Hello. I have a 17 rx with a cameo kit that works great for me. I'm in the snow belt of the U.P. I love riding in the woods, overall it handles excellent.
I have a brand new Rekluse clutch in the box that I will never install anyone looking for one I will give an excellent deal.

This set up rips pretty good, I am a little biased towards my husqvarna. He went everywhere I did, LOL.

A big skid plate to help bust through the snow piles, and also slide over stuff....it also helps keep your feet from being blown off the pegs as often.
Some really big foot pegs with aggressive traction for your feet.
It will want to run cold and thus very rich fuel mixture, so a thermostat to keep it warmer.
I like a headlamp for my head coming down off the mountain at night.
Heated grips are a must and hand guards.
I spray the underside and swingarm etc of mine with Pam before every ride as it helps reduce the snow sticking. Change oil often due to fuel dilution from running rich...and use a thinner oil.
Most of all just enjoy it...i love snow biking.

Extra mods I put on my 450 rx: PST engine blanket, thermostat with digital readout. Frog skin on all my vents to airbox, along with a little homade engineering to the open holes at bottom of airbox which works great, I don't get snow into airbox unless I dump it just right. I also use a dry air filter. 509 ignite battery heated goggles work great. Maybe get some heated grips but I had no problem last year, it's amazing how much hand guards help. I was thinking of upgrading to aero 129 with 3inch paddles but 7k! I really enjoy the camso 129. It's great for bombing through the trees, very easy to maneuver. But would like more suspension for jumping.
