Not trying to be cheap but... Do you think anything off an already built TNytro, 12 174 Timbersled skid etc. can be fitted to the
new viper ?
Nice work on your new viper - I'm really trying to not buy another sled but..... Ah what the He$$.

Very nice build!

I ask because you have hands on experience!

Did Yamaha get rid of the " loose tolerances " in the steering system the Arctic Cat has forever had?

Thanks for continuing to push our sports R&D forward!

You could use the track and maybe the skid, but probably not much else.

I think you would really like this chassis though.

The bushings seem good and tight on this 1100 cat chassis, and I expect that Yamaha will use similar bushings. The aftermarket will have upgraded bushings anyway.

Almost done!
Has our low boost turbo kit installed with water to air intercooler and Garrett GTX turbo.
This sled will be at Yamafest.

Love your fuel system in my TSS etec! I would definitely consider one of these as a first four stroke. I felt this chassis handled very similar to my Doo, and coupled Yami power it's a win win. Keep up the great builds!

Would be nice to see the progress BUT ... I bet you will see zero pictures of the turbo install - I would bet a few turbo companys would love some
free HELP - PL will be eagerly waiting with RB3,s to make the ultimate Viper :D

Well it's on the snow! Still some fine tuning to be done but gave it some blasts around the yard and seems super responsive with the stock motor and GTX turbo.

It has the stock 1100 bars. They do not have the telescopic post.
Been ripping it up on this sled the last couple days and can't believe how much it feels like a Pro. It easily has the best throttle response of any four stroke I have been on.
Had a customer stop by today to tell me he is ordering a new Pro and would need a turbo kit for it. I told him to take the Viper for a ride, when he came back 10 minutes later he said forget the Pro, im getting one of these. Lol
