Purchased it last spring. Rode for about 15 miles, and took it apart.
Getting close now, As always it will be a ongoing project.

Some tear down pics and exhaust mods

 

[DV8]

Lake Effect 5" Riser and pivot. Pro Taper Bars. Skinz Handguards.
Extended Braided brake line. Still waiting on the longer choke and throttle cables to come in.

Going with Orange, Parts are out for powder coat. Took all the yellow graphics off.

Also doing under tunnel exhaust.

Got the Muffin Works tunnel extension in and almost completed,

Wire's all under the hood.

Just got in Ulmer bushing kit for the front end.

Some exhaust done, 1200 degree ceramic paint on the flex joints and header. Welded up the end for under tunnel exhaust.
Curious on how the paint will hold up.

New exhaust donuts in, and modified the clamps to hold tighter.

Fuel injection motors sure easy to live with but nothing IMO looks cooler than seeing four carbs in a row like in your first picture.

What are going to do about a seat? Apex? G.B.

Looking really good, like G.B. said, Apex seat, much better seating position, and easier to go from sitting to standing, also better on long rides, and some storage.

4 carbs in a row just looks tough, IMO. =)

I do love the response FI has though.

Thinking about the Apex seat, Since the stock one has zero storage.

I do like the look of the Boss Mtn. seat. But that might have to wait til next season. There is a couple swap meets here in the next couple weeks I am going to try and find a Apex seat.

Still need to find some wider ski's and maybe a different track. Not sure how the 1.25 ripsaw will do in the off trail stuff. I would like to find a 1.75 track.

I plan to go 144 next year so i might just wait a season and save my $.

An Apex seat is the best mod for these RX/RS sleds. Look for either a Apex Mountain or 06/07 Nytro seat. Both of these seats have firmer foam than a standard Apex seat. I put on a Apex Mountain seat on my Rage last year and the difference is just awesome. G.B.

 

[DV8]

I will have to look for that Apex Mtn Seat. I like that idea.

Parts came in, Like a mini Christmas...lol

And Powder Coat is back.

 

[DV8]

Got most of the Skid back together. Have to get slides yet and a few other things.

I like the Ulmer bushings, But they are a pain in the @#$ to get in.
I am glad I took it all apart. At 4000 miles the stock bushings were wasted. I had to order all new bolts and pins, The stock ones already had wear on them. The Ulmers are very tight, Took a little massaging to get them all in. But wow it made everything nice and tight.
