Ak Sno's Sleds!

[AK SNO RIDER]

So the first thing I did to the new Pro was throw some stickers on her. Just to make him happy, credit for the placement of the 509 decal goes to SBA. Haha.




Then I installed a gas rack. Gotta get a can with a real lid though.



Tonight I temporarily pulled the gas rack off and polished the top of the tunnel with Mothers mag and aluminum polish. Here is a good comparison shot. Might do the tunnel sides sometime too, I dunno, lot of work...




And thats it on the pro for now. Not too bad for being the second day I've owned it.

Onto the 600....

This is the oldest pic I could find of it. This is fairly soon after getting it. It was 100% stock. By time I took this pic I had a can and the risers on it.



I'm gonna skip posting a bunch of pictures of the sled as it progressed and just skip right to the middle of last winter when this happened:



A connecting rod snapped and as the broken end flailed around it destroyed the motor....completely. Literally cut the motor in half. It was held together by the head. The head and mag side cylinder are the only parts that survived. Over $3200 and a month later, I had a new motor built from the ground up and was able to get out for a mid April spring ride. As it sits the motor only has around 150 miles on it.

Here's another picture of the sled in it's current state.
