Sweet motor but not in the same league power-wise as the factory triple pipers. And only 34mm carbs before 97 I think. Oh heck yeah. Too bad they never made a triple pipe ultra in the wedge chassis. That aggressive chassis is horrid looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do these guys have shitty groomers or something? It’s always quite smooth here once the groomers get moving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the earliest I have ever seen them come through. We have a pile of snow here this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah when it’s smooth all that extra height and suspension really works against you when we were in the twisties none of the newer sleds could keep up to me on the F3. Only difference is I’m quite a bit more tired by the time we get somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better is if you can find a later version with valves from the xcr 7 or 8 and chop it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah supposedly the 800 XCR jugs bolt right on. A triple triple wedge is pretty sexy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It popped and later became swapped the "Fireball 440" because 60 miles after the swap it caught on 🔥 This was when I joined hcs in 2006.
