I still have this sled and would be interested in trading it for an older 100 series sled if anybody in the area has one. i still haven't had a chance to mess w/the sled really but it fires off starting fluid will need the fuel system gone thru....

Guys, I had the pleasure of seeing this sled today. It needs the seat recovered, a windshield, new fuel lines etc, seals, and one OEM ski (a replacement ski comes with it) to be PERFECT. This sled is NICE for someone looking for a rider, I promise you. Naturally I would buy it just to turn it but I'd prefer to see it go to someone that would ride and enjoy it. Volkshead is a nice young man too. DA

Dusty, it's a nice sled. There is another one in Warren, IN. but I can't get together on price with him or I'd own it.

I have been riding the crap out of this sled since we got dumped on this past weekend. Its a great little runner. Probably gonna take 650 to get it out of my hands if you really want it... Seen the one in warren on ebay he was asking 800 for it in non running condition from what i recall??

I welded up the ski that was hit and it seems to be holding up alright.throttle cable broke off on handlebar end so i crimped on a piece of copper since it seems impossible to find a replacement..
