I've only had one ride with it on but no issues so far. I agree, guys have been running them for a couple years now and I wasn't able to find anyone talking about heat issues. You're right, if the turbo guys have been running them without issues, they must be fine.
I picked it up at Ralph's in Calgary for $320. Install isn't too bad. I used a Dremmel with the flexible extension for the cutting. Used a cutting disk, cutting bit, and grinding stone.
Kinda late to this party, but I just wanted to say how happy I am with the Speedwerx tunnel dump can that I just installed on my 2010 M8. I've always had to deal with the exhaust side bog on this sled and it has really limited what I can do on it, maybe even more so than I thought based on my...
There was another group of 6 riders in the immediate area that witnessed the slide. The eyewitness reports indicated that the slide seemed to start slow, like they all do, but when the wave of snow came over that first ledge about 2/3rds the way up, it looked like it was travelling 100 mph...
I think what you are trying to say is, "If you use your brain, you probably don't even need this equipment". Obviously we'd never actually leave it at home, but I think you make a good point. If you use your avy awareness training and good judgement, good chance you'll never get caught...
Yes, this I can understand and agree with.
The Feb.19th avy happened approx. 4:30pm with 911 messages going out almost immediately. Sunset was approx. 6:30pm. Approx. 15 min chopper ride from Golden. I'm told all victims were out well before sunset.
Everyone just needs to be aware of how a...
Sounds like three SPOT 911 messages were sent within minutes of this avalanche (approx. 4:30pm MST). No helicopter was dispatched, and when the RCMP were asked about that, they said they do NOT automatically send S&R via helicopter when these 911 messages are sent. S&R was dispatched via...
My regular riding buddies were part of the rescue/recovery group there. My thoughts are with them, as well as with the families and friends of the victims.
I've never looked into a dealer in the Edmonton area, but I bought mine at Optimal Case and Light here in Calgary. I think I paid $145 for the Model 1450 including the padded insert.

I got tired of tunnel bags coming apart, straps ripping off the bag, things getting wrecked, etc so I tried a Pelican Case and have been very happy. Even though its not shown in these photos, I bought the rubber tunnel pad that Cat sells and it sits on that. Nylon straps are rivoted to the...
We've been removing sled clutches with a puller and a hammer for years. Trust me, cranks don't break like that because of it. BUT, siezed bearings have been breaking cranks for as long as I can remember.
How many miles did you put on it this year before the crank broke?
