What wouldn't you do again

[sled-fiend]

I would never do again:

3. Better Boards

What didnt you like about the better boards? I've got a setting sitting here for my 09...

 

[backcountryislife]

boondocker box

Timbersled skid or barkbuster front end

09 riser post

Jaws anything

Simmons skis (on an M anyhow)

a motor that uses proprietary pistons (thanks for screwing me on the 600 mod pistons SW!)

a long track sled

a backpack without flotation

 

[Drifter]

07 M1000. Always something.

 

[ditch1000]

Straightline Performance pipe - Junk. Poor fit and finish, will not fit over the stock exhaust valves, mounts on the can had to be cut loose and re-welded to get it to fit.

 

[Catintree]

sell my '06 M7 162LE. That thing ripped.

X2 on that miss that orange rocket.

Hope the '10 makes me forget.

Make love to a hooker. Man those doc bills are expensive. But realy, never again first year production sled. More miles on pickup goin back and forth to dealer than the sled had on it.


Oh and backcountryislife, why not simmons on a M?

Put cash down in the spring for a new sled. I'll wait till Feb/March and save a bunch of $$$ on end of season sales; rather than have a new sled sitting in the garage for 3 months waiting for snow, that I paid top dollar for to make sure I got the Sno Pro or LE model.

this is for 06 m7, i will never buy a bdx black box or any other aftermarket box, hps can, or run cat rails.

What was wrong with the bdx black box? Was thinking of getting one.

Cracked and bent after 8 days of riding. Coating flaking off. Should have never bought them.

yep

 

[akinneberg]

bikeman = garbage

agreed!!!

 

[ItDoAble]

BDX bumper kit - worst decision I've made in 15+yrs of mods.

 

[dmkhnr]

Drop out of college my junior year. Shoulda finished it!!!!!

 

[orange06m7]

Bikeman = GARBAGE

Totally agree!! had no luck with anything they sell

 

[RMK_Ryder02]

I should never have skipped work to go riding... but then again it was well worth it

 

[garciava]

buy an 06 RMK 700. should of went with the M7 instead at the time because I ended up with an M7 anyways

 

[cody7thomas]

What brand of boards/?

Cracked and bent after 8 days of riding. Coating flaking off. Should have never bought them.

I was looking at getting boards what kind did you have??

 

[Blk88GT]

"Better Boards"

X2 - I love the black boxx. BDX makes great stuff and they are super cool to deal with...

As for things i'll never do again on Cats:

1. Buy a "mod big bore 900" on an M7 bottom end. DOG!!!
2. Use Koso products - not my fav and not that reliable. sorry!
3. Think that a warranty from a dealer in WA that sells cats mean a chit. Thanks F&*Ker's for helping me when i had a full warranty! NOT.
4. Buy a torsion kit for the secondary. Some guys like 'em, but i'm not a fan. No offense to CPC or RKT as the product quality are great, i just didn't find them to work any better than some compression setups i've come up with.
5. Buy a 1000. Loved the sled eventually, but left a bad test in my mouth even though it ended up being an *** kicker in the end.
