Depending on what comes my way:
A. Find a 99-2000 XC 600, drop an edge skid into it, and go cosmetic crazy. Then start a resto project on the ultra that would include putting the LRM pipes back on and some slp heads and other goodies.
B. Can anyone say EDGE TRIPLE!!!

My ZRT 600 took a ***t this season. No $ to fix it now. Plan on tunnel porting the case. Racelogic porting templates for the cylinders. New pistons and recutting the heads to repair damage. Also plan to clean up the exhaust pipes and silencer and repaint. If I find the time I would also like to pull the a-arms and paint them AC orange to match my vent screens, idler wheels, and starter handle. I also have an extra TRA clutch I've been thinking about trying to fit to the ZRT. We'll see how far we get.

If I keep the sno pro it's getting; new bars, a race track I don't like the xc track at all, and some powder coating and graphics.
If I sell it, I'll buy an iq or xp and just ride it as is.
Owning a race sled is like having a totally hot girlfriend..... All of your friends want to see it, feel it and check it out..... They all want to know what it is like to ride it, but if they only knew how much time and money it takes to keep one up, they would call you a fool!

I just need to do some minor repairs unless i find a duffel bag of money or something. Just need to rebuild the rear suspension, replace the slides, possible new track, and get some new carbides for the XCR. Then I just have to get the two older cats running good, Pantera needs a kill switch, and the El Tigre needs a carb slide repaired, the needle on the PTO side is disconnected from the slide itself and needs a new clip I think.

Well the RMK is going to need the shocks rebuilt, tunnel repaired, 4" riser, a good cleaning. The XLT will get a new top end, diffeent skis, new bars and a good cleaning. if time permits the rest of my sleds will get a full redo from front to back.

I have a few plans for my ZRT. AGLT front suspension. TSL in the rear. Need to replace the waterpump seals. My belly pan has quite a few missing screws as some of the holes are messed up and stripped, going to weld those shut and redrill them. Going to do some cleanup and touch up on some things. Check all bearings and regear it(I dont know what gears are in it, as they were in there when i got it).

From my post in February I have changed a few things *
These are for the 91 Indy 650- Proxr seat and tank, 6 in bar risers, 10 in throttle extensions , hand guards, black plastic skis with red loops, newer red snow flap, Lexan hood Paint black on outside red up the middle, tunnel painted black with red on the top,Lightest after market trailing arms and rods,chrome windshield, 151x2in track, belt,secondary, D &R chain case, Get a 151 tunnel? 151 skid. Pull the 650 and put a HTG 1000cc or 1200cc. All most all will say I am putting money into something useless but I want to prove them wrong.

I'm planning on extending the X to a 144x1.25 ripsaw track using most likely Tracks Canada's rail extensions and 3-2 offset axle kit, Western Power Sports Better Boards tunnel extension, powdercoating the rails, making my own seat after extending the sled, changing the graphics or simply removing them, taking the whole sled apart for cleaning and wear analysis, finally getting my jetting tuned better, possibly powdercoating the front suspension, and if I powdercoat the front suspension to being black I'll get rid of the yellow skid plate and get a black one. Its going to cost a lot of money like everyone else but it'll be fun and keep me busy ;)

Well for me I will just be putting my 1.25 ripsaw track on my 02 600 Edge X, and maybe i'll find some better skis. Have to see about that one.
Will try it stock next winter to see how it is.
So far I'm really liking this new sled.
