today i got a little constructive while waiting on parts for my xp rebuild so i built a steel bumper since my aluminum one was a taco and i drilled out my lower air box and doubled up some window screen over the holes. so like the title says post your progress on your sled. any and all mods from 860 bores to a little personal touch like vinyl or powdercoat.
this is my home built bumer

this is my lower air box mod. 2 1/8" holes double screened.

Look into getting the S36kit and different skis maybe if you ride in the mountains a lot. I built a Turbo XP last summer, then sold it:beer:

A couple other almost free "mods": Put pet screen on all the openings to keep snow from coming in (reduce snow/weight buildup and increases belt life), Google "XP footwell mod" (makes footwell almost as good as XM), .... The XP can be made to handle almost as good as the XM, cost a fraction and the sled is much less weight....

A little before and after, plus full rebuild. new cylinders, dual ring pistons, slp hill climb head. also screened off all hood holes to keep excess snow out of engine bay.

next up a 2 wheel kit.

yesterday I painted my side panels with fusion krylon. we will see how well it holds up after this weekend, I've got 3 days of riding planned.
