That is indeed a WOW!
That is one wicked looking setup. I feel so inadequate around Campbell.

Man, that statement just made the project totally worth it......thank you Brian!!400brian wrote: I feel so inadequate around Campbell.
JDT - The bars and controls are off the same sled that the engine came from, 2002 MXZ800. The grips are from a 78 Cyclone, 4" pivot riser block. I have some more pics posted over on the VSCA site.... http://vintagesleds.com/bs/index.php/topic,44654.0.html
Don - I hope you and Bob can join us on the St Germain Poker Run, all kinds of space on the lakes for some wide open throttle test rides.
Thanks guys.

Re: need some wow factor
Kevin,
Aside from making Brain feel, well, normal for him, that sled looks great so far! No wonder you needed a Dator hood, it looks like that is the only way the pipe would fit under a 'stock' hood. I will have to see more pic's on VS. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see and ride the finished product at St. Germain.

Re: need some wow factor
Paul - I am going to use the rear exchanger from the donor Doo under the seat and a 78 Liquifire bulkhead exchanger in front. The Deere front bulkhead exchanger is larger than the Doo unit, so I should be as good, or better on the cooling capacity. The Dator hood scoop is just for looks and will be closed off, no room for a front mounted radiator with the big expansion chamber.
Thanks for the compliments guys, I really appreciate it!

Re: need some wow factor
Kevin, I would suggest the 80+ liquifire front heat exchanger rater than the 78, the 78 has the fins & in minimal snow conditions will catch dirt & hold it where the 80+ will just wash it off..

Re: need some wow factor
Kenny - the 78 exchanger has already been on the Bridgeport mill and the fins are 3/8" shorter after a few passes with the fly cutter. That 1.25 lug track needed some room up front and those fins looked a bit on the over-kill side.
