B, you and Jonce come out to Id-ee-ho and I'll drag you around to a few cool spots. We are working on European Customer Appreciation Days Part Duece and we can tie in Midwestern Customer Appreciation Days into one big happy hard drinking non English speaking fiasco. Your life span will be shortened but it is SO totally worth it. The last one was epic and we didn't even hit the ultimate riding as the snow was actually TOO DEEP!
Made some awesome friendships and can't wait to see my buddies again. Join us you guys will fit in like a glove.
The basic plan is to tear up the west and finish at Jackson for hillclimb. Not prime riding time but a nice combo of conditions and fun. A detour through Vegas is not entirely out of the question either. I''ve made worse decisions.
IDPOLARIS,
Yep our factory is in Meridian right outside of Boise. We spend most of our time around McCall or outside of my girlfriend's family ranch in Eastern Oregon. Also ride all over the west with customers and friends so I'm lucky to see lots of stuff run of every variety. You being right in the heart of SLP country can't go wrong following some of their leads. Obviously stay away from the running board inserts that they sell as they aren't Better Boards
! You can trust their pipes single or twin but you'll really need a good clutch kit to get the most of the exhaust. I'm not sold on reeds for this application. Did not have good experience and went back to stock and couldn't see a sacrefice. I strongly believe they are a frog hair performance mod that if you have all the money in the world might be a small bonus but it's one of the last things I'd do on this application. I've been around a ton of Carl's setup 800s with SLP single and they are really solid. Once again vents, proper setup suspension, and a good clutch kit makes these sleds universally good runners. You get a lot more from twins but you will have to apply some race gas and that limits some guys. I run em and they are worth the hassle for me. As far as the SLP single with the HPS can my experience was with a non efi setup so I'm hesitant to lead you that way. If you had a fuel controller and egt's plus were willing to test then I'd say go for it. Otherwise I'd stick with the known setup for exhaust. I found huge gains trimming and installing inset screws in the stocker 155 5.1 track. It was free and easy performance with no sacrefice in any snow conditions that I found. Not to say the powder claw or camo extreme isn't as good or even better but so far nobody has SHOWN me a better track for my application. Going to get more time around the PC tracks this year so maybe that will change. I'll let everyone know when I find out with certainty. So once again...buy Better Boards..selective venting as previously posted..and you are fine with the rest of your plan. Call Carl's for clutching or exhaust combos and you'll have a very solid high performance sled. Remember you get all of the updates and the 2010 demo (clutched by Carl's with Better Boards) I rode was really strong stock and that is what you'll have sort of.
whew.....
Alaska guy Snowgod you can't imagine how badly I want to come up there and ride...well more so I want to come fishing but riding would work as well. My buddy from Carl's Performance got to go with a great customer last year and said it was spectacular. We sell a bunch of boards up in AK so a biz trip is not that far of a fetch! Hopefully someday soon. I can pack a bag in under fifteen minutes if the right situation shows itself

Jeremy your sled is coming along nicely! I lost alot of skin today and if I don't bleed out I should finish up tomorrow. We modified your rear block off plates but I didn't get them cut out in time and Dummy shut down the oven prior to coating them. He is missing half his A$$ now but is doing them first run in the morning. The boards are going to work great with your CR Racing accessories. Big improvement in the looks department and it should be much stronger along with way "Better" traction. Your motor parts looks wicked as well...I'm anxious to see it all come together. I have to call you in the morning about your rear suspension bracket plans. Don't want to drill holes in the boards if you are installing different mounting brackets so the looks stays perfect with just one mounting point. I built them so you'd have lots of room to work. I think it's going to be a very very nice custom job when all of the smoke clears.
Thanks again gang for the great compliments on our products...this is how I eat so it's critical that you guys love our parts and continue helping the unknowing get in the KNOW! Appreciated greatly!
