I'm still using a 1998 Mountain Max cover... What TIGHT #*$&@!!!! :)

Thanks guys... I made a deal for Rigidone's track. Appreciate the responses.

Snapped a torque arm at the cross country race in Grand Forks over the weekend. The jagged ends of the broken tubing knocked chunks out of my drive lugs. Anyone have a used track they are interested in peddling? It's getting towards the end of the race season and I'm getting tapped-out on...

The XL 540 was given to me by a cousin and it's totally a ghetto, budget racer. I made the handlebar riser out of the steering post from a Breeze ATV. The bars are '06 Apex bars given to me by Corey Davidson. The only thing new on the whole sled are the rear shocks (Kimpex!), ski skins, and...

It's been awhile... Been busy racing the Phazer and things are going well! Currently sitting 4th in points in the Sport 85 class. Check out my new website www.pinkribbonracing.com for race info, breast cancer stories, some cool photos, and great links! (TY is linked there too!) Enjoy these...

I wonder what the potential of survival was if you ever fell off that thing while it was moving? Hmm, is that deer sausage or uncle Ned?

"What wins on Sunday sells on Monday" just doesn't fly anymore, especially with sleds. If that were still true, Arctic Cat would be so far in first place no one could touch them after their total dominance in racing in the mid-late '90s and early 2000s. Think about the sheer number of races Team...

I took out the stock one and put a 15mm Nytro in. I didn't notice a huge benefit. if anything, it lost some bump compliance if you land crooked.

Yes, I'd rather buy one of our race sleds then some of the junk I see being traded in at dealers. The first thing I do Monday after a race is tear the sled to the ground and check everything over. A lot of trail sleds never even see the skid removed, unless the hyfax needs changing.

Ha! Yeah, I realized that about two seconds after I hit send. The avatar is a hell of a lot better looking than him anyway! :)

I am just going to keep plugging along for donations. The way I came up with the $2000, is when I was at Duluth this year, Teams Amsoil raised about $5000 for Jody and I figured that was a whole team. if I could do $2000+, I would be happy with that. Plus, I don't have the fundraising experience...

The hole where air passes through to the radiator is where the screen goes. Below that hole is the seam for the side cover and that has very poor fit and finish and snow and ice will leak through there and turn your radiator into an ice cube. What I meant by the temp light is that the sensor...

1. The fan works only when the motor runs. It's not like the fan on, say, my FJR1300, which turns on when you turn the key on, if it's hot enough. 2. When the motor is running, you should be able to look in the vent on the side panel and see the fan turning. You can hear it too. 3. If you add...

Here is my torque arm fix for the I-500. Didn't want to have any problems. I used 2 1/2" x 1/8" mild steel flat. First, I just bent four pieces of material in close to perfect "U" shapes. I bent it cold, but you could use heat as well. I found a piece of schedule 40 tube the same size as the...

I tried the 15mm sway bar from the Nytro. Helps a little. The only thing I noticed is that when the body rolls over center the ski lift is a lot more violent than with the 14mm bar. Of course, I'm running my limiter on the second hole from the bottom for XC racing. You wouldn't run that...

Did a track swap and reassembled everything exactly how it was. Initially, the reverse worked great. Went out today and put about 160 miles on and towards the end of the day the reverse wouldn't work. I'd push the button, the "R" light would come on and the beeper went off, but when I'd push the...

The I-500 is coming up. I am still looking to reach my $2000 goal by the end of the season. Currently, I am sitting at about $500, so I have a ways to go. Thank you, to everyone who has helped out so far. I know times are tough, but even a couple of bucks helps out. See the link above on the...

Contact Carver Performance and talk to Mike: http://www.carverperformance.com/ He is a shock guru and can get you set up. I was just up there today and looked at the Fox shock he sells for the Phazer while I was waiting for mine to get rebuilt for the I-500. They are a nice 2" body that...

Here is some footage of Jim Urquhart from Sno-X magazine wadding up his Phazer on the USCC Grafton 100 course. Gives you a little bit of an idea of the different terrain and how rough it can get. This was only the second race that day and it was already pretty dug-out. This is one complete lap...
