Heres one of my 1200 Pros.

Ive built a couple now, Myself and a buddy ended up getting Jaws a pro RMK to build pipes off of. Theyre finishing them up as I type this. Im working on more engine plates for the PRO rmk triple swap.

Most fun sled ive built! Video is of my personal sled



CPI pipe sled with Diamond S mesh hood is a buddies I did for him

crank shop pipes sticking up is my sled. They completely screwed me over on these pipes that why im working with jaws now and it will have a brand new set of their pipes this winter.

I have a set of crank shops for a prox/edge I'd sellIMG_20191011_213226554.jpg... This was a picture of them before paint, they're black now. Need a taller hood to fit.

Also a set of crank shops for a pro rmk

Finally after ten years i have time to put motor in one piece and fitting to chassis. Couple questions; which way you guys have routed that coolant hose from front cooler? And what have you done to steering post with Brad's motor plate, mine is hitting to cylinder head? Iqr chassis.

I wish people built mod sleds still. These along with other variants are super cool. Today a wrap, shocks, can, and fuel programing and its a "mod". Don't get me wrong, I do all that on my riding sled (minus the wrap). It's just not the same.

I understand the sport has changed and hillblimbing is basically dead and tree riding/hop overs are now king. I just really miss the ingenuity of true Mod sleds.

I still work on mine from time to time. Think I might tunnel cut it next. Really want to cut my pipes and fit them correctly.
I have a new set of rack carbs to try too
Oh and I found a new lynx track to try but waiting on 3.5 drivers

I haven't been on this thead in a loooong while.

What is your issue with your pipe fitment?
The 3.5 pitch drivers, what size shaft are they for and who's making them? Avid?

I cheapest out buying pipes and someone had a set of slp twins plus one going out the clutch side. It really bothers me and it sounds funny cause they are far apart
Yep avids but on a cmx shaft. 1-1/4 I beleive
