Put more stickers on it. Preferrably Monster. It will look more spectacular as you crash through that wooden ramp you built...

I think you should take either the monster or the red bull sticker off.

700 transplant  Looks like you've some decent stuff already, skis, thong headlight trim and black covers. If you've also got a decent track just leave well enough alone....looks like a nice sled as is. Make sure everything is gone through and greased up and any worn parts replaced and rock it.

If you have some extra $$$, sell that and buy a rider forward sled.

Why because he didn't use a tall riser and flat bars? Or are you part of the lower bars in your lap is better crowd.

Geeze tough crowd here. The sled looks nice Jonny. Stickers aren't my thing but if you like them i guess thats all that really matters. The best bang for the buck is setting the sled up properly in the first place. A little clutch work, jetting, and proper traction really can go a long way.

Stickers aren't my thing either, but to each their own. All that counts is if you like it!!!

Clutch it and rip it. My 01 440 had a speedwerx titanium spring kit in it and that thing ripped. Go to dootalk.com and search around the 440 forum. Tons of good clutching advise there. You'll find alot of people recommending Dynamo Joes kit. http://www.mxzx-revzone.com/article/step...ar-114.asp
