So I've got a couple of these laying around that both need fixing; and I might go ahead and do that for this winter but I was wondering if there is any way to spice one of these up a bit while I'm into them. There is pretty much no aftermarket that I can find around anymore...so any thoughts would be nice. Thanks!
Any way to spice up a '89 Indy 500?

I've got an 89 500 mod their fun to fix up getting them up off the ground is a big help plus get the bars way upso you don't break your back when you stand up
extra lite susp. saves a bunch of weight but kind of spendy
but you can make custom high seat and long track pretty cheap
good luck
post some pics of your build !

I was mostly shooting for a bit more power...probably via pipe(s). I've got a M7 thats my good sled; these are the originals we had when we first started sledding. This will be used for chores and farting around when the snow isn't all that deep and rocks are around.
Basically I'm just shooting for more fun when I'm dinkin' around the place, and leave the mountain riding for the newer sled. I'd love to stick a 136" or even just a paddle track on the 121"; but I'm also not gonna spend too much money when its not my main sled.
I have no idea what these are.
Sorry; any help?what he said

The riser is a good idea. I've thought of that before. Also you don't want pictures of these ol' girls, they've had a rough life.

the cheapest up grades that make the most difference would be
long track 133 or 136 find a old xlt track or? and put 8 tooth drivers on it to clear the 1.5'' paddle
xlt front shocks get them up of the ground
my buddy put banshee bars on his worked sweet
make a high rise seat yourself
you can still find pipes around but not worth the $

Well the reason for the work on them is one had the primary clutch grenade and the other must have had a crank seal fail and burned down a piston. But what does a guy expect from a '89 with ~5500 miles.
