I rode it for 4 years and it was a blast to ride in the deep pow,but don’t always get the deep stuff every trip.It wasn’t the best trail sled out there
lol! In all honesty I needed this Beast when I was 30 not 50,it was a itch I had to scratch after seeing the Skidoo Nordic 50 (Made in Finland)...
I rode Fancooled Sleds in the mountains for 22 yrs and did not own a liquid sled till 2008.My favorites were 2 different custom built Indy Lites with Mod 488 Fancooled engine that I rode for 14 yrs.Those 2 machines laided tracks on a lot of different Mountains in the Valemount Area which some on...
I have couple friends that use these they seem to be happy,these guys installed floor heat in both there trailers THAT THE $hit.Never had such warm feet getting suited up before lol!
As far as Clutching Polaris came out with there own Primary in 1972 just about identical to what they use today with the exception clutch cover was opened up in 1985 being called P 85.They came out with there own Secondary in 1976 on the TX series,it was the performance setup for years that...
I know this is a old thread,but was thinking of Jim & Carl last couple days and thought I would share this story.Had the privilege to ride with both these guys a lot years ago,this particular day it was only the 3 of us and riding in a low to no traffic area.Jim & Carl were both on their Arctic...
I flew with CMH a lot of years ago to scout out different riding areas that was in there tenure areas that was not suited for skiing for them,nothing came of it but I sure enjoyed the free Heli ride.
My ABS pack is 2005 and canister is still available,the fellow that we purchased 11 packs from was from Drumheller and the following year he had them labeled Rocky Mountain Extreme they were a ABS.
I never rode one,but rode with 2 of them for 2 days and they seemed to work flawless,not the crazy power of aftermarket turbos.But performed well considering only 4lbs. of boost.
I used the Klotz concentrate in a Mod 488 Polaris Fancooled years ago,ran that engine for 14 yrs in 2 different Indylite Chassis in the mountains only.
Yes Pete,Jim would have fit right in there and the guests would have experienced some of his adventures I'm sure.Was never a dull moment riding with Jim,lost count how many times and places where we were in waist deep powder 30 seconds from the truck exploring new riding areas.One of favourite...
I can't believe it will be 31 years since we picked Jim's Sled off the Mountain.I think of him often and his name is mentioned all the time when the old crew gets together.Will never see as much terrain or untouched Mountain Tops as we did in the past,
Good Times.

I started in the Mountains in Valemount 1986 on a 82 Polaris TXC 440 fan cooled,upgraded to a Mod 488 Fan in a custom Indy Lite in 93.Built another Custom Indy Lite with forward rolled chain case in 2002 with same engine,rode that till 2007.Rode some fantastic terrain with those Indy Lites,Carl...
