Any New Polaris Aftermarket Parts This Fall???

[ADRENALINE]

Here is something I have been working on for a while now. They are currently being machined. I have ran FEA on them and have optimized them for weight and strength. Complete assembly is lighter than the chromoly versions currently on the market. Price is TBD.

Looking good!

I think we are going to be seeing some more options for fuel control/ delivery from different manufactures. Skinz will be releasing a few new things soon too.

White grippers would be a nice option.

Yes, We will be selling the new Boss seat this year to Fit the 08 or newer gas tanks Raw RMKS. The seat will have a significant weight savings with good storage. They will have it own mold so no more hand shaping. Quality is going to be much better. I also understand each seat will have its own water bottle storage and tow strap. $399 retail and only offered in Black with silver Boss logo. I should have pictures soon. I will probably even have one of the first ones in my hands.

Please contact me to preorder.

Actually was talking to Boss on the phone today about their new nitrous system, they are for real, he wanted to be extra sure that I knew about the new seat, the options for it, etc. Kinda odd seeing this post after just talking to them, but I think this year might be for real.

Paul... I heard this same story directly from Boss two years ago... then again last year ... and again this spring.

When Boss ACTUALLY has a photo of even their first seat (proto).... I'll believe it.

They told me that I would have one "in MY hands" in two weeks.... two years ago.

I WOULD like to see this happen... dont get me wrong... but Boss' track record is not that good.

Significant weight savings...the stock one is hardly there to start with...
Significant, to me would be 2-3 lbs less than stock.

More important would be better storage, better material in both durability and grip an their other options and DELIVERY ON TIME!!

Please post photo of the actuall weight on the same weight scale of the Boss seat and the stock seat with compararable parts that it may replace...

EG.. if the boss seat replaces the stock seat AND the rear support AND the polaris underseat bag... post that Up..

$399 is still a lot of Coin IMO, Their other seats were overpriced IMO for what you got.

They also need to offer a performance guarantee on ordering... like you will get $50 off of the final price if they dont deliver by a certain PRE-season date.

Also, Boss should not make thier dealers pay in full until the seats are ready to ship.

I dont mean for this to come off as 'harsh'... but, IMO, given Boss' track record in the aftermarket AND OEM... they need to step up to the plate and be MUCH better at customer service, manning the phones and delivering product than they have in the past.

The seat will replace the rear freestyle bar as well. That is where some of the weight savings come from. I will post any pics I get when I get them. They are telling me real soon. They also told me many of the molds are already built.

My biggest Gripe has been long lead times and over promising when they will ship. I always tried to get as many customers to order as early as possible and I have a good track record of delivering those seats when they said they would. However, there have been a few exceptions that took extremely long and that is where I and the final customer get screwed wondering if the seat will ever ship. I have also had a few that they just wouldn't design a model for after they said they would. Those customers got refunded. Other than those few cases I have had good luck for the most part. I do over 100 seats a year with boss and have been dealing with them for 5 years.

I do not get charged until my seats ship. They customer typically does because most of these are custom orders and they are not good at helping me track them. So it would be easy for me to get charged for several seats that I didn't know shipped and I never got paid for. Or if the customer backs out and the seat is totally customized for that customer, I am stuck with a very expensive seat no that possibly no one wants. However, the customer is allowed to back out and receive a refund at any point until the seat goes into production. Unless the seat is held up on Boss's end then they are still allowed a refund. So it really helps to take the risk out of mine and the customers hands.

Also, Boss does not allow any dealers to sell their seats below 10% of retail. This would make the lowest price last year at $488.70. If they are selling them cheaper they can have their dealership taken pulled for breaking contract. I am not sure what the policy will be on the new reduced priced seats. I'm not even sure what kind of margin there is at this point but will find out soon.

What about this?

Anyone have any details?

TEAM Tied Driven Clutch​

SLP in conjunction with TEAM Industries is proud to announce the most advanced driven clutch in the snowmobile industry. The TEAM Tied Driven Clutch is an improvement from the TSS-04, in that the moveable sheave opens axially to the stationary sheave without rotational movement. This translates to no scrubbing motion on the belt face producing less heat and friction.

Additionaly all torque is transmitted through the helix, making clutch tuning much more precise. This clutch was developed using the extensive testing and design resources of TEAM Industries.

Benefits Includes:
• Instant Back Shift
• Improved Upshift
• Cooler Running
• Increased Belt Life
• No Engine Reverse Clunk
• Unrivaled Torque Sensing
• Helix Angles Typically 14˚ Higher Than TSS-04
• Greater Efficiency Allows Lower Spring Rates
• Higher Top End Speed Capability


Available September of 2009

ATV Clutch pics
It looks a lot like the TAS-03 for the ATV's

 

[Spaarky]

Sounds a lot like the old Paragon...

Think, I will stick with the 04 for a little while. I already have one box of $100 helix's....

Good find Eric!!!!!!!

Anyone know if there is a headlight cover available for the iq? I know all about the delete kits and the headlight vent but thats not what I want. I think I came across one before but I cant remember where it was. Just want something that is removable cause I do a lot of riding in the night.

 

[Jkinzer]

fire n ice has a really cool vented one that still has a brite light involved.

or you can go with xxx modrods headlight delete kti, trim the tabs off and put some velcro on the back and use it as a cover... i used one for the beginning of the season last year until i broke it trying to pack it out in the dark

 

[mountainhorse]

With all the action at Haydays... I'd like to see what new has hit the market for our RMK sleds???...


RACERJB,

Any word on this front end... It looks SWEET!! Clean lines that will compliment the Polaris and looks super adjustable.

Selling Replacement parts is always a good idea. Make the individual parts available to those that already purchased a full set.

I really like the all billet construction and the full adjustablity.

Holz A-Arms and spindles at $775.00/set (reuse stock upper/lower rod ends at spindle)

ZBroz A-arms and spindles at $840/set (reuse stock upper/lower rod ends at spindle)

Timbersled arms/spindles at $850 (reuse upper rod end at spindle)

RacerJB: Thanks for the compliments!

Correct the price is going to be the downside since they are CNC machined out of billet Aluminum and I don't have the high quantities as the other mfg. I am hoping though to have a somewhat reasonable price. Also they are getting machined by a fellow snowester so trying keep the business within the sled community.

Would definitely be able to sell individual parts. Also they can be swapped from the right to left since the shock mount is removable. Another theory with the inner heim joints is that they would break first in the event of hitting something.

They will fit all IQ chassis and even the Rush since it uses the same geometry. The spindles should fit the stock arms. The spindles are .8 lbs lighter than Holz/stock.

 

[Spaarky]

OMG... put those pictures away! I can feel my pocket book getting thinner and my wife yelling louder if I buy a set of those.... just a minute while I go towel off..... WOW.. those are nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The polished ones are almost too pweety to ride with

Anyone get a sneak peak or pics of the rumored carbon fiber parts Fastrax is coming with?????

 

[nmmiles]

ttt...

Whats the news on this carbon fiber parts and also I heard their might be side panels that already have vents in them? Something along those lines...

Anything other than those things coming up?
