Looks like your doing a great job keep it up and you'll be on the snow before you know it.

It's looking great. Good thing about projects is that it makes summer go by fast.

Keep it up!

Don't forget the snowflap, they look kinda retarded without them. Oh wait, need to do that to my son's 600 also.

Ditch the stock seat, get a used lighter one. Turn your rack 90* and lengthen the rods so you'll have actual storage space.

i did a project like this with my 02 edge x 700 a few years back. went 136" with a 2" lug. that was a sweet sled..especially off trail. it just went forever(we get about 3-5' of powder around here in a whole season so its a little different than outwest)

I'm using those same gas cans. Do yourself a favor before winter and find an o-ring, rubber gasket, or different cap for the rear vents. They rely on a plastic tapered plastic seat to seal and when they get to bouncing around, it starts leaking. I finally twisted them down so tight that the cap split. Otherwise though, great cans cause they're so narrow and 2-1/2 gallons each, you can pack 5 gallons around easily
