sled is almost done...........

[MORSNO]

LMAO...you ever seen a girl give money vrs take money..all I heard over there was bring lots of booze if ya want girls to ride with ya...yeah sled came out pretty good..hopefully will get the last few things done on it and be riding this coming weekend....WE ride Eureka alot..(cabins 50 miles in) and the whole reason for the tunnel reinforcment is due to pulling sleds(had done a reinforcment before but when I tore it down to do the drop and roll I could see where it was starting to bow the tunnel again..so figured I better get it fixed..)

Ya, Ive seen pics that you've posted from your "secret backcountry area" up there. Hopefully Eureka gets some snow, its been a few years since they've had tons of snow. Once again great build...one of kind fabricating there!

Mike, the machine looks great. As far as the tank, it may be fugly, but
it's practical for what you do.

I agree. Function should always beat form. Nice build!

 

[CATKILLER]

Hey aksnowrider, i also have a clear trail tank on my all black rmk and thought it was ugly so i called trail tank and talked to a guy and they have wraps pre done and cut for the tanks. they come in black vinal with a clear opening on the left side so you can still see how much fuel you have and is also numbered with gallon marks. so call trail tanks and order a kit so you can keep the sweet tank. but i know how you feel it sure is ugly as clear

am not sure if your sled would make it to there..might build up too much snow....lol..yes I will big guy...but it is a fact that snow doesnt stick to pc near as bad..which is why the boards and rails got coated....the normal loop i do to and from the cabin alone is a 120 mile ride..normally go in friday nite..come out sunday we get 300-500 miles on.....
