Well I'm finally getting around to posting my mods on my Nytro. I finally feel like I have the sled that wanted when I bought my Nytro.
The first mod and the one I don't have pictures of was the sway bar delete and the addition of Fox float 2 to the front end. Road the sled last year with this mod and loved it.
The other mod without pictures is the re-enforcment of my subframe. This has been covered to death so I don't need to rehash it.
The next mod was the snow scoop of a tunnel the nytro came with. Here is a picture of the finished tunnel. I added snow eliminators and chopped the tunnel down in the back. I also milled up a cool bumper and relocated the snow flap up.
The under tunnel exhaust came next. It's all stainless steel tubing and the muffler is carbon fiber. What you can't see it the silencer in the end of the pipe. I milled a piece of aluminum to reduce down to the inner pipe that is about 5 inces long. I was able to increase my CO settings to 4. It's deffinelty loader but not that bad. The response and power are definetly there.
Also you can kind of make out the plate I made to cover the stock exhaust hole in the tunnel. Bascially a trimmed up sheet of aluminum rivited in from the bottom. This way I didn't have to deal with the lip issue durring fabrication. This made a nice spot under the seat for a storage trunk. I added a top piece and a rear door complete with a DZUS fitting. Simple and turned out great. Oh and it does open furthure than the picture shows.
Next I went after the steering columb. I found a kit online to angle it forward six degrees but hey I have a CNC mill so I'll just make my own and save a few bucks. Sorry I don't have good pictures of it but it consits of two brackets one at the top and one at the bottom both with oil impregnated brass bushings to replace the factory plastic ones. So far I like the new position as I am tall and almost always ride standing.
In addition I installed the Mountain Tamer suspension. This is simply a must have if you own a Nytro. I can't say enough good things about the product. While I was there I cut down the axel and the spacers to make my two wheel conversion. Lastly was the Power Claw track.
I took a test ride this last weekend. Not alot of snow but it was more of a tuning day. So far everthing works as hoped. The sled rode great, I have no problem lifting the front end when I want to. More power and more power to the snow. Oh and the weight loss is SO NICE.
This should be it for this year. Maybe next year I'll be able to boost it. For now this will have to do. Have a great season all. [/url]
