NOT AGAIN!! Busted some stuff on my 900!!

[diamonddave]

Do you have the paperwork or email to prove to them that you had added collision ins?


I HATE insurance companies.... that is why I don't carry insurance on my sled (it's not required in WA.) They are nothing but a bunch of crooks

This is the WORST thing you could doo is NOT run insurance. What happens if you flip off your sled and it ghostrides and hurts someone?

Sorry, but I'm a stickler for this kind of stupidity. Too many times people get hurt by someone elses sled.

Responsibility includes helping protect the others you ride with.

good point Dave..

i do run ins on the sleds...mainly because i owe money on my 900 still...hers is paid off but worth to have on it...i have just comp on hers...MAINLY for theft protection...but i think i need to keep collision/comp on everything i ride.lol..

i will see what the Ins company comes up with..they are reviewing the papers now.

zip-ties, zip-ties, zip-ties. If the guy isn't your wifes boss, ***** slap him when she's not looking! Just kidding, stuff like this happens glad you didn't get hurt. Medical bills cost way more than sled parts. $20,000 for a new knee last season! From now on don't admire the scenery unless you are pointed up it!!

Well, got it all fixed up today...and installed some SKUFF plates that i had Polzinhunter make me from UHMW, then got some .025" aluminum and i powder coated them RED to stand out since i dont have any decals..i wanna protect the tunnel from my boots hitting them..

got the hood fixed up..since a piece was missing, i used the same size aluminum as above and sut it to match the angle and powder coated that BLACK (of coarse right ) and used rivots to keep it sturdy..then made my own hood strap holder since that was missing too...it REALLY blends in considering a piece is missing there on the hood, lol..

the fender and nose pan came out fairly decent too, my plastic welder stop working on me, so i used a torch and soldering iron to melt/blend the plastic together and then on the back side i used the same aluminum and rivoted the plastic to that...its VERY strong, body lines are straight....now i just need to keep it together...

i took the fox floats off the wifes sled so i can meet up with BIGGDAWG in Island Park, Idaho next week

Get some sledding in Sean... that is what the wrenching is about!

 

[BIGGDAWG]

And avoid "stuff".

Good luck guys and have a blast. Be safe and careful with reason. I'm at the gulf coast now so I won't be riding for a bit

Driving on the beach makes me wanna take the sled out and do some watercrossing

haha...i think she will notice the jack underneath it before a note..

i did get an FST hood today from a buddy here in town...now the wife is trying to pry it away from me for her sled...THANKS to Little John MT..your the man!! but i didnt have time to swap it out..would have to run the wiring back up for the hood/gauges and then remove the setup from my handlebars..

but it should be nice to roll a headlight again, lol..just have to be in by bedtime is all..

 

[MARV1]

Have an FST hood on my '08, complete w/gauges, sucker cost me $450 landed to me. Can't complain, works great, left the Turbo sticker on and fooled a buncha "kids" here already. Wish I could have painted it up though, need a good setup to do that though.
