yep, i bought a TIG welder and went to town on it. It feels way more ridgid than the stocker and there is no chance for snow build up on the running boards. Just hope i dont fall through haha
that thing is pretty dang sick! i want to check it out! have to meet up and ride sometime this winter! i really like the running board setups like that, super practical mods that look awsome as well.

That would be awesome. Ive been following your project for a while and would love to see it in action.

Ok, some almost final pictures. All i need to do now is get rid of the yellow. I have a set of black hi-fax to put on, and ordered a big wheel kit for the rear wheels. Should look good. Anyone know where to get white hi fax? also want to get rid of all of the swithches on the handle bars. Anyone attemped converting to rocker swithches on the dash for warmers and lights?
finally figured out how to post big pictures

Just did this on my Nytro. The handwarmer(left) is a momentary switch. No off, just push forward to cycle through the hand warmer levels, pull back to cycle through thumb warmer levels. Headlight is a standard on/on toggle. Very clean setup.

I put mine right below the rpm gauge. just took it right off the bars and ran the wires underneath and cut hole in the dash (not bigger than the face plate of the switch casing) then just mark where the bolt holes on the face plate and drill the holes and use stock screws to mount it there. Looks super clean and took me about 5 minutes to do. Another common way to get them off the handle bars is mounth them to your riser but not all risers will work.

yep. Stock tunnel bare weighed 32 pounds and i got this one finished at 18 lbs. 14lbs. weight loss not bad for my first go around. yes its chromoloy .035 x .75. got all the tubbing for 320 shipped. the black background is rain gutter material .027 and only cost $12. I did have to buy the new tig welder, but i can use it for everything. Nikolai, where did you get those good looking switches?
man, i really want to see it in action, the drop brackets for the rear skid haning look SICK!!! go hit up the bridgers, lets see it in the snow!
the rear cooler tucked in there looks awsome, the weight is pretty impressive as well!
