Hi Folks,

Need ideas to spruce up the old sled. Nothing radical, not changing tunnel or anything but would like to lighten it up. give it a nicer ride. Motor is ok but ideas there appreciated as well. Remeber nothing extreme but ideas appreciated.

Thanks folks

probably Easier to trade up. you can trade into a pretty nice sled, alot newer, for less then a bag full of new parts. Just my :twocents:. good luck with your project. What are you trying to accomplish?

I happen to have one of those for sale......

99 670x 144" x 2" with a fresh top end @ 200Km and reverse....... she's seen a couple culverts in her day but runs like a top....

i wish the guy i bought my sled off of was as honest as you

You could get a longer track, go from 121 to 136 very easy!;)

I have a great 97/98 670 skidoo new motor last year ready to go 2" track $2500 out the door

when did you get this? i got the same dealy. 97. fresh top end last year. not sure what they did to this thing but it has sick power for a 670. i am sure it would smoke my ho. took her for a short rip yesterday to check the trail cam. wow is all i felt.:eek:

you could also call a couple wreckers and see if you can get a susp out of a special. they had the fox shocks and more travel i believe. but other than going newer dont think there is much you can do.
