i'd personally start with the engine (naturally), and i'd probably have to go with the tries and true polaris powerplant, probably a 600 (maybe a race 440). that's plenty of power to kill myself with. the front suspension would probably have to use a-arms. if ski-doo (and possibly polaris) is going to it with their mod sleds, there must be something good about it. as for the rear skid, i'd want yamaha comfort with polaris or arctic cat durability, so it's kind of a toss up there. the console area would be arctic cat, cuz their new handlebars flat out rule! i would adorn mine with ski-doo grips though. give me any one of the 440 race sleds running boards, but put polaris's heat exchangers under them please. the track would be the new 1.36" snocross track, but leave it 15" wide for me. as for the seat, i love the look and feel of the new pro x 440's, so that'll work for now. the hood design could go to anyone, but the sweetly aggressive look of the yamaha srx's (or whatever they're called) really turns my crankshaft, so i'll take that too. give it too me in red, white, and blue with a full 13 gal of gas and let me ride!!!- what do you guys think? how would you do it?
