What are you trying to accomplish?

Call Don's Speed Parts.

I'd think a Y-pipe, aftermarket single pipe, and some proven clutching would be the ticket. A Boss highrise seat would be sweet as well.

rusty · 04-03-2008, 08:05 PM

better handling with the skis and a little extra power for the times that i need it.

Hey Rusty
I used you for a test video,spelled wrong but it worked.Check it out,I also put a vid of the aftermath of the avy I was telling you guys in wineberger.If you decide to upgrade your cat keep me in mind eh.Dont do too much to it if you decide to sell it.
catmando!
Myself I would put a boss seat and sno eliminators and ride it!

The warden's sled got SLP's for ski's. With the Carl Modification I think it's the best ski for the M series. It's decent on the trail and awesome in the powder. We both took off our simmons this year, I find them hard to side hill with in marginal snow. They are great on the trail though.Running 35lbs front ski pressure made it much easier to handle.If you only want a little more power when you need it then gas is your best option.

With the M8 it all depends on how far you want to go.. Because with good porting and a head, you can make good gains.. And it wouldnt hurt your reliabiluity.. We are doing a few cats over the summer at the shop..

hey thanks for the info. i might take catmandos advice and just put a seat on it. Maybe some new skis. seems to hunt on the trail at higher speeds. Those simmons skis would clean that up. Do they make a kit to convert them to simmons

Let me know if you come up with a replacement for the fox float. I agree it isn't the best
