I wanted one and they said they couldn't start on it til June. So I waited and put my order in in June and they said it would be done by Sept 1 at the latest. So Sept 1 came around and they said 3 weeks. 3 weeks later they said another 3 weeks. Its now Nov 6 and they said "2 weeks for the ECU".... Kinda ridiculous if you ask me. If they just would have said "Its going to be a while because "X" is going on. We should have it to you by Nov" Then it would have been alot easier to plan for.... Oh well, rant over.

You guys do know my kits do have some adjustmet right! Its just not Push button adjustment like the stock junk. I liked mine too until it got loose thats why i made the adjustable although I have never moved it since.

Looks good. Nice work.

nmmiles · Nov 6, 2009

Polzinhunter,

Your kit is hands down amazing! Count me in for one as soon as my stock one goes. Nothing against your kit, I love it, but right now its hard to fix something thats not broke... But when it does you will be the first and only person I will run to!

Received my engine in the mail friday. I was heading out to Minnesota to get a back stage tour of the Polaris factory so I didn't take time to go through all the boxes. One thing I did want to see though was one of the cylinders so I opened on of those boxes and almost killed someone! The cylinder skirt was broken right off!! Why ME!!! Anyways Im just chillin' here in Polaris country so I'll get back to the engine on monday...

Thunderguy BOOSTED · Nov 7, 2009

Looks awesome man!! CAN wait to see it finished!! :beer;

FLASH1970 · Nov 7, 2009

All that time spent waiting for it and you get the engine and it's busted? Lame. I would be a little unhappy too. Hopefully you get it figured out quickly.

This is the one negative thing I could say about Carls . Their shipping dept. is clueless about packing things up. I bought a rebuilt engine from them the put it in a cardboard box with some paper padding. By the time it got to me the crank had punched about 6 or 8 holes in the box and was sticking out. I was not happy!

Sled looks awesome, sucks about the cylinder though.

nmmiles · Nov 8, 2009

new cylinder is in the mail!!! 2 more weeks and I can start the build back up again... pics in a few mins.
