if someone is thinking of a WC setup id consider selling my prox 1200 VES.
I have enough parts to make a set of carbs, or send me 2 pairs and I can get it done..
I don't think there is enough room for pipes under the wedge hood?
Side note
Did three pulls on my ol 1200 yesterday! Forgot earplugs and my ears still ringing!
Tried to drag race an axys and lost, just barely. My 166 track wouldn't hook up where his 163 x 3" had nothing but hook up.
I made a way sweeter tail walk coming over the top

It's been over a year since my membership expired and I wasn't to concerned about it till I saw new posts on this thread :face-icon-small-con this thread I can't ignore. :face-icon-small-win
I wish I would have had a pic to further validate your return Jay! Your bottom quote from bill made me laugh pretty hard!
Hi Josh, ya when I read that advice in one of his threads it made me laugh. Don't you hate racing guys like that? :face-icon-small-con
I was thinking of parting out my sled, if I can get enough interest in parts ill pull it down!
Hardass & MattyMac what parts are available?
Ill get a hold of Kyle and see what he wamnts to do I think he has every thing cases cylinders crank carbs all of it
ok. The period is just there to make snowest happy. :face-icon-small-con
Mine is up now with the giant SLP pipes, one pipe goes over the clutch guard
The engine compartment is alittle crowded.Sled runs completely straight but these need the runningboards bolted better to the bulkhead and I left the 1993 Xlt runningboard coolers just bolted everything better together making it super stiff. Chassis is completely stiff now and sled runs straight. Motorplate is (I Guess Brad would make an better one) four stock straps (or maybe 2 rxl) with an 9mm alu plate on top and welded everything together, the machineshop was able to deck (cut) the face of the plate after the warpage
. And it is silent! I built an exhaust can, hole thru the can is same area as all three of the stingers combined and three baffles, exhaust is sig-sag-sig-sag and out, that brakes the sound waves. Now the airsound is taking over but i would try to make an airbox the same way.

Oh well i just moved it to the side, drilled new bolt holes, then of course handlebar is not straight but these stems are so light and thin I just bendt it straight easlily by hand
looks great! wedges always look real nice! I have the same pipe setup but my center pipe is too close to my mag cyl and has now ruined that ves mount bolt
You should dent that pipe a little, use big hammer or sledge and little by little tap a smooth dent over a bigger area. I had to do it, pto cylinder was rubbed alittle.

Airbox
These motors seem to need some sort of cold air intake. When pipes are cold the sled is soo snappy and fresh but when all those pipes gets hot those carbs are fed that hot air.. It is a dawg. There seems to be alot left on the table there. Thats the next step for me, building an airbox.
