1996 Yamaha Vmax 600

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

To build another project as I just finished my 83 srv and needed another project. I build each build in its own way. They all have there own personalities.

What motivated you to start your project?

I have a passion for sleds. I love to ride and build. I’ve been riding since 1966. I found this sled sitting in the bushes no track no skies but did run.and she was just calling my name and I had to have her. And that’s when the build began.

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the sled?

Custom painted it copper and black. I wanted something no one else had.

What are you most proud of?

My diamond plate run board grips. Lots of people like them a lot.

What do other people say about your snowmobile?

Usually wow that’s old followed by 10,XXX miles really. Untouched never been apart motor
