I'm glad I saw this. I bought a new house and shop this summer that came with a 2 post. I have been thinking about building something that allows me to work off only one post so I don't have to walk around it. Is this what you are talking about here? Pics?

Insurance gave me $7k to fix it. So naturally, I went and bought a new sled instead and am letting this one sit in the shed :) Don't worry I'll fix it eventually and turn it into my "trail sled". The owner of Racewerx was selling his '15 viper with 0 miles on it. Some of you may have seen it at...

I had the Shock Guru rebuild my floats for me, went up to the U.P. with my wife for our first ride of the season. Got 30 miles and all hell broke loose. While pulling a wheelie, from what I can figure, the rear arm of my timbersled skid failed. The whole skid moved to the front of the sled, both...

Ok, so I have not updated in a year. Many things changed and I had a bit of an issue. First off I got a mtn fit hood (more like horrible fit hood). Took a couple days to make it fit and I built a LED headlight mount. The lights took a lot of research to find the best fit for me. If you're...

Congrats - I also came off a nytro and went to the viper. Handling is 100x different. My only gripe about my viper is it's kind of a pooch only does 60mph. 3 inch track is a real power robber. 270hp coming this fall tho.

My plan is to run it this way for the rest of the year, I only have 2 more trips planned, hopefully 3, and then put the spherical bearings in them after. I'll run it through its full travel friday and check for any issues. If need be, I'll figure something out sooner. Our snow pack in Minnesota...

Allan, I really appreciate the insight, especially from someone who knows a heck of a lot more about this than I do! Its going on the stand this weekend and I'll go over it with a fine tooth comb to check for paint cracks or any sign of binding. I never thought to take the air out of the shocks...

Radiator delete: To drop a little weight, cool the engine bay, and move some weight from the front to the back I made a radiator delete kit. Ordered a bottle from MPI for $25 and made the rest. The sled already had an MPI under tunnel cooling tubes, but I didn't trust that to be enough cooling...

I've built now, what I'm hoping to be the last tunnel extension. Third time is the charm. I went with a thinner alum. but it is now 6061 instead of the more flexible 5052. The extension is .080 and bumpers are .125 and its pretty sturdy now. I also shortened the overall length of the tunnel by 4...

Installing the a-arms: There are a few things I disliked about the Skinz front end, first of all, I don't like the fact they they want you to buy a new set of $1000+ shocks from them just to move them forward and change the angle. My floats were just gone through and work fine. I did what they...

I bought a set of Skinz a-arms to try in place of my Timbersleds (bark busters are now for sale), but the only problem is that skinz used the factory spindles and mine were both cracked where the skis bolt on. I called skinz to see if I could use the timbersled spindles that I already have and...

I bought all the stuff well over a month ago from him in separate parts on different occasions so I don't remember exactly what the prices were. It would come with injectors and harnesses, new PC5 box with 2 map sensors and all the wiring premade so its plug and play and a new charge tube to...

Its been a while since I updated on here. I installed the engine, got it to fire and shut if off right away since I don't have coolant in it yet. I dumped the old fuel controller and went with Push Turbo's new version of the DynoJet Power Commander PC5 paired up with Deatschwerks 450cc big...

I have race-gas additive in my turbo nytro right now. It does work but it takes a lot and it ends up being more expensive than race fuel from the pump. It would be a lot better carrying that with you if you're stuck with only 87 somewhere. The other octane boosters you buy at auto parts stores...
