Just finished this years budget on the mods to my Venture. Went from the 2 up boat to a single seater. Still may put an aftermarket mountain grab bar on the handles later this season. In the next couple years will be looking into a more agressive track. Just thought I'd add a before and after pic for your comments, either good or bad.
Homemade rack
Homemade seat wedge 4"
2" handlebar risers
and a used seat from a phazer

when you are in the market for a track, check snowest. there are a lot of good deals on nice used tracks if the budget is tight. $200 will get you a nice track.

NL, i used 2x6 ripped from 4"to 1/2"@36"long. Find the lightest/driest piece of wood you can to cut down on weight.03viperguy said:good start! bet it is nice and light too
I would estimate I have shaved at least 50 pounds of the beast.

151? really? is that stock?
they made ventures that long in the oldstyle chassis. saw one at a demo ride but i went and ran a 700 tripple venture as i had just bought an et410 and they handle very similar to each other.

yep, 96 venture, vt480tfw has a 151x15 track stockmountainman said:
very hard to find any info online about the tf venture, ronnies microfiche doesn't even list them. they have the articulating track where the last 12or so inches flips up in reverse
Very nice ,I just went to buy a 93 like that , do you know the right way to adjust the flip ??

Will post specs
I will post the specs for the flip track as soon as I go back in the shed and bring in my manual. Been outdoors all day below freezing putting siding on greenhouse and not stepping outside the door no more today
