Won't wreck that one!

Everything else on the sled may get totaled, but not the $80 heat exchanger LOL

 

[impalapower]

The $80 heat exchanger. For that price it should hold up to anything.

 

[stinx]

agreed

VERY NICE. NOW THATS HEAVEY DUTY. JUST ONE POINT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE. BE CARFULL WHEN YOU PUT IT IN REVERSE. IF YOUR SUSPENSION SQUATS THE TRACK WILL GRAB THOSE BRACKETS AT THE FRONT OF THE HEAT EXCHANGER. THE TEMP ONES I PUT IN LAST YEAR DID THAT TO ME, THATS WHY I EXTENDED THE EXISTING ONES ALL THE WAY BACK

George, if that happens, then I will make some more adjustments to the guard. I was most concerned with when the track is moving forwards. I wouldnt want it to ballon out and destroy the heat exchanger. I was also concerned if I was to ever land hard on the #*$&@ end of the sled. Yamaha should have installed these exchangers as a warranty item,the kit should also have included guards.

Looks like it wouldn't take much to turn it into a Reese hitch

I can use the guard as hitch when I tow my buddy;s broken down sleds out of the woods!! LOL

I finally got around to making one for my Warrior. I used an old tunnel protector from one of my MachZ's.
