    I guarantee if you come muskie fishing with me even if you catch nothing you'll need Advil to deal with pain after

    What's the wire for? That is the best part. Nothing. Something used to be connected to it. Was tucked up into the run for the bars so when I cleaned up the wiring I thought it ran somewhere. Wonder if it was OEM, or added for something aftermarket. Either way that's kinda funny, previous owner: "ya I'll just tuck it up right here with a bit of electrical tape around the end and call it good."nothing on my sled is or. Not the motor, the harness, cluthces, cdi. .....nothing

    RF Punch 300.2 and RF P1T-S Tweeters

    The new punch stuff sucks imo. I've got a couple of their amps that came with my boat that I'd sell cheap

    Jimmy's Eggs is a pretty good place (breakfast & Such), also Mcallisters has great sandwhiches and tasty tea. Bei Wei is a really good Chinese place if you catch them late enough they're open around ~2, oh yeah Hog Wild has some pretty good BBQ too. Why are you headed to Wichita? Really just to go. Going to a place that sells higher quality groceries than Walmart. I've never been out there so I thought why not. Maybe you should have a gone a direction different than Wichita then. If you thought Fargo was desolate or uncultured...

    Where? Curious since I didn't know that and our products go into every one of their plants

    Found my ghost. Short on the one wire I didn't change. Figures. Boo on the original owner not fusing anything. WTF. Almost like it was a Ski Doo or somethin'

    Generally springs are swapped out for weight, and valving is then tweaked for a "sweet spot." It's also pretty common to be able to use a stiffer spring, less valving, and end up with a plusher ride--though the latter is a bit generalized. I'm not very familiar with quads, but coming from dirt bike suspension I would think most of the principles still apply. Interesting. Softer spring and more valving is more the norm on the snow. Let the shocks do the work since you can adjust those. Adjustability is what gives you a plush ride.

    There are definitely better shocks than those, but they are easily enough for me.

    Not saying there is a parallel, but I thought I rode aggressive. Then I got my IQR. First ride with the stock shocks on it and I all of a sudden realized that Levi Lavallee is super man. That being said those same shocks with a trail rebuild and it is a complete different story. They take the one foot whoops great and swallow road approach air and 8' culvert drops without bottoming. In fact in 400mi I've only bottomed the rear twice and the front not yet. I just have 16 way clickers, but I highly recommend adjust ability within reach. I soften it up for groomed trails and turn them up for ditches. Allows a nice plush ride no matter what you are hitting or the trail. These are what I have: http://walkerevansracing.com/products/31-snowmobile-16-way-compression-adjustable-ifs-piggyback-shock.html

    I need a 2" water temp gauge that at least reads down to 80F. Would prefer digital as it'll get shook to hell. Beast would climb in temp running at WOT and then settle down at cruise. Really fast. Happened somewhat sudden. Thought I had ran low on oil or something. Coolers in the rear weren't hot, but gauge showed it. Saw no increase on the EGT's either (not calling 1150-1200 an increase - 1375 is okay where they are). Pulled the gauge and either broke it by connecting to a 2 amp charger or it was effed already. Tried it with 2 different transducers and it showed Lo in 185F water.

    What's the current temp? Temp here keeps jumping around from 40s to 70s. Got use to 30s, then 40s, and then jumping to 70s and I'm sweating like a pig. Then I imagine summer riding in 100s. *headshot* It's 38 right now. Fucking sucks. I want 10.

    Another 50mi lunch. I'm a sweaty fucking mess. Really wish the temps would drop.

    Get a set of forstener bits. You should be able to find a cheap set st the home store for about $20. They will drill flat and work faster than a wood bore. Perfect, ordered off amazon. I'd make a jig/guide. If you can clamp your drill in a vice and slide the board up to it or the like. Goal is to keep it perpendicular and centered. Any drift and things won't mate and will look lik e crap.Hmmm. I can definitely clamp the drill in a vice, but can't imagine keeping the board perpendicular (8' long). Too big of a hole to plunge route? The router I have is fixed. Guess this gives me a reason to buy a plunge router. Hole is 1-1/4" That'd be a HUGE router bit. Forstner set is your best bet. Be nicer on a press to guarantee the angle, but just be careful.
