Congrats!!! Post them up.

I sure will Mr Sled. On a side note, do you know what pressures are suppose to be in the rear shock? Never owned Fox floats. Trying to educate myself before Monday.

I actually looked at the manual and set them based on the low side of those settings. Its new to me too.

Beautiful sled. But there is a tiny speck of dirt on the front right shock, in the fourth thread down, just left of center. It's approximately .003"/inch, so get a magnifying glass!

It’s sprayed on bedliner, like used to protect beds of pickup trucks. Professionally Sprayed not a do it yourself thing.

Interesting.. have to see it on the sled.

Well, finally wrapped up the track swap and 8-tooth drivers and got everything else put on and assembled where I could show how that windshield looks. Got the SLP ice scratchers mounted up and used an idea of someone using an eye-bolt but it was on their ski mounted ice scratchers. I used stainless steel eye bolts and hardware and didn't have to drill any new holes; only had to enlarge one for the bolt that attaches ice scratcher to the rail. As for my GPS mount, I had it mounted on the handlebars on my 08 Apex and Nytro but this time decided to install on the dash so that it wouldn't block my view to the gauge pod. Of course, that new Apex windshield bag I purchased from Port Yamaha at the Novi Show will now have to find a new home but thinking it should fit fine on my 08 Apex.

The only thing left to install now is the white Skinz float plate which should also help offset the red a-arms and skis.

Those 18s are beautiful sleds!
What a shame we are looking at the end of an era.

Other than adjusting the air pressure in the rear shock for my rider weight and loosening the pressure on the front shock springs to allow the a-arms to be more parallel, I haven't really ventured from the stock settings. What all did you change?
