Are the ski loops removable?

Where do you ride the powder? I'm looking for places to ride this upcoming season...you could probably remove those ski loops and put on some white ones...I'm guessing that's what ACB was going to mention...
Might me wrong but I think he was thinking of having the loops painted another color or replacing them with colored ones.

Ahh that's true, I didn't even think of painting or replacing the colour!

I ride in woodstock and lonon area. I ride the tree lines and ditches, drifts, along with a couple of hilltop spots where there is sometimes 3 feet of powder.

White ski loops was what I was thinking. Get some white duct tape and start w/a strip that covers the inside of the loop. Then put a strip on the outside of the loop to cover the remaining blue. Prep w/Naptha and use a heat gun to aid in adhesion.
Also, if you could add a bit of white up @ the mirror area. Is there a molded in place on the back side of the mirror that you could add some paint to.

Skidoo loops work and they make them in white.

My bust. I was picturing the hand guards in my head and mirrors is what I put down. I was thinking of a white accent stripe. The mind is the first to go.

That would look wicked! What would you suggest to paint the tunnel?

No worries! I was thinking about putting white on the hand guards, but I don't know what to use that won't chip when I hit a tree branch...

Aluminum wheel paint would work good aswell as most automotive quality enamels like "engine paints" On the running boards you can use a bed liner so it wont wear off and it will give you alot of added grip over the bare metal.

Do you have any pictures of what you stated before done to a sled? I just don't wanna do it, then not like it and struggle to get it off...

Ive seen it done on vipers before but now all you get is 2014s when searching for anything viper related. Just look at the older sx sleds that came factory with a black tunnel. If your unsure you can plasti dip or vinyl wrap the tunnel for removeability.
