This weekend a new owner of a stock 2009 Nytro MTX was asking me about the changes I have made to my sled (2008 40th Anniversary).
He wanted to know the cost of my weight reductions on a dollar per pound basis. I hadn’t really thought of it that way so I went home and figured it out. Some of the results kind of surprised me.
Since I was already looking into this I did some fast research and found some additional products, weight savings, and costs for him to consider.
Perhaps some of you who are thinking about new modifications would be interested in this.
Here’s the list so far. Please don’t beat me up on costs listed – I don’t have time to comparison shop so the costs should be considered average prices.
The lists does not consider performance benefits, product quality or reliability, manufacture’s service record… Just price and diet success.
I know that there are a lot of other great products out there. It would be great if others could add to this list:
Timbersled Barkbuster front end = 9 lbs @ $950 = $105.55 per pound
West Coast front end kit = 9lbs @ $799 = $88.77 per pound
CR Racing A-arms = 8lbs @ $750 = $93.75 per pound
Fox Float2 front shocks = 6 lbs @ $695 = $115.83 per pound
Skinz SuperQ Exhaust (+3-4hp) = 7.5 lbs @ $249.00 = $33.20 per pound
Skinz UltraQ Exhaust (+3-4hp) = 7.5 lbs @ $289.00 = $38.53 per pound
Ulmer Racing Exhaust (+8hp) = 8lbs @ $850 = $106.00 per pound
Schmidt Bros. Exhaust (+4-6hp) = 7lbs @ $699 = $100.00 per pound
CR Racing Dump Kit exhaust = 7lbs @ $300 = $42.86 per pound
MPI Exhaust = 11lbs @ $319 = $29.00 per pound
Timbersled Mtn. Tamer suspension = 30 lbs @ $1,550 = $51.66 per pound
Timbersled drop brackets = 8 lbs @ $150 = $18.75 per pound
CR Racing drop brackets = 6lbs @ $140 = $23.33 per pound
Sway bar delete (2008 – 2009 MTX apx.) = 3 lbs @ no cost
Yuasa YTZ10S battery = 10lbs @ $135 = 13.50 per pound
Yuasa YTZ7S battery = 12lbs @ $135 = $11.25 per pound
Diamond S tunnel = 22lbs @ $ ? = $ per pound
