Polaris 600 XLT mod sled build details 

Keep watching I have some more xlt vids coming, lightweight trailing arms, seat mods, engine mods etc.

The sled that gave me tons of motivation

It's a good boondocker but doesnt have the power for the mountains. It's fun though! Thanks for watching!

Lou is a true Canadian through and through

That isn't for sale - too much fun! Thanks for watching!

Haha Loue, I love looking back at your old vids and seeing how much you've progressed

Just waiting for more parts to arrive - it's gonna be a nice build!

check out my carbon fibre vid!

yup, should be up there soon to play!

Agreed, a new one is on the way.

Where did your heat exchanges go when you put new running boards on?

Love the build. Looking for ideas for my ZRT800. Just love the specs.

what kind of track did you use to get 1 3/4 and how longer it have ?

that sled is so cool

Thanks for the video man! It gave me some idea's! :D

I have a 96 Polaris I’m putting grippers skis on. The bolt is seized into my spindle as well. The rubber spindle cushion for the gripper ski isn’t thick enough on my Indy spindle. There is a lot of movement. I’m unsure what to do

I have a question regarding front and rear suspension upgrades for older snowmobiles from the 90s Polaris Indy 500 or xlt .etc. Can you just put newer and longer front shocks and spring to make the ride smoother over bumps especially, or do I have to put a completely new suspension: trailing arms, sway bar, endlinks etc just wondering as I heard all the older snowmobiles have a pretty rough ride and I am looking into getting one for next winter and was wondering if I could just put on different shocks and springs so that way I could have a smoother ride over bumps

PowerModz Would a 2" lug track fit that particular sled or would the lugs rub inside the tunnel? that's something i have been trying to find out before i buy a track i have a 1994 XLT and i need a new track so i want to upgrade.

Hey, I have a 97XLT with the extra 10 suspension... I have a line on a 144" skidoo track. What other things did you have to do for the skid to mount besides new mounting holes? Did you have to modify anything else? I really want a 144" track with 2" paddles. My sled is completely stock otherwise. I imagine I would have to gear down to a 8T from the 9T.

It'd be fun to try!

thank you your vid helped a lot

If you have a Skidoo 159 skid, then you have a Skidoo-type track... so you have Skidoo's drive pitch? How exactly did you find a track that would fit that skid, but has the old Polaris 2.52 drive pitch?

Hey Lou really nice sled and you are inspiring me to make one like this how much have you put in to make all these mods? Thank you

Hey just wondering how the hell you fit that 1 ¾ paddle track in the xlt mod sled!! did you have to do any mods ? (different chain case ? remove the front heat exchanger?) I'm having a track issue with my 500 classic touring mod sled ! thanks !! keep up the awesome video's !! love the XLT!!

Do you think i should have a PSI single pipe or SLP twin pipes on my polaris indy 500?

Ya it's called an "Axe Mate" works slick! Comes in real handy - that machete is a good idea but I use the axe to test ice thickness on the lakes.

Primary question. I see you have Blue spring and 10MW installed there. .... Q: what is the wot peak rpm you see there? What is engagement rpm? I am getting 4900 and 8900 which I feel are too high.

i second this. this guy is a genious! i'd love to see what the magician can do to a lowly wedge.

Question About The Oil Delete?? Just wondering if you left the oil pump arm hanging down without any cable attached? I bought a oil deleted XLT and all likes are still hooked up. Just the cable is removed.

Whats your tunnel extension made of?

i would love to have that sled its the sickest thing ever!!! does it keep up with the newer sleds??

what lug flex does is it pushes the sled upwards instead of just forwards, crucial for deep soft powder :)

Shes a good ole sled!

Sweet!

I've been thinking about it, the only thing is that they aren't as strong - and I like to hit trees.

Hey ishobie I have a quick question, I have a xlt and I am modding it and was wondering about the seat. I am getting the same seat you have. How did you mount it? With the gas tank? Thanks

I'll be doing an edge at some point, but have my sled projects lined up for this year and into next, maybe 2015! ok maybe summer 2014:)

Where are you buddy? Haven’t seen a video all winter. Everything OK?

hey sweet sled, I have a 95 xcr 600 and 94 xlt 600. I want to mod one out or sort of combine the two i was just wondering what would be the best to do(if at all possible). I want to take the suspension and track out of my xlt and put it in my xcr as well as put triple pipes on it. I want to put a newer style seat on as well like you did. I'm just curious as to find out if i should just put triple pipes on my xlt motor and just keep the suspension on there or is it worth using the xcr motor THX!

Well, I'll leave it longer on this one and see how it compares next year:) I'm not a big fan of the bent over lugs at this point though:)

I have some on it, yes a very good idea. I forgot to show them/.

You can!

I Would Cherish a Sled Like This.

It is only around 100hp so it doesnt on the flat stretches, but in the bush it doe s- and it's all about the driver too:)

what year is the sled??

you should do a ultra build

Those XLT's were not ment to be speed demons anyway haha. But Love the sled! I am about to extend my 98 RMK from 136" to 159" and I cant wait to not get stuck... as much XD

what kinda pipes did you put on this?

i was just wondering....do you think i can convert a touring snowmobile into a hardcore mountain sled

where do you order the belts at?

I could, but I have so many other projects! Maybe some day though!

holy shit, 121" to 159" extension, i wish i could do that!!!

hmm, check the HP ratings on the xcr motor - some were about the same as the xlt but i think the xcr motor is more powerful - do a compression check and just figure out what engine is in the best shape - and make sure you clean your carbs and synch them!

how do make the carbon fiber parts?

lol, it's awesome! going to ditch another 20 pounds this fall as well - then it'll keep up with the 540 elan:)

Is this the aggressive chassis?

The lift your using if the factory running board coolers were still on would the lift damage them?

Will do thanks bro. (:

for the pips all you did was cut out the part over the left shock, some cutting in the front, and little bending on the right? is that all? i have the same sled and i want to put pipes.

any thing done on the 700 doo? :)

I think it would do pretty good in the mountains.

in quebec!

Yes you can! , i built mine Yamaha Venture 600 into a mountain killer! well.. almost :p , haven't changed the belt and the boggi yet

fixes your gas cap or get a new one i got water in my sled not good

I like what you did with that sled check out Wheatley sleds I have a nice Polaris edge 800 mod I've been working on and a few others I have done

Nice

Haha, i like your axe mount. My sled has a gerka knife (nepalese machete) and I thought i was the only one.

A1 vlog

that things nasty

can you mod a yamaha enticer 340 -79 :P that would be awesome!

what airbox was that? Yamaha?

what is the new gear ratio?

I heat taped my pipes on my 95 wedge, works great

are you able to make a 1996 polaris indy 500 hood out of carbon fiber for me? I will pay you. I am going to mod my sled and i'm trying to loos as much weight as possible. If you will let me know how much money it will be, we could work something out.

you should build a wedge mod !!!

Where do you live??

not really, snow conditions dictate how much snow gets up there, if you drive a 3 inch track on a groomed trail you;ll get no cooling.

Be cool if you did an old xc700 wedge nose build

i got some fox float 2 's for my 440 indy for 450$ new from fox ride good

Its an evolved chassis

Great ideas....not much on craft....looks like a cobble job.

i wish my belts would last me a whole year!

Your slacking on this. I wanna see more

fun time buugy and that
