Curious,
Did you have to drill new location holes in the tunnel to adapt the R-motion in the Yammie?

I hope not. That pic with my knee is sitting with my tank bag in my crotch.

The rMotion bolted into the original holes. Rear links on the skid have to be machined to fit, though.

After having some cooling issues late last season, I added a cooler in the tunnel and made a vent for the hood. I’ve made another vent for the dash, but decided not to install it because it would allow air to bypass the radiator. Also made a nice long snow flap to help deflect more snow onto the track for cooling the heat exchangers. Also added 120 screw studs, and SnowThrower reversible ski mounted ice scratchers. There. Now I’m done. Maybe.

I couldn’t stop myself. More changes. This year there were a number of changes made. I machined myself a set of oilite a-arm bushings, and rebuilt the Skinz Concept suspension. Now it’s back to being tight and right.
Also, the rear suspension got some love. I machined rail extensions to make the rMotion skid fit in a 128” track with 9 tooth drivers, then relocated the skid and installed a 136 x 1.5” track. I made the tunnel extension , and put a led light above the snowflap so I could add Linq mounts that I 3d printed in ABS, and attachments 3d printed in TPU. I mixed some powder coat colors to get a fairly close yellow match, and coated some parts. Also machined a custom axle to fit 3 wheels between the rails.
Out front, I swapped the blue C&A pro ADX skis for yellow XT snocross skis.
