My VK540V 2017

[weldion]

Fresh from the store.

Fresh tracks from the Cobra.

Added one more pair of idlers.

Nice conditions in April.

Perfect sled for some BBQ in May.

Some tools under the seat. Changed out the seal to a better quality one.

Added shovel holder, knife mount and reverse/working lights.

I'm renovating my sleigh for my VK540V. Will make some add-ons to the sleigh for hauling firewood, cargo and a backrest for a passenger. And of course paint it black. Nice with a extra taillight for visibility.

Soon it's ready.

Added a wooden box for bringing out firewood etc. Saved some area behind the box to keep two spare gas cans with extra fuel. Going to make some attachments for the cans so they are secured.
I'm going to make a backrest that will be remove-able. So I can bring passengers with me.
The box is attached to the sleigh with ordinary nuts and bolts and would be removed in 5 mins if needed.

I burned in the Yamaha logo into the wood of the sleigh.

Now the sleigh is complete. Now I just have to wait for snow to try all this out. Bring some firewood out to the cabins along the trail.

Awesome job! Looks great.

Hope Yellowknife sees this, they are always pulling boggans around.

Hi, was wondering why you added the extra set of idler wheels. Thanks

To reduce the hyfax wear to a minimum.

Weldion very nice!! Yes, I pull a 14 foot qamutik almost every trip as well. You can see it in my avatar in front of my green cabin. As you can see in that picture taken las March at -25 celcius not much snow, lots of rocks sometimes. So that is the type of snowmobiling. I liked the thread pictures. Here it is hilly so you can climb 600 - 700 foot hills over lakes, valleys hunting, low snow conditions but usually cold. What seat- where did you get a seat to change it from the original? Old seat was it too wide, uncomfortable??

I have the same seat as every other VK540V. No change there.

Where did you get the hard plastic cargo box? My dealer said there wasn't one that would fit.
