Who says a falcon isn't a snowbird

Take one 99 GSX1300R and fit a 99 Polaris tunnel and track assembly is the plan.

The bike is my summer runner and I'm looking to adapt it to be a winter trail rocket.

I'd like some input on the geometry of the track to where the weight and the ski's sit. I originally found this site reading about the gsxr build.

I'm also going to be running 2 ski's like a sled over the monoski I normally see if at all possible.

Again this is more of a touring sled build.

Any input is greatly appreciated as I'll be fabbing up the connection that bolts in where the swingarm normally goes.

I am thinking of having pitch adjustable positions for the track if you think it'll have some benefit as well.

Sorry I am not able to follow what you are trying to accomplish. If you are looking for a trail snowmobile with a sport bike engine just buy a Apex you will likely not be able to improve on it. If you need more power it is readily available turbo kit's galore take your pick.
If you are trying to build a snow bike different story.

What he said ^^^^

Even an rx-1 would work well.

It's more about I'll have a running snowbike for under a 1000 dollars. I love riding my hayabusa as it's fully outfitted for touring.

So I'm just removing my swingarm and installing the tunnel and track from the Polaris.

My questions are about the geometry of where the bike should sit on the tunnel and if being able to adjust the pitch on the fly would be beneficial.

But yes I'm just building another kind of snobike.
