Not much left on that toboggan.... looking forward to seeing the progress. I might put a tune on my 17 this year, and get the shocks rebuilt.

Nope pretty bare right now, wife wasn't to impressed that I took a perfectly good snowmobile and made it like that. I figured she learnt when I tore my dirt bike down to the frame for a rebuild but I guess not. lol
Doing ascender tank and seat too?
Wait till she sees the rebuild of the bike trailer for the kid haha jk.
Powdering anything while in there?

You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. LOL!!!
Projects and machines have two states: #1 Stock - for the ride home from the dealer.....then #2.....5 minutes after it gets home.

Yes to the seat. Short seat for the non electric start sled. Then the plan is for a custom tank so I can relocate my turbo location. See how much time I have and what gets done.

Yep she knows I can't leave anything stock. Even her SUV I lowered so it's level and put bigger wheels on.

I'll powder anything that needs it that isn't looking to great. Front A-arms for example.

No I'm pretty boring for that stuff. Black and white for the win.

Was thinking about the MCxpress 225, but after calling the Canadian distributor about it in March, and him being baffled at why I wouldn't go 250. Then I asked him about clutching and he didn't know the sidewinder target rpm is 8700-8800 and why I would need less weight for mountain riding vs flatland riding I kinda lost interest in it.
Not interested in spending all winter trying to clutch the damn thing.

Really? I would have though mcx had their sh*t together, I have been fighting clutching on my evo tuned sidewinder, this year I gave up and got an apex primary and nytro secondary and some other stuff to help. My buddy has the hurricane tune and it rips, blows some dark smoke every now and then but he is going with the stand alone system this year. If it was me I would probably go hurricane and they seem to be the only ones who keep progressing with their tunes, evo is non existent as far as I know but could be wrong. I have never ridden a stock winder so no idea how much these tunes are actually adding other than their claimed horsepower which I hear is a pipe dream.
Some info from Catman10 winder. Stock it was 55 mph track speeds. After the hurricane 270 tune and 174 3” and clutching he was upper 60 mph and low 70 mph track speeds on long pulls.

This is interesting I had my old winder tuned with Evo as well and played with clutching a lot that first winter in 17. Worked well in the end but clutching was always hot. Tried different sets of weights springs angle of wrap tighter was an old Nytro trick but in the end just had to give it more breaks. Ended up switching back to the two strokes as I found they just floated better and regardless of brand cooler clutching.

Did he end up putting the older clutches in niner ? Or was he able to make the stock ones perform ?
That's were I am with current clutching, 55-60mph depending on snow conditions with a camo extreme 162x3
