i have a 1990 safari lxe, i was wondering if the plastic skis off a mach 1 or similar sled would fit.

It looks like they were all the same through around 1994, after that they changed the way the ski mounted. Any ski up to 94 should bolt right up.

thanks a ton,

would they all take the same ski skins too?

**smallengineguy** · 03-24-2004, 08:35 PM

The same skins as 87-94 Formulas, Machs, Safaris, etc.

I had a 88 Safari a year ago, I couldn't kill it! Tough sleds...

i bought this safari off a woman who put 2,500 miles on it. its in exellent shape 440cc electric start ect. im gonna change the steering join that it needs and sell it. im thinkin about a indy 500 or somthing. the safari rides nice but looks a lil to tame for me. what would a sled like that be worth with no problems at all turn key no rips or scatches anywhere?

I sold my 90 Safari GL for $1000 2 years ago.

mines a lxe. so asking a grand isnt out of line?

**smallengineguy** · 03-25-2004, 10:33 PM

Give it a shot, you should be able to get a grand for it.

My 1988 had 2500 km on it, I sold it for $400. honestly, on my end just for the truth.. a grand seems high... they are only booked for $650. I wouldnt start that high unless I wanted to wait forever to sell it. I know you should always start high, but depends how soon you want to sell it.. look on ebay.. for $1000 the 1990 safari unless is mint mint mint condition.. is a pretty bizarre thing to see.
Just my $.02 but good luck in selling, from one seller to another!

I should've said you'd probably get that in the fall, less right now since the season is over.

im just using it to get into a sled that looks a little batter like a indy trail or somthin. id really liks a indy 500 or a ski doo formula of some kind that needs a lil work so i can get it on the cheap.
