Tunnel cut to take a regular 850 Khaos 155" down to a 850 Khaos 155 slash.

[Steep&DeepRider]

I've watched the Mountain Sledder Garage YouTube video on this but he does a 155" slash and then cuts it down shorter.
In the video states you can do it to a regular 155" and seems pretty straightforward,, but my concern is the dimpled rib top aluminum part of the tunnel looking off or bad once cut.
Anyone done this and have any tips/pointers or any pictures of how it looks once done?

Here's a picture of him after cutting showing fitment but as you can see the raised portions on the top of the tunnel are my concern and how they'll marry up with that end aluminum piece from the tunnel that holds the snow flap and light

I cut a 165 down to a 146 basically. It’s two inches longer than the stock 146 slash. I’ll be running a 155 on it mid winter and swap the skid to a 146 late winter and spring.

I was concerned about the tunnel extrusions lining up too. It ended up not mattering to me. I know it’s not the best.
I should have used the small rivets. I also nicked the tunnel with the cut off wheel, so had to paint part of it. I’m also wrapping it. So, I wasn’t too worried. It was pretty fast, and SO much easier than a cut and weld job!

Sorry, they’re not the best pictures. It’s just what I have on my phone.

Videos don’t ever upload to snowest.

You can only link to videos

That doesn’t look bad I like how u pieced in a section of a tunnel stiffener.

I cut my Axys tunnel but I bought this kit from CR Racing in Kelowna BC that kinda turns the tunnel into a matryx slash. It is unbelievable strong

Are you talking about the aftermarket bumper that he cut down the side braces?

Ya that’s right. When I buy a bumper now all it is is a tunnel stiffener now days but we can call it a bumper ????

I agree 100%!!
I went with a T-Rex 155/bumper then I'll put on once I get this tunnel cut down

Nice.! Figure out how to post pics and put them up when your done

How far back do the tunnel coolers go on the non-slash? I know they're longer than on the slash, but would you need to cut them as well to shorten the tunnel?

I don’t think they go much further passed the seat

The heat exchanger goes back to where the rear bolts go through the tunnel from the suspension..

Slash sleds have the cooler stop just under the seat. Non slash sleds have the cooler extend about 12" past the back of the seat.

Got it done! Was simple and turned out great!!
