took the sled out today for the first time (well, tech. yesterday now) and had a BLAST!
been out of this for decades and finally got the chance to get back in. picked up this sled a month back for way cheap (imho) and got my reverse kit installed (thanks again
Arcticatdan, for the parts and education) and replaced the stock seat (thanks
redryder). got it up in the hills today and man o man... I haven't got much to compare too, but what a TANK! These things are out-freakin' standing! I felt bad for holding her back all day. Not bad for a first trial run.
left my cam in the truck, so I'll give one good one... rode hard, put up wet and another fuzzier one off the trail.

one question in-light of these great seat mods shown above. I'm an amputee. Lost my left foot back in '96, first Hog. Wearing a prosthetic makes it really hard to hold my leg in a tight bend, like a squat or "ready to bounce" position and while I can do pretty damn well standing up, I can't last at it for two long.
I really like the seat, especially with the lip at the back, to snug up against... but I feel like I need to get taller up in the saddle, so I can swing my weight around easier and hold my stump/leg in a better "bounce ready" position without loosing circulation from the prosthesis.
don't mean to make anyone uncomfortable or anything. I'm all good with this... happened long, long ago. So any input is greatly appreciated and even a good joke... but if it's not real good
Appreciate any good tips/leads/advice from those who've known the sled for a time.
