as far as i know carl's is done making them. htg made mine but couldn't get an ecu to work for me. so i talked carls into flashing my ecu it seems to work good now will now by sunday how well when i get to island park.
i wish we could talk carl's into doing a few more. maybe we need to get a group together for a group buy??

I'd still be interested in this ... I haven't given up on my 900 RMK yet ... I have so much time and money into it I kind of still want to finish what I started
hehehehehe....I got a backup I can ride so if it's down while I'm working on it it's all good
if that's the case, I would say get a list together... lots of things can happen when you have strength in numbers.... might be worth their while if they had a group of 6 or so guys?????

Count me in for next season, I'll be heading to Iraq on the 17th so I'd have to send carls a deposit till I get back.
Better hurry up when I talked to rob last week he said they basically are done making them too.

call and talk to tom in service I bet he could get some answers. I know they are at hard work on turbos this year but I would think carls cycle wouldnt turn down custome work for a cutomer they told me they could keep mine running that I could get parts no problem
i also talked to 2poor about this..he knows a guy that works at Highmark Rec in ID, that will build them..he will also do an 1140...
i have his info to get ahold of him if you need it..i havent had the time to sit and talk to him on the phone about any of it...
but i will be sending him my cylinders for the porting at least this summer...

heck with porting sean drop the hammer and go 975 use the wifes cylinders then you have a 975 and a 900
I emailed chris the performance dept contact guy and he replied they don't do 975's anymore.

LOL...you would try and push me there wouldnt you..lol..
i talked to 2poor about the porting...he has an 05 900 with the porting and a few other things...and he said the porting he does is so good, that his 05 900 (866) will hold a 975 all day...
so that being said..if i can get a few more ponies from what i have now..i can justify that...but a 975 i cant...but an 1140...now were talking...
but then again..i cant seem to handle what i have now either

I'd definatley be interested in a 975 that's been properly ported ... if he's still making them this spring when you send yours in let me know, I'll probably be down for one.
Count me in for one! I'd love a 975, even better the 1140! Group buy should spark some interest for them!

I am interested also, I know that the kit carls had required 40/60 blend race gas and this was one reason I held off on purchasing one earlier.
I don't know anything about HTG? How many guy's are running that kit? and what is the difference between these two kits?
I would lean towards a pump gas kit.... even though it may not put out quite the H.P. that a race gas kit does.( race gas in Canada is very expensive 20.00 gal)
However I would hope that a pump gas kit would perform significantly better than a fresh 866cc motor.

I've talked to both Jack Struthers and Chris Kasel at Carls... Outside of supporting current 975 customers... they are NOT interested in making these kits again... even if there lots of people that want to order and put down 100% deposit... (I asked that too).
It's just not worth the time to hassle with a "dead" motor design.

Thats sad to hear even after the proven design they already have.... Its not perfect but close enough. Its frustrating at the same time knowing you missed out on something amazing and knowing not much compares. We do so much to these sled cause its what we got and what we know, and you get to a point and know there is a step up, but can't have it.

Turbo is in the plans but I am in bumf*** nowhere, ND and they don't have race gas around here. Pump gas is the only way to go and its borderline worth it IMHO. I understand that the Carls kit is 50/50 also but hey, I guess I'll figure it out eventually. Thats also the only thing stopping me from using nitrous is I can't get it locally.
Just have to move closer to the mountains after school is done. Getting my degree in Simulator Technology, they don't have those around here LOL so I have to move.
