    Smile 2010 sled build thread :) that time of year again!

    soo this is how it started. last year i had a 2007 yamaha phazer fx all done up. right after i had everything powdercoated i posted it online to show it off, and well, someone thought they liked it more then me and offered me money for it that i couldnt pass up. I NEVER even got to ride it that way. my intentions were to sell it but i didnt think it was going to happen before december. So i waited till after the new year to purchase a 2010 after the price went down some. Some of you may remember i picked up a 2010 Skidoo Renegade Adreneline 800r. now... this thing FN RIPS! so since i tinker with everything i own heres the build thread

    the day i picked it up.. grandpa machine


    after the first 2 weeks i owned it i installed a shorter windshield, hand gaurds a 137x16-1.75 track and 7in wide "powder hound" skis. this is the way it sat all summer.

    this time around i had powdercoating done to the a arms, spindles, suspension components, rails, and bumpers. i dropped the gearing for the track and also i dont need a sled that goes 118mph for what i do. next thing i did was i modded the factory pipe. on this sled it has an internal stinger that makes it much quieter and maybe rob some hp? i cut it open and removed it, welded it back togeather. i also added a cpi "twin" silencer to make it sound saweet! all my parts are supposed to be here wed, so there will be an finished product come wed/thurs

    this is the current state..

    You need to invest in your own powdercoating setup!

    Mike at hy-tech powder coating has been really good to me. I can't complain on what he has charged me to do the last few things. I don't think if I did it myself that it would hold up to what iv hit/put it through. I think ill leave it to the professional lol

    Shouldn't your guy or company that does the coating know that? And warn you about it or at least inform you the customer about it...

    when powder coating after the parts are painted they have to be baked in an oven no lower than 350 degrees then let cooled thus making the pieces weaker
