7080nik thanks for watch. I also have a video of my 80 txl with twin pipes running on the stand. Please sub and check out all my video's. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Thanks again
Shane Roper thanks. Yeah I have a soft spot for the 650's. I have 4 of them. Please subscribe, YT is coming out with new policies next month and a small channel like mine will be going away. Please help keep me alive and posting video.
I have a 91 RXL 650 that I bought new and still have it .I buy a new sled every 2 years ,but I kept the RXL. I think it is the most beautiful sled made.I love all the little things like the red mesh in the grills.
Trevor Wilson I just sold my 91 RXL that I did a restore on. It was beautiful when it was done. I just wasn't a big fan of the early EFI system. Please subscribe if you like my video's. I have plenty of them and always making more. Thanks
What a blast from the past! Thanks for the video. Even though I was an '80's kid/teen, I could barely afford a used tx340. My friends and I drooled over machines like this. They were talked about like a mythical god among my friends.
Outstanding job. I had a 77 Electra 440 that's when Polaris was building some amazing sleds for the time period. Nothing could touch the engines and some of the best brake systems inn the world. Thanks for the flashback
What a sled man. Looks fantastic. I use to have a 1980 centurion 500 about 20 years ago. I loved that sled but I remember having nothing but carb problems with it.
THETOPGLOCK yes carb problems can definitely can be frustrating. Believe me as many sleds I have. I've had my fair share of them. Thanks for your comment!
@@toddclyne3493 I have an 89 Indy 650, and it's a pretty sick sled itself. I have had it doing 100 mph in a long farm field before. That headlight on yours looks pretty dull. You can get a sealed beam convertion kit for those, so it will take an H4 light bulb. I have an HID blue ion bulb in my 650, and I can see very well with that.
So good fishing to you out there... fishing on that Lake.... that Lake out there that I would like to fish... I'm probably going to be working on my sled all summer.... track engineer ring.... so I'll be in touch ..
Very cool. My first sled was a '79 TX. Sold it in '93 shortly before moving 30 miles away. About 8 years later I'm looking out my front window and the guy across the street is riding around the yard with a friend. I told the wife, "that looks like my old TX". then I saw the numbers painted on the hood and said, "that IS my old TX". Went over and tried to buy it back but he wasn't selling.
Cygnus X what a great story. I bet you remember all the fun times you had on that sled watching him ride it around. Please sub to my channel if you haven't already. I'm going on a vintage ride this weekend and will be filming. Thanks
awesome build man , looks sweet , sounds great ..crazy how technology changes.. a '91 650 triple had 108 HP.. my '02 polaris edge X 700 twin is 135 hp .. was a doo guy all my life till my polaris i bought at the end of the season last yr .. sled i rode before it was a collectors holy grail "1993" ski-doo mach Z... it was modded , almost 200hp and my new to me 700 twin seems almost as fast as that 779 triple was .. really rips! .. would be cool to take one of these older sleds and drop in a VES 700-800 twin .. would be insane
I live in Nova Scotia our winters are frigged haven’t been able to get the old citation out in atleast 4 years I miss it so much crossing my fingers for this year
Me and a friend built a Merc trail twister. We took out the 440 and put in a twin pipe ski-doo 5500 motor. The skis wouldn’t touch till you let off. It was a blast.
I love it.Im still planning on a 71 puma with a 91 lynx skid underneath it so it's rubber track. Was thinking a 600 ZL twin but not sure yet.If I could find a 800 twin maybe.
Couple yeas ago I bought a "97" Storm 800 Triple ....2,300 miles ....$1700.00 ..... been working on it .... this,that the other ... My skis spend some time off the ground ... I like your Centurion very much.... you did a great job on it ...Michigan ...
Need some space to let that bad boy stretch it's legs! There is no sound like the Polaris triples, that is one sweet sled. Great job! I had a '91 RXL w/ Aaen pipes and minor clutch tuning and it ripped. My wife goes into demon mode over winter mowing, so watching the lawn work was a treat. Enjoy and pin it!!
Cricket10 thanks for the sub and comment. Ya she's a beast for sure. We have it out on a vintage ride today in Northern Minnesota. Got to stretch the legs big time today across a couple lakes. Hang on at 90 plus!!! Thanks
You ever notice if you have a studded track in the Spring time wherever you road? The grass is greener because It actually Does something like Air rating
Nothing like the sound of a piston port engine! I had a 650 RXL engine done by SLP taken out to 693 cc make roughly 160 hp and had a sound of it's own.
Now this is a real sled. Not some transformery looking over assisted and complicated modern piece of $h!t. You have another sub! I wanna get a sled (a triple would be sick) once I have the finances. Thanks ride safe brother!
@@toddclyne3493 I definitely will man! Cheers. I used to have a 96 Indy light 340 and a 97 488 Indy trail. I’m kicking myself for selling them. One day tho like I said. Your videos give me the drive to get another sled and like I said I want something with some power. I love how the skis lifted on your Centurion. I’m sure with the new 650 that thing is a monster now! Cheers!!!
Pretty cool build boss! I have a few old tx models, well maybe more then a few...haha but I'm planning a build similar to this with a 800 triple free air.. pics n vids to come by end of this winter.. Awesome job though!
My first sled was a 74 Moto Ski 440. It absolutely ripped for its age. There was basically 2" of suspension, but we rode em hard anyway, right?? I love what you have done with your sled. You mentioned how they pulled over for you on the nostalgia ride. I guarantee you it was out of respect. That, and to watch those beauties go by....
PA28140 I grew up on a 72 skidoo elan. My brother and I probably did 5000 miles in the yard around the house. Couldn't kill it!. I have one moto ski in my fleet. It's a 71 mini snow that all my kids have learned on. I'll never get rid of it! Thanks again
@@toddclyne3493 Ok I'll go check them out as well. I just picked up a triple yesterday nothing sounds like them great power. I posted a video of it running I'll post a good walk around video of it soon!
Arctic Jeff you bet it is! Just put 80 miles on it o. Saturday in a fresh 6 inches of snow. Brap brap!! Please sub I have more video's I'm sure you will enjoy.
My 79 440 would pull the skis easy also. Nothing would keep up with it to 50mph back in the day. Buddies had 440 john deeres , artic cats, ski doos etc. Beat them all. Few el tigres and blizzards would get me at top speed runs.
PA28140 oops hit send to soon . The new sleds definitely ride nice. The new sleds usually pull to the side of the trail to let us come by. I'm not sure if there being nice or concerned one of our old sleds might lose its steering and go out of control. Lol... Thanks for commenting and please sub to keep my channel going. Thanks
That sled is awesome! I am an Arctic cat guy and even I can admit its a bad ass sled, how can there be 35 dislikes?? Must be Ski Donkey fanboys jealous over this one !
I can't figure out why someone would click on this video with the thumbnail showing what your about to watch then dislike it. Jealousy is all I can think of. Thanks for the awesome comment!!
Your welcome. I am an Arctic Cat "sled" guy but a Polaris ATV wheeler guy :-) (4) sportsmans!! Really I like anything that is fast and cool, brands don't matter to me as long as the styling is there! This sled of yours just has a very clean and cool "rest-mod" theme to it :-)
Everyone I need your HELP. New YT policies starting in February will put a small channel like mine in trouble. PLEASE hit the subscribe button to keep videos like this one coming. I need 670 more subs to hit there mark. Thank you everyone for your support!!
My stock 500 would have given you a haircut I think. (your clutching seems to be pulling the revs down too quickly) I looks great. Helmets are cool too.
Check out some of the recent videos of this sled racing a bunch of sleds on a lake. I dont think youll be singing the same tune. Wasent a safety training video.
To bad polaris has just been successfully sued by Ski-doo for stealing their ride forward design. Not as junky as artic cat but still behind the pack of Ski-doo ingenuity and success. What are the stats, 3/5 sleds on trails are skidoo? Polaris should stick to the mountain where they have a temporary advantage
