Aftermarket Kimpex Tracks

Post by eppjd »

Has anybody had any experience with aftermarket Kimpex tracks for the 00/JDX series??

I found this site, probably old news but I wasn't sure.

I haven't had any experience with them, but I got the new Royal Distributing catalogue last week and noticed that they are listed as limited stock. Kimpex seems to be dropping more and more of the old sled parts, when the limited stock is gone that will probably be it. If anyone has any connections they should try to get the moulds before they toss them, if they haven`t already.

This track is extremely common and was used by dozens of brands of sleds.

Very easy to find good used ones and even NOS ones on shelves.

The 2/3 cleted track on like the Cyclone is another story.

Thanks for the info, just keeping my options open for when I start the restoration on my 800. Fortunatly enough the Cyclone I am doing right now has a next to new Kimpex aftermarket track on it already. (well, before I took it off)
