I've got a Polaris as well. Have my trail passes and machines ready to go.

 

I have an 01 Yamaha Vmax 600 triple. Old sleds are so awesome.

 

I wanna buy one...maybe next year when I retire?

 

Nice, my first sled was a 2001 indy 500
I had to ride it last year. My back was not happy doing 300+ km rides on that beast

once u go to a modern chassis its really hard to go back…



Sold sled

 

Can the toy hauler even pull that?
I know the snowmobile will pull out the taco if it gets stuck but....

 

It’s definitely not hard for me to not get used to a modern chassis, I can’t fuckin afford one.

 

The last sled I owned was a 1996 Polaris Storm 800 triple...hopped up by Polaris in good old Wisconsin. Piped jetted and new jugs and pistons...more like a 1000 that an 800. Won a weekend radar run ..126.4 mph that run was on a Friday and held till Sunday...there was a guy there with a T-cat who must have burned 5 tanks of gas trying to knock me out of first...lmao. Those Arctic Cat guys hate the Polaris guys for sure!!

 

Had a very good buddy who raced the pro/semi pro circuits In the 70s...raced against Gilles Villaneuve and his clan

 

woa thats a while ago

 

Yup

 

Built a little deck to get the skis above the wheel wells, works mint but should do a v2.0 to try and get it a little lower in the bed

I like the old wedge chassis. I’ve always wanted to get one again since my dad sold his. My buddy has an old xcr thats been sitting behind his barn for a few years i might try and scoop next year to tinker with for the grass drags

i may have converted a family friend to polaris from arctic-cat

 

The conversion is no easy task! I was riding a 2007 Ski Doo this winter..600twin reverse electric start...it was like a Cadillac compared to what I rode back in the day...semi fast for a 600. Then I rode a Yammi 1050 turbo four stoke space machine. Super high center of gravity...ya can't ditch bang that bitch. I was all over that thing like white on rice just to carve a few turns. Ya can keep them !

 

Good buddy of my families is a bit of a legend in the sled scene from y’all’s day. Blair Morgan. One of my pit bikes is autographed by him.

 

I remember that dude...raced AC and then later Bombardier...As I recall he was paralyzed racing bikes...sad story.

 

that is mint!
yeah a V2 with it lower would help but ultimately, it's super good enough to get you out an about

 

yeah i rode a viper. Super fun sled on the trail and apparently you can get stupid power from them just with a tune. It was defiantly no off trail sled. got that thing stuck once and never again lol

 

My buddy carries a for sale sign for just such an occasion...

 

Now that I have the rack installed over the softtopper, I'm thinking I can put a 3rd brakelight on it, as the standard one is blocked by the top.
Any suggestions? Tons of cheap Chinese stuff on Scamazon, but just need a simple one that lasts.
I assume I can wire it into the trailer wiring.

 

^The brake light wire is shared with the RH turn signal wire on the trailer plug, so your 3rd brake light would blink in right turns. Better to tap one of the tail light brake light connectors. I used this one: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/plug-and-play-brake-light-taps.707529/

 

Well that solves my issue
