I think it adds personality to it Matt.

Looks like a great project.

I have not made much progress, but I have decided that I'm not going with the stock suspension and track. I picked up a parts sled - an '88 Polaris Indy to be the donor.

Way to go Matt!! Make it "your" sled and it's a very cool sled at that.

DA

The good is she'll have better suspension!

Nice Sled! Good luck with the suspension swap.

Now there's a plan.

It will be cool when finished.

what kind of mod will you have to do to stuff that in there?

Are you going to use the Polaris track as well?

Post by **Matt** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 6:48 am

Yes, I'm using the Polaris track. It happens to use the same drive pitch as the original, but the drivers will need to be moved about 2" in on each side, and I'll need to add a set of outer half-drivers or just round wheels to support the outer edge of the track.

The Polaris driveshaft was a little too long, but possibly could have worked, however the drivers are a larger diameter, and I think track clearance in the front of the tunnel would be an issue.

What size was the Indy? Not all of them have the outer wheels. Usually the 500 cc and less sleds just have the 2 drivers.

650 triple. Do you think I could position the drivers to the outside lugs of the track and be OK?

My 400 Indy and at least some of the 500 indy's position the drivers to the inside lugs.

I think you would be fine using either sets.

I plan on just using the inside lugs on my 4/6 Liquifire project

With only the inner I would think consistent track alignment would be a problem.

I'll have a look at my Indy's
I will try to get some pics

Indy 500 has drivers in the center lugs only
