Real nice work! Love the electric start and I see you used my ski brackets :wink: Keep me posted how they work out for you.
If I can make a suggestion ..... Please don't make the same mistake I did with your battery. Buy a AGM glass mat battery.
It will never leak any acid and ruin your nice paint job etc. They are much stronger and work better in the cold and handle the
beating better than a flooded lead acid battery. They seem to hold a good charge forever .... Careful those bolts holding the battery
do not rub the hood like mine did. I switched to a good heavy rubber bungee cord.
Beautiful sled man and I love the NOS secondary!

I didn't like the battery either, but I had it on the shelf to try. There was a lot of coin spend on nos parts on this machine. Thanks for the comments guys but it is no liquifire II !!!

Both it and the Liquifire II are amazing sleds.
Yours has a couple custom touches, but basically stock. Liquifire II is an awesome custom!!

I just put the first 5miles on it, ran real nice. The only thing that didn't work was the handle bar heaters, hope I didn't order the wrong set of Polly hot grips!
