wow, sounds like quite the overhaul, nice work! now all you need is a turbo kit!

 

[lshobie]

I think a turbo is my next step, just trying to figure out which engine i can get that is light, powerful, torquey, and can handle a turbo - was thinking 670HO if i can find one - supposed to bolt in fairly easily.

Looking good. Keep us posted. I have always loved the sound of a triple with triple pipes!

 

[lshobie]

Ya I like the sound of the triples as well, here's a video update on the project - almost done.

Made my tunnel extension - just have to weld in the grab bar between the side rails.

 

[volcano buster]

Do you suppose you would need an additional cross bar between the rails between the rear scissor mount and the rear idlers? Seams like the OEM does this to tie the rails together. I know, more weight, but it might keep some flex down between the two rails.

 

[lshobie]

Probably a good point - I'll doo it.

Thanks!

Awesome man I did a drop and roll and 151 track on mine last year and I love it needs some dialing in tho I think I need to drop a gear and the rear suspension has never been right after moving the skid back. Also bought some longer shocks for the front and raised it a bit to.

 

[RMK-King]

Cool project, cant wait to see it done.

Heres My 91 SKS has the 670 rotax, dropped and rolled chaincase,151 track, X10 front shocks

Need a pic with the tunnel extension on

 

[lshobie]

Looks awesome, my sled is almost done, some odds and ends to clean up, carbon fibre parts to make today and then synch carbs, cut and fit pipes.

And my latest update video:

Starts like an XLT.

Get the needles and seats redone on those carbs.

 

[lshobie]

Needle and seats, just as a maintenance item? or do you see an issue?

 

[Scott]

How much of a net loss do you figure on weight?

 

[Scott]

Yeah, that needs done ever so often.


XLTs are NOTORIOUS for filling the case with fuel if they sit for very long with the fuel valve left on. They are hard to start when they have a 1/2 gallon of gas in them. LOL.

 

[volcano buster]

It's handy to have socket and extensions to reach the drain plugs at the front of the motor to drain these out. I got screwed out of an awesome day in McCall because my motor was fuel-locked. I had always ridden from the house and I had to trailer up to this park, after leaving the fuel valve on, the road trip up filled the case.

 

[lshobie]

ya been there done that as well - good points fellas.
