He decided to be Evel Kinevl a couple weeks ago and roll his sled Wow, those cat steering posts are garbage. Yours looks like less damage over all, and that steering post is bent all to fuck Actually, that post was stout. I caught a ski and it slammed into hard ground at about 25-30 mph sending me into a fantabulous superman with poor landing skills. I've never been ejected so fast off of a vehicle.

I paid $100 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball 440 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 An interesting comparison skidoo 594cc on the left and 583cc on the right. Both have bad cranks. I have a 597 with a bad crank too. Anyone see a pattern here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it going to be a stroker kit ? copy the flywheel bolts Its not really a stroker kit per se , the 800/900 bottom end has a stroke of 65mm and the 1000 lower had a stroke of 64.4 or something. If you use the zr700 pistons and a spacer under the 1000 cylsthey will bolt up to the 8/900 lower end without modification. This gives you 1004cc's vs the tcat's 998 ....its all stock parts aside from the machined spacers from D&D. I should be able to throw the kit together for 300$ or so with used parts this summer. With stock pipes and heads cut for 87 oct it should make an honest 180hp Edited March 29, 2017 by f7ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remote reservoir shocks and had the clickers mounted by the steering post so you could do quick adjustmesnts without having to get off the sled. Was a bad ass sled. A tad heavy, but it moved out and suspension was awesome on the trails. It wasn't a lake racer. We all switched sleds occasionally and it was a fun sled for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
