I started this project during last summer but havent had time to get my pictures up here on ty untill now.. Will not write much just try to upload the images..
Stuff I still havent done
- New handlebars (matching ski color)
- Killswitch from OFT (hook me up with a good deal
- Supercharger (need to find something used, cant justify the cost of a new one)
Everything started with my rear linkage breaking within the first month of owning the sled and the track lugs snapping like twiggs..
Quick fix
Then issues with snow on the footsteps
