Hey Rowdy,

Just be careful as to what bracing you put in your ride.

Some make the chassis too strong, and it crumples spots in the sled that may turn a relatively simple 'nun' fix into a full blown chassis crumple.

The aftermarket industry kinda 'jumped on board a little too hard' and put out some extreme so called solutions.

The parts 422 and 107 sound like a good buy.

Best thing, if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

BINGOOO

nun = 300$

damaged transfered to the rest of frame --> new sled

are you racing snocross? of course not.

why build it that way

tunnel stiffeners and call it a day

Unfortunately you haven't seen the effects the weight of a larger rider can do on a snowmobile. If I may, I think Rowdy is looking into these braces/brackets to strengthen the Chassis for "hitting it Big".

Thanks for the correction about front end collisions!!! that must be why BRP has them all over their short track Racing Sleds, it's for front end collisions.... Or maybe it's to weight them down so they are the same weight as the competition

Thanks for the good eye poking Buddy!;)
Sorry. I guess you gotta learn to wear a good set of goggles when you are around me. Ha Ha. I guess I misunderstood about the bracing. If she is doing some big drops then the tunnel supports and rail reinforcements may be a good idea. However Rowdy doesn't look like from the pictures I've seen of her to be putting down alot of psi on the seat. She probably doesn't need the bracing but it is important to practice safe launching. :d:beer:

No worries! I only installed the Tunnel stiffeners and the Bulkhead brace behind the can on my Revs for the same reason others have stated. However I'm not a jumper/stunt guy. I'm just a little on edge about getting my eyes poked out every time a guy tries to offer a suggestion on here lately...

I really need to get back on my medication again...

Not sure where this post went of trench's, but I'd like to comment on that.

Maxwells response:ehh...

over and out"

now maxwell I know you are supposedly "god" or something on here and about snowmobiles, but why do you feel the need to bash someone for wanting to order out of the states to save money? Pretty sure I like saving money. Not to mention Bombardier is blatantly raping Canadian's for prices on parts.

I will restate what I told you on fb after your comment on there too...I am already going to Deer Park, Washington, so why wouldn't I get my parts shipped there...I will save, not only on shiopping fees, but on the cost of the materials I've ordered. All in all I tallied my savings at somewhere around $500...now...my math may be wrong but that is slightly more than a "couple of bucks" in savings.

Shopping online to save a few bucks, for sure... Buying local, yep.

The bigger picture to me is buying from people you like and want to support. That's my idea of shopping local. You buy from people that support you, and you make the money you would have saved back anyway... You get to keep the good guys in business, and the world is round :)

If your a big momma that likes to do big drops i'd say the only extra bracing i'd throw in is the tunnel supports:d Otherwise ride it!!!!

I would agree with this they are made to ride and not destroy... so if you want to ride hard (or harder than you are now) dont go overboard with supports as it does get VERY expensive when you take a hard one and have to decide.... do i fix it or junk it and buy newer
Just a thought

I edited my post because Maxwell said something stupid and I didn't want to be a dickhead and make him look bad. I value his contribution to the forum and usually enjoy reading his stuff, but he was out of line and knew it. As far as buying products for what ever you do, it's your money, do what you want. I go to the local dealer to check for size and buy online!!!
