When changing boards and bumpers, I too notice a huge performance advantage. Hahaha Niner Six Niner!

You better get new bumpers for this challenge then. Niner has twice the bumpers as you. Therefore he has the hp advantage.
Now that I think about it, I am experiencing bumper shame. I have stock ones. I better have a beer.
On another note, I think Benny should blatantly copy bumpers and make a big run and powder coat them. Everyone else in the biz does it. And Benny has the welding connections. Just do it!

Dynotech did a Alpha after doing boards and bumper and seen a 4 hp increase just so you know.... I will find a pic of the dyno sheet....
I ride a lot with JMCX, we travel some rough roads to ride where few do, his method works well,100%.

Good to know. Heard back from Superclamp and they are not going to produce anything for the monorail so guess we’re on our own.
I honestly think a guy can adapt a normal superclamp for the ski’s to work. I’m going to try a few things when I get time. Maybe develop my own product......

One front superclamp for two Alphas?

Maybe.
I’m brainstorming a design to use one on just one alpha. May require sacrificing one to make it a little less dumb looking but will see what I come up with.

Picked up my machine today. Covers are on back order so didn’t get that. Also FYI these come with no tools except for the one to spread the secondary and one to remove the hood screws. Doesn’t even come with a spanner to adjust the shock spring preload which blew my mind. Cat doesn’t even offer one. The dealer had to look through 3 books to find one that looked like it might work so they are going to send it to me if it does. If not they may have to contact Fox directly.
No factory place to secure a spare belt that I saw either so was wondering where y’all are storing them?
Bumpers are definitely number 1 on the list. Tunnel stiffener also. Along with removing that monstrous stock can. Boards will probably get done eventually too. Gonna delete the snowflap immediately also. That thing is hideous. Might look into a different tail/brake light also-something more low profile.
Not sure how I feel about the ski colour-really green lol. Rest of the machine looks pretty good. The gauges are killer!!! Way better than the calculator screen on the Doo.

This alternate method is unproven and my sled is dirty. No guarantees if the sumbitch works as a intended. Skins flap..
Why is there one paddle in the middle of the track?

Easy now. Lots of good and not necessarily bad in my post. Just improvements it needs like any sled.
Have to ride it before I decide how I like it. So far I’m pretty pumped though. I think it’s gonna be a gooder.
So about those stock belts you were talking about........

Good observation! Maybe Niner is gonna have a one paddle advantage over the next sled.

165” divided by 7” is 23.5 paddles. That is the .5 paddle.
