Anyone else getting parts, looking at their new sled or prepping their machines yet?

It does look vaguely familiar. :lol: 

I bet those skis aren't in your garage with it though.

I'll make sure it doesn't  go anywhere near a Culver's and it was good catching up with you man.   Stop back in for the SX thread.  :lmao:

Needs more windshield.  

what @Zambroskihad on there didn't even cover the gauge... with what I bought him at least his nipples didn't freeze.  @Not greg b has us covered for an actual windshield.  ;)

Nice sled, he's very happy with it and Zamb did a nice job setting it up.

Drove three hours last night to pick up a sled in dire need of some love, moving up from a 2001 Mountain cat 800 to a 2013 M8000.

Cons: steering slop, need to remove wrap, broken ski loop, no keys and im sure ill find more.

Pros: 12 years newer than current sled, reverse works, paid less than $3500, has clean title, great suspension, no missing lugs, under 3k miles.

The upgraded/bigger windshield really doesn't give much more wind protection, I have both of those windshields

I can't tell any real difference between them for hand warmth.

yep, that's the same one I bought him yesterday.  does nothing for the hands.  you could add mickey mouse ears if you really like the shield.  Kale has a great deal on Cat Flex-Tec Handguards... https://www.arcticinsider.com/product/flex-tec-handguards/

@Not greg b has the bigger shield still from his RR which I'm getting for it.  not sure what # it is but when I rode it one night when it was cold a/f it seemed pretty good.

I have other options for when it's colder.  I'm just saying.  The new one doesn't have much more wind protection compared to the old

yup

Yamaha also offers some interesting windshields... https://yamaha-motor.com/p/medium-windshield as an example

until I showed him the same one from Yamaha for $135 https://yamaha-motor.com/p/medium-tunnel-gear-bag

Those cat bags are complete shit. Use anything but those. There is reason when every snowmobile club posts a lost bag, it is usually the cam style cat bag. I would wait another month and see if cat offers the new quick attach system as an option for the older sleds

If Sled Solutions could get a company to make their bags, I’d recommend their bags. I have a couple that are 10ish seasons old. Still work like new and I leave them on the sled when I power wash it.

I forget if it was you that was talking about them before but somehow there’s a clapped out ZR or XF 9000 (zuke) at my dealer right now with a homemade wrap and the race department RXC windshield on it.

Removed the hideous wrap that was on the sled, the crap was nearly as thick as a credit card. Took 2 hours to get to this point with a heat gun.

Any tips on how to remove rust discoloration on white powder coat?

The only problem with the sled solutions bag on the cat trail sled is the tunnel is not deep enough in the rear to mount it tight. The straps tightened all the way, aren’t tight enough to really hold the bag on good. The best I found to mount it was to take the bag out of the plastic tray, bolt the tray to the tunnel, put the bag back in the tray and strap it down. Then it’s not going anywhere

Huh. Weird. Put one on my buddies 16 ZR. We got it to tie down good without much fuss that I remember. It stayed on when he smoked a tree and totaled it last year too.
