I have actually found 2 flanges so I would only need one made. I also have another flange with an OD that is too big for the pipes. Wonder if I can get that turned down a bit to fit?

2001 MM just a couple upgrades aftermarket tunnel works rear shocks ohlins front shocks lite weight trailing arms RML seat 159 track custom paint and some motor work which includes a little clutch work an 800 big bore with portwork carbon reeds and spacers bored carbs worked over air box bender pipes and a little juice to help my big but make it over the steep and deep. And also a few other misc light weight parts. Im going on my third season with this sled and have had no problems. Will try and post pics later.
A couple of upgrades? I'd hate to see what you think is fully modded. Sled looks sweet!
The old relics sure are fun...and as the consensus shows here...fricken reliable. I've had mine since 2001 and have never been towed and only had to change one belt!! Who still does porting for stock bore + PI end dumps??
This is the perfect thread to ask a few questions, hope people don't mind. I am working on a 97 mm 700 for a young kid at work. This sled is clean and stock as you could get it. I picked up a track and drivers from a new nitro and last year he picked up some bender pipes for cheep. Now the questions are will the 2 1/4 track fit with drivers from a nitro or will it have to be rolled.Also some help with the clutching to get ballpark would be helpfull. What kind of rpm should it run for decent hp but reliable hp. I know I will get lots of input here and all input will be helpfull.
Note I don't want his sled to beat the rev so be consevative

I used to build Mountain Max Engines, both big bores and stock. If you want, I could probably build you an engine. I did alot of engines for people off Snowest. So, you should be able to find someone on here with one of my engines. If you want, I could probably build you a MM engine. What pipes do you have.
You will need 8 tooth drivers for that thing. I dont think those Nytro ones will work. The Benders are great pipes. With stock porting, you will want it to rev about 8600 to 8700. Clutching, depends on gearing, drivers, wieght of the rider, atltitude, etc.

Oh.. I didnt see that you had PI end dumps. Great pipes, with porting they honk.
sled is all stock so I will know more when I have it apart. Sled will be ridden at 4000 to 7000 and rider weighs about 230 lbs. Just want the sled to run smooth for him and not have any belt or tuning issues. I know how well these sleds run and figure it would be the best for him.
Where are you from? I can fab some for ya... pm me.

The ground clearance is about the same. Maybe a inch higher! But did save me 4.5 Pounds of weight!
Those are some great looking Mountain Maxes!
