Ohhhh. boy. :scared::scared::scared:
I have a 950 Stupid Enduro as well. Figured it would be a bit heavy for a snowbike.
EDIT: how do you shift since you moved everything back?
163" x 2.4" Longtrack + 16" x 5'7" Ski = Float

I was slightly concerned about the weight but I think it'll be fine with a few key mods. Here's the thread on it: https://www.snowest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=386429
Shifting is easy on the 520. I fabricated some linkage so I have a shift lever on the tunnel.

Here ya go!
I now know what direction to go with building my M1000.. I said a while back, what would a longer track and a larger sport/ adventure bike do with a long track and had some negative comment. GOOD FOR YOU!!! Keep us informed on the 950 build if you do it, I was looking at the Yamaha FZ09 I think it's called not super heavy and being
a triple, it probably would be easy to turbo...
I continue to tweak "The Unicorn". I've learned a lot this year after doing some more modifications. Three things have really made this bike awesome for me:
1) I ditched the stock subframe and built a seat that bolts directly to the tunnel frame. This lowered the seat a bunch and put it at a better angle.
2) Added a set of pegs behind the chain case. This puts me more in the center of the bike which I think is crucial for the long track. They are an inch or so lower than the stock pegs.
3) Built a custom bar riser that brought the bars up a bit and back about 8 to 10". This accommodates the rearward riding position.
For me, this was a total game changer. I now stand up almost all of the time in a very comfortable stance. This really distributed the weight much more evenly. So much so that I had to ditch the fat ski because I was getting too much float!
This has worked out so well that I am going to build up my 950 Super Enduro with the same type of set up.
