Was going through the front end components, as it will be converted from its 40" stance to a 36" stance and i found that i was short changed one A

wouldn't it have been simpler to start off with a mtx instead of a crossover btx? mtx aleady has narrow front end, good track, better gearing..just curious..

There are so many ways to answer your question but putting it in a simple way. I ride "MY" ride not a factory ride(cookie cutter).
All my personal sleds have been builds from the mid 80's, some more then others. The only different now is i decided to post this build on a forum for the first time ever LOL.
Its a hobby and i enjoy it as much as riding and it carries a certain amount of pride knowing its unique or different.

Reuse for now. I'm not sure whats out there to replace it with i haven't looked and don't know if there is.
It cover's the fuel tank and the battery.

I contacted Murray at MM... Unfortunately he is not doing any seat for the foreseen year... Was really hoping as that's the only seat I ever used on my Apexs and Nytros. Maybe if there is a demand and enough guys ...

The cold air intake has given us no power increase on the dyno.
But it has been a great improvement in keeping the intake from plugging off in the deep powder.

Again talking to Chad at CR, they have been running the test mule all of Jan and 02 reading's are stable with both intake and pipe. The pipe only is showing HP increases on the dyno.

Pretty much for now, i found that on my Nytro over 90% of the time i was running on low boost settings and just pump gas. On very few occasion i would dial up the boost to get up in the 245-250 range.
I will be installing the pipe and fresh air intake and go from there, you never know what i will do after that.
It is interesting that RS is running this setup also, no power up.
