Not greg b Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 11 hours ago, Palu49 said: I ended up getting ahold of someone I was told might have a set kicking around and he didn’t have any but was actually walking into Northern crankshaft when I messaged him. He asked the guys there and gave them my number, within an hour they called me and told me while they didn’t have any units for stock on the shelf that they would be getting some back from the plater soon. An hour later he called me and told me that he tracked me down a set of freshly plated cylinders at a great price and would ship them tomorrow. Absolutely incredible customer service and I don’t know if they’re making much if any money off the deal. Not like I’m a repeat big account customer they need to make happy either. Also I have no idea if that’s anywhere near a reasonable price I have on FB but really just wanted to trade for stickers 😂. I agree with @mnstangi have no clue why someone would port a modern 600 motor but people do weird shit. Sleds gonna be basically brand new now and as usual in my “good deal” situations I’m gonna end up buried in it lol. Track, studs, driveshaft, primary, top end and seat cover. I don’t get that either unless you are racing it in certain class. You could put 3k of aftermarket bolts on that 600 and still be down about 20hp from the stock 800. And you can buy the 800 for way less money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 This is probably better suited for the FB thread but I’m still seeing idiots trying to flip snowchecks, or low mileage year olds, for more than retail. I just can’t imagine they are selling for that but when you look into the actual post, there’s 20 people tagging 20 more in the comments. There’s got to be a lot of 20 something’s out there killing the fuck out of their credit scores or a bunch of cash in hand rich fuckers who just don’t care. If I had the balls, and know what I know now after the past few years, I should have spring ordered sleds in all of my family members names and sold them all for profit. I guess that’s IF that is actually even happening. Unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve never appealed to me and I’ve never ridden a set that made me say “Oh I gotta have these.” Not to mention that the last factory Cat set I saw apart at my shock guys shop, laid next to a set that were actually purchased from Fox, it was an eye opener. Im not a W/E thumper either, to be clear. The QS3s that I helped set up on a buds RMK last year were mega sweet, for sure. Edited January 8, 2023 by SayatodaU.P.eh?
