The only ones I know of down there are Waconia, Rosemount, and Cannon Falls. Motoproz is more towards Rochester. Cities Edge, I'm not impressed. Finished up fixing the coolant leak today. Put the new radiator cap on, set track tension, aligned track, and aligned skis. Skis were slightly toe in, I set them just under 1/4 toe out. I bought a few extra of those little plastic clips that hold the rubber piece on to keep the snow out of the steering. Sure enough I didn't even break one. Ready to ride! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it being a decent sled and stayed up with our yammis maintenance wise too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a 1980 340 Invader and a 78 440 Invader. Freaking awesome sleds and fast as hell for the day. The 440 would give 85 vmaxs fits on occasion which was a big deal back then lol.... Buy it and enjoy if the deal is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of trying to keep my eyes open for a Liquifire first, but those aren't cheap to come by and these seem like they could be a good option.

It may have been a 500 tho. I know it was faster than my Exciter 440. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I had an 87 Indy 600 triple back in the day that would pretty much smoke any and all stock challengers...Ben was still eating his own boogers at the time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out of sleds for 8 years...college, career, marriage etc., and I bought that sled from my cousin in 88 with only 500 miles on it. It was so much faster, handled and rode so much better than anything else made at time time, it got me back into the game and short of one season, I’ve had a sled or two in the barn ever since.

I remember first ride on it, we went to the Old Forge Snodeo in early December, and I wasn’t all that impressed with it. Turns out it was because of the stale gas it had in it from the previous season. Topped it off with fresh fuel....holy fuck hang on. Honest 100mph sled back then.

You're fast sled cred is pretty limited ......you permanently damaged it when you raved about all the power the stock turbo sled you owned had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
