Did a bit of powder coating to the an arms and rear bumper…lowers were a tad rusty. Also ordered a new windshield and it’s a match. Also installed oilite bushing kit. Emerald coatings wheel silver 2 and crystal clear. Left is original

Curious if the tunnel mounting points for the rear skid is the same on a 2016, 17, 18 is xtx 146 to 08 mtx ? I would like an apex with power steering and thinking of getting a xtx with a 146 and throwing in a 162 skid. Chaincase looks to be the same so a 2.5” track should fit with 7 tooth driver

Well projects been slow. I have it back together probably ride it a bit. Would anyone have a new windshield the same as this one? Is it still available? Part number shows it is

Anyone know a close match prismatic powder to coat the an arms?

Yeah for sure thanks …just thought I’d throw it out there first and see what laying around.

So I can’t seem to find the sockets I needed to remove the top gear. I did have a set from ulmer racing. Any chance somebody has a set in Canada I could buy?

I don’t think so. I have a sidewinder mtx and mountain max. Just keeping this one stock.

I just used a bit of aluminum polish. Like sled brite or mothers.

Coming along…just waiting for some parts now.

Interesting. Thanks. I did have a 2006 apex mtx. Didn’t seem to have issue. Ended up installing iceage rails on that one.

Staying the same as it looks just cleaning it up.

Well heading down the polishing rabbit hole.

Well I feel the whole Covid bs caused this …or our great leadership ….maybe it was inevitable. It’s hard to justify 30k plus for a new sled here in Canada. It’s unattainable for most let alone new people in the sport.

I wonder if they had all the colors and everything set and then Japan dropped the we are getting out of the sled business. It’s sounded to me like it was a surprise for all.

I just made my own Vapor blaster out of a used bench top sand blaster. Pretty cheap to do. Fine glass bead and water. Water sand drains to a pail below with sump pump that pumps the slurry I putty up the slider buttons on the primary so nothing gets between the buttons. But it sure cleans...

Coming along…going to start polishing the tunnel. Planning on try the zephyr 3 step process. See how that goes. May have to do some wet sanding first.

Almost finished Vapor blasting one side of the clutch. Cleans up nice.

Coming along. Magnesium sure likes to corrode. I’ll glass bead the chain case and see how it looks. If it’s not great I’ll probably powder coat it silver. I think I’m going to polish the belt cover, and tunnel. Not sure what else to do with it. Wet sand the rough spots and buff. I need to...

Planning to powder coat the chaincase and battery holder. Strip and powder coat the front an arms and any rear suspension pieces. Honestly it’s very good shape for a 16 year old sled. I’m excited.

I plan on cleaning it up …update repair anything that needs to be done. I wanted an apex like I used to have for trail days/hard pack conditions. Vapor blast the clutches, steering blocks, front suspension oilite bushings.
