IMO, i think if u did the front/rear torque arms orange and do the rails black and maybe get some orange hifax, That would look SICK!!!
the whole orange/black color scheme is gonna look awesome!!

One hell of a build, and your other two sleds as well, keep up the good work!

Your insane man. lol Looks like a really sweet build! I think you need to hook me up with some of your sources for good cheap parts! You seem to find all the killer deals. lol

Hows that knee of yours doing by now? Last time it sounded like it wasn't treating you to well. I'm walking around on mine just fine already, got about 3/4 range of motion back, and haven't even started physio! haha It's going better than I thought it would.

2 words...

Knee braces!!

Invest in some good ones... wear them on whatever you ride.

Pro Athletes on Wake boards, football players, hockey players, MX racers, Rodeo riders etc ... with healthy knees... they wear knee braces to keep from being a crippled old man like me... I wear CTi Vapor CF/Ti braces on both knees with Patella protection a well... Beats doing a Thiesman on your console when you hit a creekbed at 30mph!!

Awesome. :) Good to hear. I don't see why your hamstring would still be bothering you though? I have forgotten about mine already. :) Was pretty bad for a while though.

haha now that's not very nice....

What did your knee braces cost you? I want some thing better than the $40 EZ fit I have now,. but not really looking to spend $800.....

also been getting alot of help and support from 2poor and DJM1 on turbo info, setup...... REALLY kicking the idea of turbo'ing this baby this winter/spring '11, wont have the money this summer to get everything bought/installed...

but will start getting small parts here and there this summer to get the ball rolling so i can learn more about the setup and whatnot..

thanks to 2poor for shoving the turbo down my throat, and breaking me, lol

turbo the beast.. I ride with jskattum606 all the time on his t-9.. I have ridden it at 7-8# of boost and it feels like the most smooth but crazy powerband ever.. with the 166 following him can be a chore.

also.. loving the black.. and orange accents. they happen to be my favorite combo... the 9 may not be the most popular sled, but they sure can go if done right!!

yeh man, he has helped me out with a few questions...2poor has been dogging me bigtime on how i need to do it as well...and along with his help and DMJ1, they have pretty convinced me to bite the bullet..

but like i said..i will collect parts this summer/winter and build that bad boy in 1 year...

ill be running the Garrett GT3071R turbo...because i want to make sure i can climb a tree straight up, not just push it over, lol....

i can tell im gonna be in BIG trouble here, lol....but its worth it ;)

Well here is my progress so far...got a chassis hoop from a Dragon, been debating on modding it on to give it a RAW look...and in turn use the Dragon Center Console and the FNI HiFlo Stirrup Vents in the pics above...

i am using part of the stock 900 fottwell for more bracing and for a footwell, so my feet dont go farther in then i want, and get too hot from the can or my toes blown off from a busted belt, lol....but after the vents are powder coated and braced in the middle...you wont see them much if all through the FNI vent mesh ;)

this is where i am at right now..just a mock up of the hoop, need to modify a few things to get it right so it will look "somwhat factory"
--brackets for side fenders need pulled back
--steering column upper bracket needs turned
--gas tank supports need moved
--oil tank bracket needs made
--modify the footwell brackets
--mount the coils somewhere

im sure im missing some things, but its not a major undertaking but its not a direct fit like i was looking for, lol...but its do-able im sure ;)

after i get it pretty much ready to bolt on, i will order a dragon center console and FNI vents to finish the look....but still need to get a few things powder coated before i can get much more done :face-icon-small-dis
