Yeah, I'd say that sleds looks a 'lil customized. Nice work.

svensdream · Jan 22, 2009

brand new, from scratch, BIG thanx to curt at ftx for all the help, this wouldn,t have been possible with out him.

Looks great

that's insane

I remember seeing his prototype at the snow show a few years back. It was beautiful then. Looks like they refined it even more. A totally rigid chassis and very light. So....weighed it yet?

svensdream · Jan 22, 2009

haven't got a solid number but it's close to 430 to 440 ish.

curt has build several of these thingsover the years, no two are the same.

My freind... That sukker ROCKs

You tied that IQ tank into it really cleanly. The pipes are works of art!!

Beautiful build!

what kind of bike did the seat come from?

RMK4life · Jan 22, 2009

That is without a doubt the sickest sled that I have ever seen. Nice job!

Are you sure you want me to race that thing in Jackson this year? Should be able to keep her pinned most of the way up.

Looks like Honda to me! Nice job!!!

svensdream · Jan 23, 2009

the seat is off of a yamaha yz 250. forgot to mention the pipes are crankshop's.

I should also thank my wife for not devorcing me over this thing. lol

RYDPWDR · Jan 23, 2009

Love it, you did a great job and I hope it will be as fun to ride, very cool.

Awesome Pics

Excellent build! So how many of the parts on that monster are still orignal or stock with out being modified?

RMKdude · Jan 23, 2009

Other people say their sleds are "Homebuilt" with just a few mods on them.
That sled pretty much puts those to shame.

Nice sled with a good build on it. Should be a ripper!

svensdream · Jan 23, 2009

I wouldn,t say it's homebuilt, it was built in a full mod shop.

stock parts....I'll have to think.... motor internals are stock, for now. carbs are bored, ignition is stock, clutches, and the jackshaft... no thats been machined on, thats about it.

hilinerider · Jan 23, 2009

cool sled, wtr crft 1500?

long live trailing arms!

love the flap too

Spaarky · Jan 23, 2009

That sled is incredible. Someday, I am going to sell the wife and kids

so I can get Curt to build me a tube chasis. I just cant decide what I would put in for a motor.

How much of the build is Fastrax and how much is your work?
