What's everyone doing to their XM's for the season? I have been stockpiling a few parts and now that the sled is home I have some work to do. First round of work I have ski scratchers, track scratchers, quick clickers, grip n rip braces, Baker tunnel braces and drop bracket reinforcements, Toms Emotion skid, 162X3 track and Avid 7 tooth drivers. Should keep me busy for a day or 2. I have a few more things to get at the sled show, shockwave helix, 10'' wheels and offset mount to eliminate the rail kick up. Then I'm going to hit the snow with it for the break in and it will be off to the Micku shop for a new hair dryer :). Lets hear what everyone else has on the go...

Skid plate, TheThing, the infamous ferniesnow screen kit, a rack for the back for the shoes and chainsaw, a large Gerber saw/machette for the side on the odd chance that I may have to cut a tree or two, and a Canadian flag or two on the tunnel. Other than that, it will be stock.

Racers edge makes em. They are billet aluminum and mount over top of the stock bracket. The stock bracket breaks if you jump your sled. They look sharp too. I have a set I'll take a pic if I get a chance.

I pulled the a-arms off, front springs, front and rear bumpers, chaincase cover, brake cover, riser, spindles and tunnel edges, and got them powdercoated.

one more night and she will be all together. It's looking pretty nice.

Other than that, Quick Clickers, a clutch kit, and I'm gonna ride it. Rip n grip bracing, grease zerks in the spindles,,, and that's about it.

In terms of what I usually build year to year, this is about as close to stock as I think I've been in a long time. Machines seem to work too go to tinker too much. 154SP will get emtion rear, have a Skinz concept front end to try, HPS can, lightweight battery, grip and rip bracing, some clutch parts, few bags, MA Track Rack, some new bumpers, prefilter kit, have a small assortment of skis to try (Grippers, MODS, DS2's), scratchers. The truth is..the longer we go without snow...the longer my mod list will probably get

Haha that's the reason I dont post pics of them anymore actually, not a fan of taking the risk on color choices, or products etc, then someone else just goes and does all the same stuff because they know it looks good now. JMO
