Ok, cool! I just saw the $1500 price on the link, wasn't aware HF had a $60 model. Yeah, go for it.

Or buy something like this. This is all I have used on my sled and it works beautifully.

I may have met you at one point in time, Mr Knapp. There was some turbo Nytro with a conical air filter at the Novi show years ago that held an asphalt record. May have been yours. I also met Tim Bender and Olav Aaen back in the day. All very nice people. Have much respect for your...

True. I removed my tunnel protectors to get rid of 50lbs of ice they used to hold.

Yes, I realize that and I do indeed appreciate your input and conversation. The gas tanks used to be in the front of some of our sleds way back a long time ago. Wasn't ideal for sure!

I often think weights are overrated. When my tank is nearly dry, my sled technically weighs 50lbs less than when full. Never have noticed the difference between an empty and full tank.

Maxsled.com, years ago, performed a similar "wet weight chalenge" where they weighed a bunch of new sleds. The RX, RS models came in at around 660lbs wet. So they weren't all they piggy! Actually they weighed about the same as Cat's 2s twin spar sleds according to the article, which seemingly...

You know what, there is a way to get the speedometer on a carbed Vector to cycle and light up without turning the engine on. I read this on here years ago, and it worked! I don't recall the exact procedure, but I think it involved holding down thumb, hand warmers...whatever it was, it did...

Obvious questions: When was it last started? Battery condition? It will not turn over at all? Did it simply "die" on the trail at one point and will no longer start?

Perhaps try calling Travis at Barn of Parts. He likely has both in stock and can let you know if the older one is a direct bolt on.

You obviously take the right precautions at the end of the season to prevent pilot jets from gumming up due to stale fuel in the off season. I keep fuel in mine so I sometimes have had to clean the pilots after storage, but using a good fuel treatment plus non ethanol fuel has all but...

I found it rather interesting that they ditched the TCL, coupled design on the short track. That means no slide action front arm, as evident by the video.

Yes, other than throttle response I am quite pleased with the performance. I did drop gearing down to 20/39 a few years back, but changed it back to stock gearing as I was trying different belts and wanted to establish a baseline that I was more familiar with. Ended up going back to the 8dn...

It does add hp, but only after about 7500rpm, and it is right around 7hp on top, which allows the engine to spin a few hundred rpm higher than stock. But low end power is softer. So spinning at 8800 to 8900 rpm now. Stock it was easily a 104 to 108 mph sled on the speedometer in good...

Yeah, I have the header on mine, only because my stock exhaust tore itself in half years ago. My own fault for that one. Also have the green Holtzman carb springs and Ulmer clutching. The header added nothing, same with the carb springs. Ulmer clutching is the way to go, though. Spot on...

Exactly, I hope to have legit dyno records from them, until that all is just speculation.

No, I am not at all interested in keeping up with 800s or other 150hp sleds. My Vector holds its own against the current 600 group I ride with. It trumps our 600 VES Edge, 600 cfi IQ, 600 cfi ProRide, and 600 Sabercat. The 600 Sabercat and I top out almost exactly the same, but I tend to jump...

Tried to call their lines today, no answer. Maybe next fall

No idea, never heard of this before but someone on here posted a link to their website so I looked around and found the intake mod. Almost tempting, isn't it?
