I like it. Nice outside the box thinking.
I bet the front suspension is way lighter and cheaper than forks.

Looks like a great setup for this years area 51. Also looks like Cooke is off to a good start this year. Can't wait for Hawkfest/ Mountainhoss fest.
Looks Good Les!!!

that thing is crazy! definitely outside the box thinking!
Where do you guys ride a Cooke City as I am from Cody, WY and would love to ride with some fellow snowbikers in the area? Also when is hawkfest this year at cooke?
fine tune
this thing needs some fine tuning still. will get working on some small ski spindle offset changes then mostly enclosing the engine compartment so keeps snow off engine. For the first real test im pretty happy.
Its not the same as a mtn horse that is for sure. front end is more vauge at this point, need more ski pressure.
we ride cooke alot and i am always open to new riding friends.
thanks for the replies good or bad. im always looking for feedback and new ideas.

Reminds me of a snowhawk with the body work removed.
