Summer build

Thanks guys! It was a ton of work and still have a few little issues to work out but you get the idea. Should be a real runner once i get it on the snow.

I will continue updates as time goes and will also post pics under the hood as there is some bling under there as well. Now its caleb's turn, dont worry guys, it wont be long!!!!
 
Awesome looking sled!

I checked the whole thread but I couldn't find the specifics on what pivot adapter, riser and bars you are running... care to elaborate on that?

I have the OFT relocator and would like to swap the stock riser for something like what you have...

Thanks for the pics!

I used FLY 5" risers with fly aero taper bars, with RSI 7" grips and RSI handwarmers

How tall are you? I am putting a similar set up on my nytro and with a 8" riser, maybe to tall.
 
He's pretty short, 6' 7" haha. I'm 6' 0" and have the exact same setup except for a 3" riser and it feels perfect to me.

The OFT relocate and RTX post combined move the post forward and up enough that you don't need nearly as tall of a riser. The RTX post is about 1.25" taller than the MTX post and Fly bars have around 3.25" of rise.
 
Tunnel Hardware

The sled looks really awesome. Can't wait till I can afford to have a Nytro. I was wondering about the hardware you used on the rails. My mountain max has no traction at all. The fasteners you used on the running boards looks cool and looks like it would be great for traction. I am just not quite sure what it is. It looks like it sits flush on the bottom and i would need something like that because of the heat exhangers on the bottom of the rails. Thanks
 
Great looking sleds !!! ;)! ;)!

I am also 6'-0" and i am thinking of changing out my current pivot block and riser which equal around 9" total (6" riser block and 3" pivot riser)
If i understand you, with the OFT relocator and a 3" riser and mountain bars that have a 3 1/4" rise it feels about right to you.
the only difference between what you are running and and what i am planning on running would be the RTX steering post. Are you sure they RTX is 1 3/4" taller then the MTX??
I am trying to to decide whether to go with a 4" or 3" riser. If in fact there is that much difference in post heights between the RTX and MTX i better go with the 4" rise.

Just add my 2 cents i also had problems with a gunnar tether. then must of had a bad product run or something. I did some reasearch and Gunnar sounded like the way to go.
 
They're countersunk 8-32 structural screws from the local aviation store. Unbelievable traction and the boards clear surprisingly well with the 1" holes. I like my setup a lot more than the better boards I had.

As for the Gunnar, I'm going to wire it into a relay so hopefully I won't have any issues.

The RTX post pivot point is about the same as an MTX post with a Powermadd Pivot adapter which adds 1.25". I couldn't really tell you exactly what to get as my sled sits quite a bit different from Drews. At one point he had a 3" riser on his(exact same bar setup as me now) and my bars felt higher. I think it's cause my tunnel sits fairly level to the ground vs. having a big kickup. A stock MTX has a fair amount of kickup so you might want to try the 4" riser.
 
I'll get some measurements later from the running boards to the handlebars, maybe that will be more help.
 
I'll be done today but here's a few pics before I put the plastic on.

Used the single white TORS connector on the one down by the ECU and grounded it to same place right below the coolant bottle. Now I can play with the CO's

filed a slot in the brake ressi so I could run the handwarmer wire through it

The CR throttle block doesn't allow you to use any kind of retaining clip on the throttle cable, just throttle tension. Obviously this doesn't work for me...so I used safety wire and drilled two tiny holes in the throttle block. Wrapped the wire around the cable, then twisted it tight and put it through the block where it's wrapped again and folded out of the way. Now way in hell it's ever coming out.

robbed the aluminum reinforcements from the factory bottom plate and riveted them to the skid plate which is all I'm going to use.
