I don’t always drink Moosehead Lager BUT when I do it’s Yooper style. Up on the roof with snow shoes. Stay thirsty my TY friends. Stay thirsty.

Better add some more snow, I don't think you are going to clear that vent and bonus points if you can straighten the antenna as you fly by.
 
What project are you working on?
After destroying my slims jims on Old Forges trails a few weeks ago and 15 miles of virtually bare rock clay road, I noticed some clicking up front. The rear a arm attaching points bushings (pressed in oilite or bronze..nice job, cat!) top and bottom, and the shock bushings were making the noise. Some grease would have stopped it. And the swaybar was slop...4 inches before it would pull on the other shock spring! So, I used my tried and true cob job when things arent worn much..heat the bushings, heat vinyl tape, and stretch it to a few thousandths, press it on and trim until I get a super snug fit. It will last at least a thousand miles, and there wasnt much wear at all so new stuff wouldnt be much better. Then coat the bushings with PTFE teflon grease. Very sticky stuff. Honestly, the front was never this tight..not a sound from any movement. Then took the steering apart...you touch the handlebar and it floats to opposite lock slick as grease!! Its actually a well built front end. Ive done this to my apex and vector and they handled great. Swaybar is the key...cant have no play, as the sled will roll then the swaybar pulls making erratic handling. Has to pull right away like any car or truck bar would. Im usually the handler fixer for evil handling sleds!! lol
Someday Ill get my little lathe and make my own custom.
