What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Better steering (factory steel ski with skins were extremely bad for darting) improved take-off and better safety for steep icy hills and braking.

What motivated you to start your project?

To Improve the sled’s basic handling and safety

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

Added an Advant-Edge/Bender Racing Roller Secondary and removed the giant factory muffler.

What are you most proud of?

Just the overall performance of the sled stock and with the handful of mods. The hood is quite striking on a bright sunny day. Plus no sled does power slides better then this thing.

What do other people say about your snowmobile?

That it looks sharp and is quick for a 500cc.
