December 2005
Name: Melvin Hussey (Radianguy)
sled make/model: Polaris 600 SKS
location: Newfoundland,Canada
where I ride: The west coast

I bought my sled in the fall of 2002.It started life as a 2003 Polaris 600 Classic Touring and this year I turned it into a SKS.

I removed the 2up seat,backrest,and rear cargo rack and installed a single seat.I have a 133.5x1.25x15 track.I also have a low blue windshield and have added a blue headlight cover since this picture was taken.I have spent several hours polishing the tunnel and under hood of my sled.

The only modifications I have made are to my primary clutch.I added heavier weights and am experimenting with springs to get a better bottom to mid range.The sled currently has 7200 trouble free miles and I am sure alot more to come.I am sure this is a one of a kind!

I was going to remove the decals and install the 03 SKS decals but I thought it would be neat to have a 1up classic touring with a 133.5x1.25 track.I may put the oem SKS decals on before next
season starts.That will give me something to do over the summer while I wait for the snow.

I would also like to remind everyone that when sending in pics, make sure that they're no bigger than 600x600

How do you tell what size they are??? I usually go into paint and than keep reducing them until it lets me post on the site. Is there a way to tell?

Just hold your mouse over the pic. It should tell you the size. Or right click on it and go to properties.

In your tool bar, find the resize command and you can change the image size and resolution , then save .

Just realized that PI500 is in Munising riding this weekend, so we will all wait until he gets back so he can post all the info and pics of the winner. Sorry for the delay.
