Well guys I havent been around much, Ive had too many things going on. Some very sad as some of you know about my father, but last Thursday I finally had something good happen to me!:thumbsup:
I picked up a 2006 Polaris Indy 500 with 2000 miles from a buddy for $1500 bucks!
He ran into a financial bind when his trucking gig went completely south and was really hurting for cash. The sled had been sitting since a month from the end of the season last year. Actualy the same night I crashed my 600 if any of you remember that post. The sled was hit from the back and the other sleds ski rode up the rear bumper, jabbed my buddy in the ribs, and tipped both sleds over. (what he though were broken ribs turned out to be the wind knocked out of him thank God!)
During that little mishap the track got slipped sideways on the bogeys and was half off the rear suspension, giving the illusion that the rear suspension rails were bent. So he took the skid out and compeltely dissasembled it, only to find out it was perfectly fine. And then it sat....and sat... and sat. He had no time nor money to put it back together and get a windshield for it. So long story short(er?) the sled needed the rear skid pieced back together, a windshield, and a good cleaning!
Picked up a windshield, some bogeys that his brother decided to "borrow", a driveshaft bearing, slides and a rear axle tensioner for it and was set to go! All said and done it was about 100 in parts and 1500 for the sled. (actually I wasnt prepared to buy it, and was only able to give 1000 down and 500 when i get it )
Its a beautiful sled in my opinion, and will be replacing the XCR 440 I currently own. My girlfriend will ride it when were out together so she finally has a reliable sled to ride and every other time I ride I will have the choice between this one and my 600. Most my big pics are when I first got it, covered in an inch of dust with the rear skid out, but my girlfriend did take one cell phone pic once I got it together. Its in the back of my truck all washed up and puurrrty right now, Ill get more pics tommorow! Thanks for reading my book, and enjoy!
and the last pic is just a generic google image of this exact sled.
