What was your intended objective when you started the build?

I wanted to make a statement. Not every sled needs to be shiny.

What motivated you to start your project?

I enjoy building one off sleds.

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

Built a completely custom bulkhead. Widened the front crossmember, modified the chaincase and built a mini jackshaft to support the added torque of the Sachs 340R.

What are you most proud of?

How aggressive it looks and sounds

What do other people say about your snowmobile?

As far as I know it’s been well recieved

    Awesome, Aggressive! Like to see more close-up photos! The only thing I would like changed is to move the Tuned Pipe Down and then follow the Strip and then follow the Fiberglass Pointing down so as to not Gas Out the Rider or Burn the Rider. Would also Lower the Noise Signature.
