Bontz Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I need to pull my shocks on the new VR1 and send them out to Wenzlaff's & will need to get tunnel protectors installed so I can stud it. I've got some Gold Diggers to install with those "Performance Stud Star" backers, which have worked well on the past few sleds. And I need to get some hyfax on the '22 before I sell it. But those little projects are gonna have to wait a few more weeks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at fat guy springs all around and then some luggage options as well but still haven't decided on what brand yet. Was also considering adding aux lights but man polaris is expensive! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatcha got going on? Those Snow Stud or Fastrac backers? Been using Fastrac SP (single ply) backers for a while on my polaris sleds. They're slightly larger in dia and when used with Fastrac studs the head draws up almost flush with the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Fluid changes, thats it. Maybgrab a new jacket, and still searching for the perfect helmet. Tried most all of them, the one I stuck with the longest was a BV2S. Mission shit the bed, Oxygen was useless without the Cord, and the Exome was a big meh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later in the season, I just started riding without it, and it was fine down to about 10 degrees F. The retractable sun visor broke on my Mission, and I could never get the rubber face gasket to sit on the top of my nose, always sliding down, and pinching off air flow, drove me nuts.

First trip to caribou I ran into a dude I grew up with, he had just bought one. Saw him again later that night and he already hated it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the Polaris 509 2 years ago and it works not great not terrible. Fogs up easier than I would like without plugging it in. Had an old carbon fiber helmet that I really liked but the heated shield died and couldn't find a new shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XCR1250 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I've used Angle Backers for decades, the studs stays verticle for better traction and has a much less chance of ever pulling out of the Track. Below: New shovel points being installed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
