My buddy has them in his '17. They replaced them once for free, but told him if they break again, he's not getting any more.  I made him something better out of some stainless steel 3/8 bolts and nuts. 

 

I have the Doo tunnel mounted ones on my '17 Renegade.  Never had any issues with them. 

i sucked one into the track when the gas can i had strapped came off but otherwise the tunnel mounted were pretty good

Looks about the same as my list minus a few things on the XRS :bc: 

went with shaper bar 7.5s which I use on every sled. Love them on trail and in my experience they really improve stock ski handling especially when set up properly. Put the shit stockers on the outside. Bergstrom shims too.

I went with the skinz knee pads. Love their products, doo knee pads are hard rubber. Alpha 3 LEDs are nice but it’s a tight fit with those drivers under the glovebox.

Also trying the new 571 doo belt for the 850. See how that goes. Stock was 531.

I sat on a 2020 XCR at the local dealer and after being on the xrs a few times there’s no doubt which chassis has the better riding position. Poo by a mile.

I pulled the assault in the garage today. I almost forgot how sexy that mother fucker is.

A couple of my friends wrapped their to look like a 1996 XCR440.  I think 1996 at least.

$15,300 for this snowcheck a guy bailed on. Before tax, studs, storage, registration, etc etc. crazy

I want the switchback. Kip has an 850 in black. I'm planning on snow checking this spring but if I see one somewhere it could be hard to resist.

Never heard of those. Where did you get then and how much? 

 

 

Oh, and get rid of those warning decals already

Let me know how you like those knee pads.  Not super impressed with the SkiDoo ones for 85 bucks.  Had to put bigger darts in too, the ones it came with were useless.  Mine has manual reverse, so you had to take that linkage all apart to mount these, which I wasn’t super crazy about doing.  I did the same thing with my stock carbides, took Bens advice.  I like a light steering effort, and usually don’t go more than 6”, plus being a 4 stroke, its a little heavier in the front end to begin with.  :bc:

Man those early XCRs were little rippers.  Fastest way around a tight trail.  I had a 96 XCR440SP for a while with the handlebar mounted knob. Raced a few Sno-x on it.  Buddy let me borrow it to race initially, said no problem, but if you crash it you bought it.  I crashed it.  :lol:

About 150 US.  Came from Alberta Canada.  Plug and play.  There is a good youtube on them.  They’re on their 3rd generation I guess.  Very impressed with the difference from stock.

Will do :bc: 

when I saw the doo ones and what they charged for them, I decided to go another route. They looked too stiff and small to really make a difference to me. I’d be curious if you like them.

These skinz pads were $70 only and are extremely comfortable when just sitting on the sled. Huge difference.

Skinz makes quality stuff. Good choice. I have the klim kewenaw  bibs that have knee pads built right in.

I had a skinz tunnel bag on my axys and loved it. They do make great stuff and all of it that I’ve had has been good quality :bc:
