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. He may have changed them now. Mine is probably 10 years old. It’s been a great bag, you just cant get it to hold tight on any of my cats. The bag strap needs to be attached higher up on the bag to get enough pull.

The only other Cat riders in our riding group ride PC M’s so… I could be wrong but I don’t think he’s had one tunnel bag produced post Covid. Maybe even longer. The only bag he has been able to get built is his quick loc handlebar bag and that was like pulling teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crnr2Crnr Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) done with 440 stuff for now, and the rock solid 500 is gtg. brothers RXC got tunnel flares, tunnel bag and have scratchers coming. 720 just got the skid pulled this morning so Hygear can service the Axis shocks, normal skid maintenance and as usual, one idler wheel. Those Dupont vespel slides are still looking good. Sigh... the icing on the cake was going to the post office to mail my shocks.

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Well, I couldn’t handle it and bought another sled. That little 600 is a great sled and will make someone happy. I’m just to use to 800cc and more, power. ‘19. 129. 1900 miles on it. Clean sled. Just put 50 on it today with the wife, trail riding, and another 20 riding two tracks with the neighbors later on this afternoon. Don’t worry Karen2Karen. That windshield is only staying because I’m being cheap and don’t want to buy another trail permit this late in the year. Gonna do shock and clutch service this summer. Needs hyfax. Everything else checks out good so far. Previous owner did a complete chain case service 500 miles ago but knowing me, I’ll probably do another one before the beginning of next season. I buy Polaris chai case oil by the gallon with so many sleds in the family to maintain.

I put it on the chassis. DNR has made comments twice to me about it and I flat out tell them I have multiple windshields and body panels can get damaged. If I hit the chassis were their stupid fucking decal is, the sled won't be rideable. Their bs usually ends there and I've never been given a fix it ticket. secondly, why do people that actually race cross country or adventure races where they race long distance at high speed like the iron dog use real windshields instead of speedometer covers? heck, I swapped windshields yesterday morning on my brothers. less than a five minute job. speedo cover sort've a windshield an actual windshield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sticker is usually on my windshield on my trail sled because I don’t have a problem with breaking them or ripping them off. Plus, I put it on a piece of thick, clear backer tape so it comes right off. This guy wasn’t that smart. Lastly, I will keep the windshield for any chance of a long weekend/weekday ride having to take place in really cold temps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the long track match to the 800 Indy I just bought. 19 SKS 155 800. 600 miles on it. Coated in cig and weed smoke film though because obviously that’s where this guy and his wife smoked all their shit at, in the garage, sitting on this sled. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnstang Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Prepping the old beast this week for a trip. There was some water in the gear oil so that was good to change. Greased it. Put some speedo parts in that were broken. When I went to start it for the first time I had fuel dumping all over the floor. I found the float bowl drain screw was broken and laying under the carb. That happened in storage so that was weird. I don't remember if I drained the carbs last spring, maybe I did and over torqued it and it later broke? Odd either way. Hopefully that shows up by Thursday otherwise I'll have to take something else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will either run like no other or it will stop running. So the bog will be fixed either way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
