Is this seat still available

Yes it is!

One of my riding partners is 73 this year.  Rides a 98 panther 2-up 440 fanner.  Ass dragging on the corners and fast as hell through the woods.  Any day is a good day on a snowmobile he says.  I believe his first sled was a 67 Ariens.  Did almost 2000 miles with him last year.

Thanks

Come on CFK it must be bulb smashin time!!

Gonna throw this to the top.  You will need the correct 8 pocket bumper for your machine.  Sick of looking at it and would love to see it get used.

Both Sabercat 500's gone over and ready.  ZR8000 next, once over, slides, thinking an extra idler close to the tail.  Probably some new ice scratcher tips for the hot running overheating pig.  

The 04 F7 needs a speedo side driveshaft bearing, I'll get to that after deer season.

Yeah....you won't find any of these in the top consumer stores. Maybe some mom and pop shops when you gain their trust. All overloads.

 Found a really good connection last year.  They are constantly sending me updated lists of  available products and I just pick and choose. Hard to believe some of the stuff available but I guess there is a huge market for it......this guy moves a ton of product.

   

I have been fortunate myself in that regard.  Too bad so far away.....

That santa baby is good.  Backroom stuff I assume.  No way that is legit 1.4

For real. If they get the cooling in check these things would probably pick up 10hp in the real world because they would quit dumping fuel to keep cylinder temps down 

I have honestly considered selling the 18 zr8 and jumping back on the owned since new 2004 F7SP for the next two seasons.

I will test that cooling system and belt drive in down town Merrill. If that bare pavement snowmobile route doesn’t melt the belt, nothing will

I swear to all things snowmobile the cooling situation better be sorted out!

Toyota lost tons of ground on EV tech chasing the hydrogen powered dream of a CEO. They are coming from behind. 

Maybe not gasoline platforms but hydrogen is coming on strong in heavy duty diesel.  Give it about 4-5 years. 

Coolers look promising.  It still chaps my ass about running scratchers.

LMAO, the website updated!

Just now, Crnr2Crnr said:

their marketing department could use some updating as well. 

did you see the new chassis on... their website, their youtube page or their facebook page?

me neither

 

so there's still that...

 

No shit, I brought that up in the other thread.  That shit should have popped ten seconds after presentation.  A HS marketing project could have done better.  Ive been a loyal Cat guy for 30 years but I'll be honest, at this point I just don't know......

The RXC does look good.  But seriously,  "Arctic Cat slapped a hard embargo on certain information and boxed-in what we and others at the meeting can talk about at this moment. They plan to trickle information out to consumers over a period of time."  

That says to me not ready for primetime.  At this point I wish they would have just waited till spring.

Yeah the livestream was terrible and I wanted to see the specs and like you say nothing on their website.

All that info should have popped ten seconds after the presentation.  A high school marketing project could have done better.

FFS, no good livestream and nothing ready to go on Cat's webpage, their naming contest is still on the homepage.  Even if it was the greatest reveal in the history of snowmobiling you have no way to know about any of it.  More bungle IMO.  

Thanks Krom!

Is there a livestream?

Thats great news.  Glad they know who did it.  A reroute would have been a mess.

Had a photographer come out this year.  Here are a few stills.

Oh, friggin sweet....that's awesome. Looks like you have some unique stuff and figuring out how you're going to run it....have a great 4th..njoy

Yeah...it aint cheap by any means....literally watching money being  burned.

  Ahhh, its only once a year and worth it to me

The Cobra system opens up a ton of possibilities to be creative with timing, plus I actually get to watch.

Have a safe and happy fourth!

Should be a good show.
