The paint job was done by Cody wood (Paint Trix) and I one night in 2003. Yes I have been working or should say slacking for a while.
This sled is very light weight and is powered by a 670 Rotax. It has a 4" rolled chain case and J&J lite seat.
I just finished the Fat boy pipe and split it into two Mike Hare stingers. It sounds deep and torque y.
Yes, another one to come home on a trailer. I picked this 1992 GMC Suburban up form a guy in Sandy. He said that the transfer case was out and everything else was good. Well that said I took it to the shop in Levan and Jerry and I tore into it. I put a new transfer case in and took it for a drive. There was a loud banging in the front end so I put it back on the hoist, the front end was also bad. I drained the oil and it was pure aluminum. Well to check the gear ratio we pulled the rear cover and also found that the spiders were also broken. What a pile of junk, I should of had a clue when I saw the bowtie on the truck that it was not going to be very good outfit. Well not to give up I got a front end and new spiders and repaired the problem. I then drove it to Draper and fitted it with a set of 20's. It looks good and runs awsome for now, next the motor will have to be looked at where it has 260,000 miles on it.
Peterbilt ready to go to its new home for a complete work over.
Check out the skid marks on the pavement, It took a little to get it to move off the blocks.
After we got it loaded ready to take to the shop, My $1000.00 dump truck. Good thing it is a Pete.
Ken driving the Pete onto the trailer with a little help from the Kenworth at the other end of the chain
Ken and Jerry were putting on the rims and tires back on the truck
Looks good on this side
Not so good here
Darren stuck bad on a hillside. We had to cut down the tree to get him out. This was on Guardsman the following weekend. December 27th 2008
Buried to the tunnel on this one Darren. It had snowed thirty more inches from last weekend.
Glen got bucked off his sled in the deep powder
Dallas and I were cutting new trail when we both got stuck on a steep hill. I almost topped it. We were warn out from digging out all day, it was so deep.
Loading up to go home after a good day of sledding on Guardsman's Pass on December 21th 08

Stand back this fire is getting big
This is my 450 with 22.5's I bought the rims from a wreaking yard, then took them and had them polished. The tires are 255/75/22.5 Sumitomos, They balanced out real good from the custom cut inner rim on the rears.
The truck still has the same lift of 5" that I had on there before. The truck stands only 1 1/2" taller.
The tires are all in the factory wheel wells so I didn't need fender flairs.
I have always wanted to do this to this truck and it turned out great.
This is the new Dunstall tank and seat, the frame is ready for the powder coating
I worked the frame over and removed the rear peg tubing and any extra bracket not needed on this bike.
This is the motor before I pulled it out
I had all the engine and hubs polished to a chrome finish
MJ trying out the new ride before the total rebuild. I have been looking for a clean 750 all summer and this is the one.
This bike needs a strip down from all the extras that are on it. The turn signals, mirrors and crash bars are for dorks. And needs to be heard more, she is to quiet.
As for the bike we found out it needs a clutch, I could not ride it when I bought it because it was raining. O'well I can fix that.
I replaced the handle bars with Clubman cafe bars. Also new grips and bar end mirrors.
I took off the stock exhaust and put on a 4 into 1, then cut down the front fender that will be painted black when I rebuild the rest. I took it to its top speed of 120 mph in fourth gear, I need it to pull fifth gear and I hope to see 130 mph. She is going to be an awesome steed.
