Nice! Looks like an awesome time you and your family are experiencing right now! Happy to see you guys! Take care!!

. .. and theeeen? What are you up to these days Nikolai?

New video to show the stumbling I'm having with the sled. I've looked through the harness, and came up empty, no obvious tearing or wear marks. I've disconnected the fuel rail and measured so that there are no broken wires there, even applied 12v and all of the 3 extra injectors pushed fuel...

Ah perhaps that is it, good idea Danne! .. Is yours ever making that sound?

Aaah, okok that makes some sense.. I've been hearing it from time to time, not being able to figure it out where it came from. The sled was hooked up to a battery charger at the time! .. still wonderous about the origin though, what is making the noice? Is it one of the relays? Is it the...

Soooo..... I have a question. What is the noice coming from the engine compartment as I engeage the ignition, and then again afterwards as I turn it of.? The clicking, sounding like the predator, that is.?

So here it is at it stands today the rear drop brackets are replaced with 4mm aluminum plates now instead of the steele ones in the picture below. And I've bought a new White Nytro hood to replace my broken blue one. In the lower picture you can allso see how narrow the side panels can get...

@edge_232, hehe thanks man! Feels great to hear!

And what of track you say? what track will I be riding this season? Not the Challenger Extreme , 144x15x2.5 (left) Not the PEAK 2.5 Multiduro, 153x16x2.5 (middle) But the Composit tracks Talon 66.6, 154x15x2.62 (right) It'll be interesting. The challander, I cant say that it impressed me. It...

Not quite the wheight saver route as Nikolai might have taken, but this season it'll do. :-)

@whitewheels, thanks :) . . although regarding the fairing project I've realized that to get it done and done looking good, and still get to ride this winter, I'll be taking a few steps back an putting back some of the Nytro shrouds. @edge_232, thanks! @Snowman871, thanks! @Sportsterdanne, some...

It's back, in black. Brought the sled to town with me, hopefully I'm gonna get some work done during the weeks now and not just every third.. . Currently I'm looking at the steering mechanism, considering either extending the steering colum and welding the linkage to it to acquire a direct...

Heey Danne, they are regular mild steel from Percus here in town. I've been thinking about using Docol but the flex offered by the mild steel vs. the rigid and more likely to crack if welded incorrectly Docol made me pick regular steel. I can't go removing weight from the sled, that would give...

Thanks for the encouraging comments guys, the lord knows there aren't that many of those here at home regarding my ideas :dunno:. . Anyhow, I'd thought that I'd show another of my makeshifts from the shop. My .02 cent tube bender, built to give me some frame and ground clearance. ...

Narrower, I've trimed them down so that they are narrower. Im not there yet regarding fit and finish, but Im getting somewhere..
