2000 Ski-doo Zx Chassis Mod

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

I wanted to prove a zx chassis can still hold it’s own and that old school modsleds are still cool.

What motivated you to start your project?

I wanted an off trail sled but couldn’t justify spending big money on a freeride

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

Front suspension was narrowed up to 35in. Shock location changed to keep correct geometry and uses ohlin piggyback shocks.

What are you most proud of?

The entire sled was built by me. Using as little bolt on parts as possible. Most parts were fabricated or machined.

What do other people say about your snowmobile?

Most people usually ask what it was done to it or where the parts came from

    How did you narrow the front end?

    • Ryan s says:

      Radius rods were cut down in a lathe 3 inches per side. . I made new ends and welded them on. Tierods were cut down and re threaded. I also made poly bushings for the whole front end. shock mount had to be moved down and shorter shocks were needed to keep the geometry so the front end wouldn’t bind.
