Avid 7 tooth drivers
Custom WTA system

A couple more with a pic of sled I started with, looks good but bulkhead had stress cracks all around engine mount areas on clutch side and sled even felt loose to ride. She had been straddled by many a jockey besides me, buddies share you know.:face-icon-small-win

Update

Sled is going a little slower than I thought but I am waiting on some new parts for turbo system that won't be available till the new year. We have had very little snow and riding the stock M1000 lately has been more fun than the turbo would have been. 3" track is in, suspension is in, just have to finish the WTA system and turbo.
