New Custom Sled Project......

[Maize]

OK....I got the new wrap from Jordan. AWESOME!!! I must say.....

I still have a few a things to finish up.

I have to put the carbon fiber skid plate on, I just got a new set of USI Triple Threat pink skis, change out the center spring, put the lower rubber straps on and mount the front remote ressies and it is done.

Look for some up coming posters. Dootalk's own Dani Medin is going to be modeling with the sled. We will be selling the posters. After I recoup my cost for the posters, all the procedes will be going to Pink Ribbon Riders.

I will be displaying the sled at several Pink Ribbon Rides this winter, along with club fun runs. The sled is to help raise awareness for cancer. I have lost my dad to cancer, and my wife lost her mother.

Pink Ribbon Riders is a GREAT foundation that assists with in-home help for cancer patients. My dad needed these types of services and I want to help not only raise awareness for them, but also try to raise some money for them.

Dani is heavily involved in cancer awareness and she was a perfect fit for this project. We should be doing the photo shoot soon. I will also be taking my blue sled and she will be modeling with that sled, also.

Here is the new sled wrap:

Any plans for EGT or CHT gauges to monitor temps?
As a founding member of the Haul'n Fannie club I'd like to be flown in for any and all photo shoots...

No gauges on this one. It's a fanner....and it pains me to say this...but the motor is all stock...DOH!!! Did I just say that???

I do have plans for a Holtzman ATACC soon, though.

I can let you know the day of the shoot if you want to go along. I am going to be taking some "behind the photographer" shots to put up on the website. Kind of like the "making of" kind of thing.

I did put the finishing touches on the sled and took it on its first run today.

I had a bear of time bleeding the brakes. I finally had to take the caliper off and put the bleeder screw on the high side and used a vacuum pump to pull all the air out of it.

I then filled up the chaincase with Amsoil synthetic chaincase oil.

I got the RPM Composites skid plate and belly pan on it.

I got the new USI Triple Threat skis with Woody's shaper bars put on it. I then aligned the front end with the track.

I finished up the decals and took it for a quick spin. It had a heck of knocking sound from under it.

I pulled it back in the garage, and found that I missed one window when I was cutting them out. Easy fix. All is working perfectly now.

This thing goes airborn sooooooooo easily. I have a little berm from the snowplows at the end of the street.

I may have been doing this all wrong with going bigger, bigger and bigger on the motor. I REALLY like this 550fan...at least until I hit a lake. Then I will REALLY want the bigger, bigger...LOL.

Here it is done and ready for the riding season.

Well...a lot of phone time today. I locked up the photographer. Wayne Davis of Wayne Davis Photography (http://prints.wayned...photography.com) is going to be doing the photo shoot. He does alot of Ski-Doo factory photography. You would reconognize some of his shots from the product booklets.

Dani Medin (http://www.danimedin.com) is going to be doing the modeling for this shoot. She is the Dootalk sponsored rider, 2008 Pro 500 Hilldrag Champion, 2008 Pro Women’s Hillcross Champion, 2009 Pro Women’s Hillcross Champion, and was runner up in 2009 in both Sport 500 and Sport 600 Hillcross classes.

We are locked and loaded for the photo shoot for January 6, 2010.

Once the photoshoot is complete. We will be making posters of Dani and the Pink Ribbon Riders sled. I am only keeping the money I will have invested in the photo shoot, model and posters. All the rest of the profits will be given to Pink Ribbon Riders. They can be found at www.pinkribbonriders.com.

Pink Ribbon Riders© (PRR) provides financial assistance to both men and women diagnosed with breast cancer. PRR hosts snowmobile and many other events as our fundraisers.

The Pink Ribbon Riders is a small volunteer based organization. The organization is a donor based organization, this means that they need the support of donations.

So in the upcoming months, look for the poster of Dani with this Pink Ribbon Riders sled. Help out a GREAT cause, the Pink Ribbon Riders. I lost my dad to breast cancer, and my wife lost her mom to breast cancer. This is going to be my way of giving something back to help promote awareness and fund raising with something I know how to do.

Please help make a difference....Thanks to EVERYONE!

We'll be getting one of the posters for her wall, let me know when they are ready, she can't wait to help a good cause. My wife lost 2 aunts to breast cancer as well.
