...its a good thing you took off that White Yamaha MUSIC tuning fork

Lame for sure! lol!

The air system fittings are laid out and the remaining solenoid brackets for the rear shock and air dump are complete. All I need to do now is make a bracket to mount the air compressor and I'll be ready to start measuring for the air lines to connect the system together. Not shown is a bleed orifice that will be installed on the dump solenoids at final assembly.

All those connections and no leaks you must be good looks good great way to organize

I ended up spending half a day working with a buddy on his sled. Between his schedule and mine, we decided that NOW was the time to get his sled ready. We changed the engine oil & filter, new chaincase oil and greased everything. We also installed copper exhaust donuts that we won at the Giveaway Ride back in January. Thanks again Tom for an awesome event and thanks again Muffin Works for the copper donuts!

When I made the plumbing for my Apex M20, I ended up with fittings and lines running every direction. That system has proved to be very reliable, but I needed a way to trim down on the number of fittings to make things more simple on the Vector. I've already replaced 3 tee's and 2 elbows with a cross fitting to tie the entire system together in one spot. The cross will mount just above the air compressor by means of a bolt that I tig welded to it. Hopefully I can make it up to the hydraulic shop tomorrow for the lines!

Air pressure gauge mount is complete. I tig welded a 1/8" pipe coupling to a piece of flat stock that hooks on the center brace of my Lake Effect riser. The hook keeps the bracket from turning on the mount. This is the final bracket that was needed to complete the system. It's finally time to start powder coating parts!

...stay tuned!

 

[Redbeard]

It's a beautiful day to powder coat!

It's starting to come together and look like a sled again.

The rear bumper and mini cooler protectors are installed. I changed the angle of the rear bumper and used pieces of the factory tunnel extrusions and rubber trim to tie everything together.
