I sent a set of shocks to Mike Carver for a revalve/upgrade and am making a list of shit I want/need on the shelf now for spares or otherwise, before winter rolls in and there's another parts shortage.  

Anyone actually get their new 2022 sled(s) yet?

You sent me the wrong one but I ordered the right one this morning. Now I just need 8 bolts that are seemingly impossible to find.

You have to build up to it for sure

The nitrogen setup is the only real expensive part

Moved the 600 next to the 700 to get started on the engine swap, the motor in the 700 currently has the crank snub snapped off and still in the clutch at the bottom of the first pic.

No body ever does it but that’s why they recommended rebuilding them after the first few rides to get the crud out of them from manufacturing. 

I'm still trying to paint the same part of my prowler that I've been trying to do all summer.  Not a body guy.  It's become a comical endeavor.  I have it prepped and primed, again, I'll give it another shot soon.

Have been forced to go in to the office to deal with the corporate bobbleheads, so I made good use of my time and sent some sled parts thru the 3D printer.

Bdx has been offering belt drives for many years to convert from chain case.  Nothing wrong with belt drive, lighter, simpler, less maintenance, durable.

Chain cases break all the time and it's often catastrophic when it happens.  But you're right nothing will ever live up to a snopro 500 🙄
