I am the only all black one posted on here so far ! Out of all the sled I have owned, the ones with the most Black are the ones I liked the most. Black is by far the best color for sleds, cars, atv's, boats , etc etc. Does that sound racist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastzrt Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) It's a love/hate thing owning a black car or truck for me. I'm a little ( my family says "a lot") obsessive about keeping my car clean and waxed. They can't believe the two bucket wash technique, along with the blow drying. I hate swirl marks on black vehicles. I do love the looks of a blacked out sled on the snow though....

I don't know why but I just can no longer hold a two smoke wide open for long durations....I find I will only do short WOT..... Although the tracks on my last two sleds were not the ones you do that with. 13 minutes ago, lastzrt said: It's a love/hate thing owning a black car or truck for me.

Black vehicles when clean look sharp, but the clean part is hard to do....My current truck is White, easy to keep clean and accessorize.

Glenns Pro-S LE and my Pro-X (taller) would run side by side til 85 mph and then he would start to pull away. Over 100mph on the speedo his sled was quite a bit faster. That being said, my Pro-X was WAY better in the bumps with the stiffer suspension. I am looking forward to lining my SBA and his Pro-S up and seeing what the difference will be.

Poncho Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Well finally took the XCR for a ride....very short ride as my wife loves it and I never got it back. Super easy to ride, very trail friendly. About 40 miles...it was enough....I drove it about 5 of those miles.....nice sled 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't touched one of mine since 2010. And all he did was clean the primary , pop a new factory primary spring and lube the pins. He's not up on his newer sleds as he's been selling cars for quit a while. Would like to try riding an xcr this year. I bought the xcr front track shock for my pros to fix the bottoming issues I had.
