I have needles from 40mm racks that are stretched for the 1200 and they say PN - D9EFY8-61 does this sound like the right part number? what needles do these go to? i ride at sea level in MI
 
pipes

will edge pipes fit in a wedge? anybody have some good used crank shops for sale? for either chassis, i think whichever pipe set i end up with will depict the chassis i buy

also what fuel pump is recommended? 1200

I always ran two XCR 800 pumps, never had a starvation issue, even on the bottle.
some run a single 800 and have had no issues. It depends upon your power level. I have seen a strong 1050 suck the float bowls dry.
 
good to see these things are still being built despite the resale value at the last snow show. havnt been on here in a long while.

Just fired mine up today again.......mmm let it snow!
 
what where the ones you saw going for R8N? Thinking about buying a second one...

I ran a single mikuni pump for a 780/809 last year with no trouble, and two ulcer pumps stacked the two winters before. Never had any issues myself. A friend of a friend is running a 1500 class triple off one of these pumps as well and it hasn't killed his yet. Mikuni has a twin output one that is supposed to be 65 litres a minute or hour or whatever that I'll be running this year, may stack two once the nitrous is ready. depends on what nozzles I decide on. The 780/809 is supposed to be 60L.
 
hey what ves springs do you guys run? I think I have the rmk ones in there, can't remember the color and its pretty much gone now.

Anyone runing a 1200 with a 11.5 c-c in a gen 2 as well? might do this to mine just to try putting the motor closer to center of the sled, and to get more pipe clearance...

I seen MOB at the Puyalup (sp?) with his sled. Impressive setup but no takers. I was hoping to yours in the Fastrax booth but did see the full on tube chassis, very nice.

ya i didnt go to the show this year. i heard of sleds with 1200s sittin there from 6-8 grand and nothing was moving. Probably could of got one pretty cheap.

Mines been sittin in the corner of PolarisRocks shop since march from my last ride being towed out. left it with mud and rocks on it. nothin like shellin out lots of money for a toy and not taking care of it......:D

little soap n water now and im ready to go.

Hey, i have tryed 11.5" c/c on gen 2 1200, no problem.
 
anybody do it on one with a 2" taller tunnel though? Did you have to use a different rear torqe stop? Hopefully have time to mock up tonight, mostly want to be able to use both of my pipe sets. Also be nice to have more interchangability of parts between it and my escape. What about carb clearance on the steering post? I don't have my carbs yet, could mock it with the lectrons though I guess.
 
does anybody have a single 40 mm flat slide left over from making a triple set out of 2 sets, i only need the 1 more carb and don't want to spend an arm and a leg if i can find 1 carb sitting around in someones junk pile. let me know. thanks alot
 
sorry i know this should be in the swapmeet, but you are the guy's i need to be talking to so ill post it here. im looking for a used set of heads for my 1200 ves motor, im at sea level (0-1000') and would like to run 91 or 100ll av gas, let me know what you have and a price, thanks alot in advance!!
