You see, I have a Polaris Ultra spx, PURPLE...yeah, I kind of want to keep the sled because its hauls a$$! 680 tripple tripple, but i want to give it different colors, pure black with red accents, (grills, skis, grip tape, slides, etc.) Wondering if this will bring down the value of the sled? I may want to re-sell it one day, let me know what you think.

It wont make it loose value.. However as long as you dont expect to get more money out of it when you try to sell it you will be fine..

the way i see it... should you sell your sled.. chances are a male will buy it how many men would rather have a black and blue and PURPLE sled like you have now... as opposed to a black and red sled!? if anything i'd say you mite broaden your selling demographic! hell my sled was pink white and purple i couldnt change that fast enough haha just my $.02

I have a 96 ulra and im thinking maybe next summer (to much to do this summer)i paint it black and grey or even just do custom decals that are the same as the stock ones but in grey. I would have to powdercoat the springs grey, change the foot grips and belly pan but i think it would look good.
