Oh yeah
. I wouldnt want that either. Isnt it a issue in the trees too? I know that one day we were lost up by Gwinn it would have been snagging brush and limbs when we had to go through some heavy brush to get to forest road.
Not sure if Turtle looked at this or not but the 2st Cats run intake as part of hood but the Headlight pod with Frogskinz is separate and has tubes built right in both side that go into the black plastic underneath. That Pod would go right on a Viper hood and I bet they are cheap. Of course would need right color. Black would be available. May try this on my NA. Great idea Turtle!

That's exactly what I used. But I got one from an 1100 turbo - which is the same one used on some of the 2st Cats. I got a black one, but you can also get them in white. Just remember, using this pod you have to use the gauge mount that comes with it and fabricate an adapter for the Yamaha gauge. Also the windshield mount changes. You can adapt the Yamaha windshield to fit by drilling a few new holes, or switch over to the windshields used on the 2st Cats which will bolt right up.
My setup came out great and I'm pleased with the results. An easier way to go is now to buy the instrument pod from the 2018+ Sindewinder mountain sleds. You get the same intake from the dash pod, but you don't have to monkey around with the gauge mount or windshield stuff.

Gotta let'em know you mean business or you'll have every chump with an exhaust can fucing with you. I love these guys who pull up to the gas pump nailing the throttle spinning studs on the pavement just so everyone can hear their exaust bark.
Just tool on in nice and slow, the intake does all the talking.....

So I pretty much wrapped this project up last night (I know - ultimate slacker here.....). Gauge mounting and windshield. So here you can see what I mentioned earlier about needing to change up the gauge mount. The dash pod with the intake built in has a completely different way of mounting the gauge. So I had to use that specific gauge mount and make an adapter to accommodate the Viper gauge and my turbo gauges. Then, because of the dash pod and gauge mount, you have to switch over to using a Cat 2 stroke windshield. Of course, all of this is not needed if you use the dash pod from the 2018+ mountain Sidewinder. That sled already has the intake built into the dash pod, and is made to use our current gauge and windshield.
Just with the sled running a bit in the garage ... AFR at idle hasn't changed (will watch this closely when I get out on the trail). With running the RPM up a few times you can here more intake noise. My first impression of that isn't bad at all. Has a nice growl to it. But my perspective on that could all change once I get a chance to really ride it.
For now, I'm calling this project done.....

Turned out great!! Live and learn. Who knew they they would make that update on the Sidewinders.
Awesome! Is the guage now adjustable position like the 2 strokes? If so this is better than stock or Winder!

Yes, the position of the gauge is adjustable. But with my turbo gauges and all the wiring associated, I can't adjust it much and I have it positioned pretty much just as stock. But if one had just the stock gauge alone (meaning no extra gauges) you could tip it back quite a bit making it way easier to see when stand up riding for boondocking and such.
Thats awesome! You might find at night its nice to aim it down a little so no glare and you can see better. Great Job! Now I have a project and some hope for a little more hp that hasnt been tried before. Thank You!
