Just so info and pics don't get buried in the "delivery dates" thread. Please add...I will as I get the time!

Notes:

Warranty start date is delayed until dec 1, 2015 on Canadian snowcheck sleds...assuming same for USA (someone can confirm). So no worries about picking one up early.

Underside of tunnel appears to be painted other than coolers. I know that was a question floating around. I think it's splitting hairs personally...but also cant hurt. The center strip is paint...not a shadow.

Cycle Works West, Alberta!

(you will only see attachments if you are on snowandmud)

Pretty much the same as what I have coming, what a tease! Hopefully this will be at the dealer when I can pop by going through town in the next week or two.

Ask to keep the foam that is on the running board edges... help to protect your cover from snags on the sharp edges (if you have a cover).

I'd keep that foam on there until the moment you load it up for the first ride. LOL

Got one built and headed in to showroom. Fit and finish is awesome in person IMO....my 2015 was a huge step up from my 2011, and this is improved again. New a-arms look tough. This one has the mid-rise bars. Noticed that the little locator nubs on the track are now located inside the rails...which is a nice clean look. Never lifted a lighter back end on a sled. The 163 - 3" is listed at 426lbs dry on Polaris website...I have no reason to doubt that, as weight is integral to their marketing and general idea for the sled. One mans opinion

I'm not really a red guy but that thing is sexy! I went with the blue which looks good too. I'm glad I'm not on a cat or doo and have to park next to these hot rods.

BDM Motorsports in Vernon, BC has 8 in stock. 1 all orange, 1 white/red with black chassis, and 2 blue with black chassis are on the showroom floor. All of them are sweet, I think this will be the year for Polaris.

I like the look of that snowflap.
Much nicer than the one that was in the release pictures.

I've never noticed the opening over the headlight. Store much there? pics of that 3" track kinda make me wish I'd gone that way!

Yeah, but at the expo the 3 inch sleds had the same as the 2.6 models, just without the holes. This flap looks completely different. Also at the expo the 3 inch models had an aluminum bumper instead of the carbon fiber, can't tell from these pics but do these have the aluminum bumper still?
