Just wondering what everyone thinks of the look? Eventually I'll throw some decals on, or a sled wrap, but for now money is going towards functional parts and riding :). Looking at some MOFLOW side vents in white, and the Mountain Addiction fuel rack system... Along with scratchers. And eventually a can for sure!! The stock can rivals the previous M1000 cans!

Keep the flap and just cut the bottom part off and you will have no worries with it this winter, plus it will help keep the temp down as it will hold some snow up under. That is just my opinion. Sled looks good and the polishing looks like a mirror. Good job.

Nice polish job. I also say leave it white with no sled wrap. But its your machine.

The snow flap and the light are staying. Nothing wrong with it. Snowseeker, you seem to have missed that I have already taken a notch off the flap :)

I polished my tunnle this year too and what i did was used an angle grinder attachment, looked loke connton wrapped up un canvas with a polishing brick from bumper to bumper and used that all over and then did a final coat by hand with autosol.

Did it all by hand with Mother's Cream type polish. Many hours and cuts from the running boards!!!

Did not take the tunnel off. Couldn't tell you!

nice looking sled u have there! bet u cant wait for the snow to fly and lets hope we get lots this year! solid black cat seat would look even better on it!

I would love to throw the black cat seat on as over next summer I think I'm going to powdercoat the suspension parts white, so the orange would be out of place on the sled. I don't really want to pay for the seat though. I wonder if I could trade straight across with someone????
