Waiting for the 2014 xm to get here. Then it will get a can, just not sure which one yet either MBRP or a GGB.

Nothing, having broken my neck on the first ride last year, I'm hoping to tune the nitrous and clutching i installed on the 860 last summer. Maybe swap the Baker skid for a t-motion, will ponder some more on that.

nothing this summer as my baby is 1250 km away ... don't tell my girlfriend I call my sled baby, or "the luv of my life"

maybe in the fall she'll get some luvin ...

my girlfriend is going to be sooo jelous, and then the season will begin and SHE'LL BE PISSSED !!!

but seriously, I'm thinking of doing very little and running the old girl until she blows up. then buy another RT1000 and part the old girl out. $3000 - $3500 for another with a rebuilt motor. who knows how long the old girl is going to last, I doubt I'll be riding as many days as the last 2 seasons so maybe shes got another season in her. it was built by a guru and blessed by god. now with 9509 MILES on the sled and over 7000 miles on the motor. we'll see ...

Cutting down my handle bar riser and changing Oil this fall. Nothing this summer as I'm living in my shop but sure by fall I will have the urge for a 270 HP coffee table for the rums. Hmmm guess maybe a mountain mod seat then!

Doing some clutching changes, clean up engine bay, change steering post, replace one sleeve in skid, possible gear change, remove more weight, replace burnt out can, and maybe try some supreme tool power valves.

Baker's got a T-motion arm done now. Seems to work pretty good.

Going 174 x 3" on mine with a few other goodies. I'll likely freshen up the top end too.

Baker had a website for a while then let it go. Give him a call at 403-254-8686. You need to be persisent as he's in race car mode these days. It's best to try him mid week.

I went south out of Yellowstone and the headed east for awhile (can remember the highs or towns right now) but I drove bye 9 different sled parking lots! It looked like some nice riding down there!
