Thanks, guys!. My wife usually doesn't say too much anymore when I tear into something like this, she's pretty much used to it.
As soon as I scrounge up an air riveter, I'll really start hammering it back together. Hopefully this weekend, it'll be sitting back on the ground with all the major components assembled.

Nice having an understanding wife. An air rivet gun is a good idea, make sure you get hold of good quality rivets like them used by Yamaha.

Nate man am I glad I do not live by you , I would catch this disease and loose every spare minute and $ I had. LOL

THis sled is going to be awesome. I hope to see it at some ty ride this year.

WOW that is alot of work, and you must know your stuff.

Good luck putting it back together.

I be careful saying that I know my $#1t!
1. my head might get too big, and 2. It may never run again!! lol...
Thanks for the compliments, its alot of fun to be able to share our projects, and hopefully it inspires a few more.
I'm going to try to make as many TY rides this year as I can. Hopefully at least 2. If we have crappy snow here, I may just leave my sleds somewhere up north, so I dont have to trailer them as far.
Im planning the Mercer ride, and I'd like to hit 2 Muni rides, but we'll see how the $$ situation looks.
More pics coming soon, This weekend should be good for some progress..

Keep us posted, Nate. Looks like this one is going to be AWESOME! Just what we need, more motivation to mod our sleds! LOL, I'll just forward my wife's complaints to your email address... what is it again???

AREN'T THEY ALL


Mine just shakes her head and says..........AGAIN

 

[nate007]

Yep, only mine doesn't say "again?" Most all of my projects just run together, and you can't tell where one ends and the other begins...

 

[1CrazySledder]

Sweet for sure. Now, get that thing back together so we can see the finished look!!

 

[BOUNTYHUNTER]

Sweet for sure. Now, get that thing back together so we can see the finished look!!

....ABSOLUTELY

 

[nate007]

Got to work on it for a few hours Friday. Most if this is just mock up, so I'm sure there will be a few folks finding things that arent quite right yet..

 

[Yamaha Man]

how you coming buddy???

 

[nate007]

Skid's back in, front end is going together but I messed up one of the bushings putting the lower A-arm on. I'll put it together anyway, and order a new one.
Shocks should be back from Pioneer within a few days, adn I'm working on prepping the plastic for paint this weekend (if I get the time)
After that, I just have to go every everything and make sure its tight and adjusted properly. My main concern is getting the clutches aligned properly, so I don't have anymore trashed sheaves.
I might not hammer too hard on it for the next couple weeks, my new business is getting off the ground, and that will be taking a huge ammount of my time. I might see if i can get a buddy or two to help get it back together, but we'll see....

 

[1CrazySledder]

WHAT! Messed up a bushing? How did you do that?
