This is my first post to the Snowest forum as I am a first time owner of a sled, that being an 05 Anniversary edition RMK 900. After reading this thread this evening, I felt it needed to be mentioned that Dan (IndyDan of Indy Specialties) has been gracious enough to answer my calls twice now, answering my sophomoric questions to help guide me through the build of my sled.
This afternoon, while speaking with him, Dan really took the time to answer my questions without leaving me feeling like I was being rushed off the phone. The last thing I want to do is waste the time of a small businessman, especially when I haven't sent him a single penny his way... yet! This sled does need to be , without a doubt, dependable. My plans are to use it with the local Search and Rescue team and it must remain an asset, and not a liability.
Individuals, such as Dan, and so many others that are willing to share their knowledge and experience (in Dan's case, the many reviews from so many satisfied customers that back up his knowledge and experience) deserve our support when we can give it to them, Dan certainly has deserved mine. Not only will Dan be doing my clutch, I will also be purchasing his Torque Master 1 lower crank case assembly.
When you think about it, the $95 difference between a dependable clutch job done right and a "bubble job" is not that great, especially as that $30 clutch eats itself and possibly your crank, 20-some-odd miles up into the high country as a storm rolls in. This is when you realize that extra $95 may have actually been your first and best chance to save some bacon, including your own!
I don't mean to revive an old thread, but I want to say to IndyDan, MountainHorse, and the others who contribute good information to this forum, Thank you, and to all out there, be safe out there.
