Sounds like this week should be a good reload, I’ll be there Thursday for a few days, hoping to see an alpha on the snow

So where are all these Alphas?
We've been riding Valemount since the 10th. Havent seen one Alpha on the hill.
Rode belle and chapple back in November. Same thing not a single Alpha.

Dynotech finally released their results on the 2019 performance sleds. He dynos them all before the drag races that happen in NY. The 800 C-tec was 154hp. The Axys 800 156hp and 850 166hp. The Doo 850 167hp.

Then there's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u64-ozvqb3I&feature=youtu.be

Big difference on the Bikeman for the Alpha - was in the 163-165hp range for the Ctec.
Bikeman would have to run all sleds as they may all be 10hp higher?????
Have to do all the same day same location to be fair.

This along with efficien't clutch and driveline would explain why Alpha running with the 850s.
I'll have a 17 and 19 doo to compare with all weekend.

Used 1/2" puck board and counter sunk the bolt head to 1/8 from flush then heat bolt and melted to flush to stop bolt head from spinning when tightening. Loctite threads as not accessible once mounted on tunnel.
Used 6 SS 3/16 pop rivets with the larger 1/2" heads to mount to tunnel. Put two sided tape around perimeter so nothing vibrates.
Backer washers in tunnel to stop pop rivets from pulling through tunnel.
SOLID mount so you can stack cans two high for long trips.


cool. on the skidoo 850 those brackets just bolt into predrilled holes on the tunnel. no fabrication required:rollinglaugh::rollinglaugh::rollinglaugh::rollinglaugh::rollinglaugh:

now if these OEM accessories were priced a little better.

Charging $225 for a $20 gas can.
Insanity bot when you only have a 36 tank.......
All accessories no matter from who are crazy high. Good thing anything can be justified in the name of sledding!!!

Gotta buy the smaller one that is non stackable. Its way less and what we sell the most of. Like you said $200 is retarded for a fuel can.
