Just sent you the link to the DXF files. Hope there is something there you can use.

Ha ha. Thanks. I know it's a big achievement, however what I didn't talk about is the countless design and CAD hours I put in before diving in to this one. I took design ideas from all over on this. I like that Polaris braces the from mount, but you see so many Pros with bent tunnels. I felt...

Thanks! It's getting a bit better everyday I tweak it. The warm weather has rolled in, so it's looking like I may be done after this week. Thank you! While I designed it with a straight pipe for mountain use (weight saving, simple), I did trail ride it this weekend. I'd say it's no louder...

I filled it up with fluids, which was no easy task. It took some effort to prime the oil pump again, but eventually got most of the bubbles out. With all the fluids in, I and took the true weight; Clutch side; 170.2lbs Exhaust side; 178.2lbs Skid (at rear idlers) 143.0lbs For a total true...

Thanks! I must have brushed over that part earlier. I didn't really catch any picture of the coolant plumbing part, as it's kind of boring. I've always been a big fan of liquid ICs, and figured what better way to cool it, then to use the bulkhead cooler. Thank you! I'm hoping it throws a few...

No pictures today, but I built an extension to make up the area between the track and rear bumper. At this point it's basically ready to ride. Dry weight numbers as measured last night are; Clutch side; 162.6lbs Exhaust side; 169.2lbs Skid (at rear idlers) 139.6lbs For a total dry weight of...

Big weekend of building. Friday night; Nose cone, bumper, support, IC pump mounted. Saturday; Oil Tank in. IC mounted. Most of the wiring in place. Exhaust and up pipe in. Started the coolant plumbing. Sunday; Turbo in. Aux. pump, and fuel lines hooked up. Tank on. Finished the...

Thanks! It's getting closer. Suspension & steering in. Engine mounted. Pyramid on. Drivetrain mocked up. We just got a decent bit of snow these past few days, so I might actually be able to get it out to test / tune before spring. The plan for this weekend, is to get it most of the way...

Got a call from the powdercoaters right before I left work last night, letting me know the tunnel and bulkhead were done. So, I spent the night putting the boards and bulkhead on the tunnel, as well as assembling the pyramid structure. Tonights plan is to try and get the motor / drivetrain...

Took off from work early to finish up some parts. Welded out the boards, pyramid mount and intake manifold. Painted / coated some parts. Because I wanted to be able to repair the coating on the boards, I used an etching primer and high temp satin paint, as a base. I coated the running board...

Thanks! It's been quite the project so far. Another busy weekend; Built the rear braces. Basically a piece of flat bar, milled to accept the tunnel profile. I turned down a piece of round stock to fit inside the tube I'll be using for the main brace, then slash cut it to fit the angle I...

Thanks! Honestly, picking up a set of IQ or Pro coolers makes the job so simple. Everything just slides together perfect, and there is no bending required. Past few days have have been busy. Built lower bumper support (with pump mount), bent up the IC mounts, fab'd cold side piping, and tacked...

Started on the bumper;

Thanks! I'm super happy with how they turned out, so far. Thanks. And what a coincidence, I was building oil tank brackets last night. Monday; Built the oil tank brackets, the bracket for the ECU & RBR. BTW, the hot side charge tube in the picture; from an old DSM. I love being able to go...

Wednesday; I mocked up the pyramid structure, and began tack welding the support brackets in place. Thursday; Finished up the pyramid structure, and mocked up the handlebars. And the hood fits nice! Friday; I picked up the exhaust flanges I had laser cut. Volvo spec TD04 Turbo's have a...
