its just cosmetic! a little wax and all is good. at least your alive to tell the story. so what kinda power is that boosted engine pumping out? you were right in the boost at a good speed when you said "This is going to hurt". I hate when that happens. should have zigged when you zagged! like I said a good wax and those A-arms will be as good as new!

I hope that's it. also need new throttle body and steering post,hood is all cracked so could be a few bucks. anybody know of a cheap place for parts

DirtCheapSnow.com - Factory Snowmobile Parts for Arctic Cat, Polaris, Ski-Doo & Yamaha
Ordered a few things off them now. Relatively quick shipping and a hell of a lot cheaper than dealers here if you're on a budget :d. Good luck!

270. bottom line goes good. Rephrase, it did go good and in a few weeks and couple grand later it will go good again.
Time to medicate again and rest my wounds for the night. Thanks guys

[Sledderglen]

Seems I read a thread last week same area. Wht doesnt someone flag that ditch?

 

[jeffg463]

Oh come on Storch, we'd have a great ride together, just let's not froget the video cameras Hey by the way that A arm looks defected, I'd see the Cat dealer about that!! Get well soon friend

 

[OverBore]

have some good lumps and having a hard time walking but no broken bones.
Happened just east of mornville. going about 40 miles/h and did not see the drop off. only about 40ft wide and I hit the other side actually I hit the other side then the sled piled into me. Good thing I just bought the wife a m6
yesterday might have to borrow some parts(LOL)

I heard that last saturday 2 guys out of a group of 4 just north east of Morinville went full speed into a drainage ditch and caught the opposite bank. Two written off sleds and some broken vertabrae. Was this part of your group?

 

[storch]

no, there was just 2 of us. yes. if i make it out that way i will bring some ribbon.

 

[m8cat]

Feel for man, did the same thing to mine last year ...Sled was two days old and I had a fight with a culvert.. Culvert won A arms and shock about 6 hundred from the dealer, but I was ok for another day. Pretty straight forward to change out. Good luck

 

[storch]

Feel better today but still have not looked at the sled. Maybe couple more days of healing and I will get at it. will let you guys know the extent of the damage. Will also be price shoping so i will let you know the price diffrences.
Cheers

 

[storch]

well feelin better and looks l need only right hand side fixed.
A-arm upper&lower, shock is not repairable so a shock, steering post
and throttle controler and also found hood with damage but will work
(mine has hinge busted and is too FU). all in all around $950 not bad,
could have been a lot worse. later

270... 280... 300... What's the difference? You are lucky to be alive when you factor in any of those numbers vs. a 40ft ravine at the speed you were going. Hope the math doesn't add up too quickly for you on the repair side of things!! Enjoy your painkillers
