CrazySledder's "Re-done" Supercharged Attak.

[FAMILYMAN]

Mine rubbed, then it stopped. 1-1/4 track. I think its the new track isnt bending all the way.

Couple passes and it quit??

I'm running the 144 x 1.5" Camoplast Crossover. I agree, I may just "rip those things out" and not worry about them. Maybe use the 1x.750" tubing for some other MOD? hehe...

[1CrazySledder]

Maybe with some help from Family and friends and some counseling, I may kick the habit for a month.....Naaa. I doubt it. lol

I'm cursed. My mind is constantly dreaming up new mods year round. Many of these never materialize, but I have many ideas. My head hurts most of the time. lol

I'll get allot of progress this month. I have to.

Hey Vince -- it's looking good. Ton of work you got into her.
Cut those protectors off and like you said "use 'em for something else". (mine became my seat bracket).
If you're rubbing as you turn by hand, you'll be rubbing for sure when it's turning under power and the track gets some throw.

 

[1CrazySledder]

A few more updates.....

Yellow tinted headlight installed,
Rear cooler installed
Chaincase back together
Stock Airbox re-installed so I could hear that sweat exhaust.

Kevin....what's going on? Yeah, I'm going to get them protectors pulled out of there this weekend. Nothing but Ice and snow to gling to.
Getting closer, I can't wait to run this beast.

Well, I got those protectors out today. Wasn't bad at all. Wish I would have done this when I had the drivers out. There are 2 holes per protector right above the drivers to drill out. OTHERWISE, you have to remove the entire exhaust system including the 4 flex pipes, then the plate under those 4 pipes. I would say you could get away with just removing the flex pipes, however, then you could not get the plate below them out with the headers installed.

Well, I got them out with the drivers and exhaust installed. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT ROUTE, I had used a pry bar and snapped the rivets using the protector itself as a point of pivot. It worked with out any damage to anything, but I can see where damage could happen doing it this way. One could damage the aluminum plate that the protectors are riveted to. I got lucky is all.

I have a few pictures below. I drew arrows to show which rivets to drill out to remove the tunnel protectors. The 4 up above the drivers, I just used a poker to show, of course with the protectors installed, you will obviously know which 4 to drill.....I also have a pic of the protectors with arrows on them as well to show the 4 holes to drill out.

I also threw in TECH TIP below when removing the gas tank.

I know allot of us know all this stuff, but I thought I would post this info anyway for those of you who do not.

P.S. 9000 HITS... I still have an awful lot to do yet. Should be interesting what the final view count will be. lol

LOL...It's not. The directional arrow is pointing towards the front of the sled when on top. Unless I wanted to go in reverse all the time? lol

It's the Camoplast Crossover 1.5 track, not a ripsaw.
