What comes in the clutches on the Prolites 900? Is it Bikeman's adjustables in the primary with stock secondary? Looking at Bikeman's web page shows a torsional conversion on the secondary with the zinc coated adjustable flyweights on the front. Got one coming and just wondering since the BDX webpage is a little vague.

They come with a 40/36 helix not torsional.

the additional built in overhead outside lighting's nice but a bit overkill, eh
:biggrin1:
NOT BASHING!!!!!
Please don't think I'm bashing! I'm just curious. Why would you spend that kind of money for a mod sled and "hope" it turns out good. When you could buy a Pro RMK, put a Carl's Cycle 900 big bore kit in it and have a very comparable sled for the same money or cheaper?

I've thought it over before buying my prolite. 1st, the Suzuki 800 has been proven reliable...the Polaris 800, not so much, it's the weakest of the three and also the most likely to blow up early. 2nd. I have yet to hear of an arcticcat tunnel bending for no reason...the Polaris tunnel is weak and need additional mods to make it hold up. 3rd, the belt drive design on the Polaris sucks, they are blowing belt drive belts regularly, at the tune of 180$ a piece, not to mention the 100 mile break in every time you blow one. 4th, the track shaft is solid on the arcticcat, unlike the glued together pos they designed for the poo. 5th, I wouldn't ever feel good on a sled with glued a-arms that are prone to failure! It's a matter of time before one of these comes apart at the wrong time and seriously hurts/kills someone. This is what helped me make up my mind. Any more ?'s.

These sleds are the real deal. Rode one today. Thanks Dwight and Ray. I've had a few mod sled over the years and have to say this is really a well put together sled. Shouldn't have ridden it cause now I have to figure out how to get one. :face-icon-small-ton

hmmm...im not feeling the love for Polaris ...:brokenheart::brokenheart:
demo rides
We did a bunch last year but bdx has decided that if you want to ride one this year you will have to rent one and the price is 499 a day plus fuel and Prolite tech. So for two sleds fuel and tech about 1500 a day. I will guarantee that you will have a blast.

That's ridiculous. I can go to a ford dealership and test drive a $65k truck for free, with a salesmen. The dealership buys the fuel.
Know why? Cause they want to sell me that truck and know I won't pay approx 10% of the cost of it just to see if I like it.

Your better off just buying the sled and doing the mods yourself cause the past couple years of seeing them at haydays it looked to me as if they let a kindergarten class room put them together. Some of you will argue about the warranty thing, but your telling me that if you blow that 900bb up they are going to cover it...lol smh
Does he fit in a backpack or is there like.....a bdx storage compartment he hangs out in?
I
No you pay for the gas in his sled as well as his time.
But if you read mmsports signature 1100miles on a demo only drops the price $1k. So why does it cost $1500 to ride it for a day? They expect you to put 1600 miles on in one day?
H
It's not a crime to make money.........but charging 1500 to demo a sled is getting ripped off. I don't see too many people demoing prolites this year.
H
No room in the backpack, it's full of Vaseline
No love there!! I would love to be there to see the expression on his face when a Pro RMK shows up his Pro-lite. The moment you realize you just wasted $16000.00 on a poorly assembled pile of s--- !! Priceless :face-icon-small-hap

Wow! Is this for real?
