A couple pics of my CR500 MH attached. I ride in deep snow. My only issue was carb ice. It would happen at any temp, however 25-35 degrees was worse. Riding in the powder my entire carb/cylinder would be an ice cube (see pic 1), along with the airbox full of snow. My solution was to seal the airbox, install snow vents, then fill airbox with foam to displace any snow, install a carb heat probe (KTM part), and put foam all around the carb so snow couldn't build up on it (see in pic 1). Mountain Horse makes a good point about the pipe heat, however I never noticed the difference with the pipe caked in snow, or running a hard pack road where the pipe may/would heat up. I run a stock pipe that is nickel plated. I also have a A/F gage and an intellijet mixture adjustment so I can adjust mixture on the fly while watching the A/F ratio. In pic 1 if you look closely under the rear fender you can see the NO2 bottle (in black insulation bag) and nitrous line going to carb. Ski-wise, I now run a Simmons 8" wide ski purchased from 2-Moto. It comes with outside edges and works great in the powder and tolerable (barely) on the hard pack.
Did you have to gear it down any?
Are you using a Rekluse?? I've heard they rule on a 500
cr500afx check this out on my site. I build these 585 cc motors . almost 100 hp I am building one of these in a crf 450 chassis right now and contiplating this mh option. We will have to see check this out.

Brad,
The 585 looks great. Looks like a CPI cylinder? I have a CR625 in build right now at RPM with CPI cylinder + stroked (Crank Works). Checkout http://rpmmfg.com/CR625BigBoreStroker.aspx
I wish I would have found you guys sooner, its taking forever to get it finished....
I have seen his stuff. I don't know why you need to stoke a motor to 84.5 mm imo the 79 stroke is perfect. All my big motors have proven themselves at that . I will be curious to see how or what he is doing for your head. The head cpi uses will not work in your bike as it has a straight plug. Also I have a billet carb manifold for the offset . What are you doing for that offset on your carb . Maybe there is a better alternative on this that I haven't found yet.
Brad
All good points and I'll have to ask RPM about the head and carb offset. While I'm hopeful (delusional?) about the RPM 625, if I had it all over to do again I would not use RPM...

Yamaha R1 with a Timbersled Mountain Horse mounted. Well, sort of
is that real Dave? did allan put that together?
It is photoshopped. Dave did it for fun. But we are making an R-1 Super Snow Bike and will look a lot like this picture all except our bike is blue and will have a 136 track or longer, not sure yet. Hope to have it on the snow by the first of the year. If it works well and can get all the bugs worked out I will ride it up the hill at Jackson Hole.
