Here it is, a 2000 Ski Doo Formula Deluxe 600. Started off 100% stock. It has electric start and reverse. When I bought it, it had been trailered without a cover and left outside, so there was a lot of things that were rusty. I had a 2001 mxz 600, so I swapped motors to get the clean one, and also the flatslide carbs. I swapped out ski's and windshield. Added a MBRP can. I put on handlebar risers. I removed the old track and replaced it with a 136" and put on rail and tunnel extensions. I replaced all of the bearings on the drive axle and jack shaft, and replaced suspension bolts with stainless bolts. I replaced the plastic wheels with metal ones so I could have them painted. The original hood had a crack in it, so I bought one to replace it. I took all of the wheels off, the shock from the rear suspension, trailing arms and the hood in to have them painted. Once I got the hood back I found out the headlight used different mounting locations than my other one so I had to track down a new headlight and a split headlight bezel. Finally got it all put back together and polished the tunnel. Just did a quick job, I am planning on doing it well this summer. It's actually a pretty quick sled, it hangs with my 800 pretty well.

The bike is a 2000 R1 with micron carbon fiber high mount pipe, ohlins steering stabilizer, aftermarket undertail, red tomahawk tires, and double bubble windshield. I bought it stock and put all of the extras on it.

I know they don't match. I ordered them off ebay, so I didn't know what they looked like until I got them. Yeah, she loves it. She hasn't gotten to ride it since it has been done though because all of our snow melted.

They are metal wheels that I had painted the same time as everything else.

She wanted the brightest pink she could find. It would've been brighter, but it has a pearl over it which made it darker.

Don't worry, I kept the original hood. And trailing arms and wheels are cheap. I don't plan on switching sides though, so I'll probably find another girl to ride it if that happens.

Well, it is for sale if I can get what I'm asking for it. The price is probably a little high, but she doesn't want me to sell it yet. I want to get us each revs next year. I sold mine already and put hers up for the fun of it. She will most likely be riding it next year.

Hey i talked to Jake the old owner of this sled. And he said he didn't have an account on snowmobile fanatics. This sled isnt stolen or anything? Or are you just Bsing everyone? What is going on.

You definitely didn't buy this sled, I still have it. I am curious to know what you paid for one like it though. Let's see some pics too.
