It’s got the upgraded mounts and added snubbers and I’m sending clutch out to be balanced. Should be fine Yah I was surprised how close to brand new it looked Did you buy a 9OO fusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting in my shop , had it partially torn down and then put it all back together. I was getting a little overwhelmed with two sleds in a million pieces. As soon as the Polaris is buttoned up I’ll get to work on the apex. Edited November 27, 2022 by f7ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
