Well since the wife already said no to a new sled I will put some money in my 700 to make it ready to ride with the boys next year!

136" to a 151"
Ryde FX shocks all around
Hyperfax slides
Loose my 3" block riser for a 6" pivot
SLP cheater heads
Boost Bottle

Does anyone have a "summer service" checklist type thing we could print up? I am not sure what really needs to be checked and that would help a lot

...going to spend time searching the net for upgrades/comsetics for the '96 zrt. Already found a skid plate, ski skins, hood screens, and have line on steel skis for $100 for a pair from a local dealer. Still looking for rail grip plates...have to paint the hood and tunnel, and need to recover the seat. Also want to rig something to carry a small gas can.

Should be fun

Where are you buying your skis from? Let me know if i can order form there. Even royal's prices aren't that close, $250 for composites without shoes minimum versus $67.00 each ski for metal with shoes.

As spun said, lighter, always look good, alost harder to break and they flex more so its a smoother ride. Also they will corner better then the metal. For less then 200$ shiped you can get a set off ebay not that big of a diffrence for what you get. Also if you hit something they will flew so there is less of an impact on the frame.

Hey, Not a problem at all.. summer sled projects is what it's all about..

speaking of ski's. Hated the precisions that came on the Rev. Went with the flex ski, much better with the center keel ski imo.

I personaly want to go with some white C&A's since I found a great deal on them on eBay.

Rider X · 03-30-2008, 07:57 PM

I have to put a new center shock and a trailing arm on my wife's sled.

SSnthe10s · 03-30-2008, 11:45 PM

I think im gunna take my pipe,y-pipe and can off and have them ceramic coated. clean the exhaust valves. then just a major cleaning of the belly pan and what not.

I've been so worried about getting my FireCats stolen that I'm going to peal off all the Arctic Cat decals & install Polaris ones! That should fix that issue!!
