I am installing a 165 track. On my 154 summit. Curious to see if there are any pictures. I am wondering about the rear tunnel. No one has any extensions yet.

I wondered the same thing. With the open tunnel design I wonder if you could get away without adding an extension.

Tunnel

I am going to see what it looks like with flap just strapped up. Off trail I could just get the rear flap remove kit. Bit I am worried about over heating on the trail. I will post some pictures of the 165 on the 154 chassis. When I get it installed.

I'd like to see it. I've been thinking of doing this as well. I would also put a strap on the flap and would likely trim the flap shorter as well.

Talk to van amberg tunnels, they build some good bumper/ tunnel extensions as a one piece unit for these. 1 (509) 225-6681

Stretching the G4

One of my riding buddies stretched his G4 165" to a T3 174" track last year. No tunnel modification other then a trimmed snowflap, didn't have any temp issues.

Thanks for the heads up

I got a smoking deal on a 154.

You’ll be fine! Google the BRP Lynx sleds over in Sweden they just came out with their sleds with a short tunnel and longer track right from the factory. It’s the same tunnel as the Skidoo 850 also. Some of them have a “snow flap” thing connected to the rear bogeys.

My 154 with 165 track

Going to have to kick flap up. Ether with 2 straps or bend rear of tunnel. But fits better than I thought it would.

Guy I know but wrecked sleds and parts them out.

Payed 400 for track. Found some 165 rails here on slowest. Sold my 154 rails, cost me 500 for whole deal.

Sounds awesome

At idle and low rpm not loud. Crack the throttle and it sounds mean.
