shortie viper to mountain

[dlange]

guys I'm taking my stock 02 viper and turning it into a good mountain sled. What skid and track would work best. i have a 07 attak, but I've heard they totally suck in climbing in the powder, so I'm going to set up the viper for the mountains. Lets get this going lol!

What kind of dough you wanna spend is the first step.

 

[dlange]

not a ton, I was thinking about a set of used pipes, a used 2 inch paddle with a set of rails? I already have a set of powder skis for it. I thought I would spend a grand or so. I want it for one or two trips out west a year, and for powder days in the up

get the mountain performaance transfer rod eliminator kit and put better ski's like c&a's or similar other wise your front bumper will shovel snow non stop

 

[151Viper]

I have a basically stock 02 viper with a 151X2" conversion on it and it works fairly well I think. I bought a 151 kit from Hartman inc. and installed 8 tooth drivers and geared it down for high elevation riding. I did make a strap kit to remove the transfer rods which makes a huge difference. I have also been experimenting with different clutching setups and cannot find one that works well I would recommend talking to Hartman and getting the right clutch kit as that will make a huge difference. I did bend a set of rail extensions because they get pretty long going from 121 to 151. After the first set I built a reinforcement bracket to keep that from happening again. I would probably reccomend looking for a used skid of some kind if you are going to stretch it out. Let me know if you have any questions. Yamiman has also just completed a nice viper stretch to a 159 and has some good info also.

Raise the bars 3-6 inches, If you have a sway bar lose it. Tall windsheild, good shovel, Jack and avalance beacon are all things I would do before pipes. They all make powder riding in the hills fun. Gear it down for a top speed of 85 mph. Anti ratchet drivers are a must. If you head out to ride Grand Lake, Rabbit Ears or Steamboat area, E- mail me, If I'm riding you are welcome to join up with me and my friends and we will show you some local secrets.

viper or attak

already have 4 inch riser and powderhound skis. Jet need to extend I guess. I was going to strech the attak, but I think the viper would be just as good stretched, and I could keep the attak set up for the midwest. What do you guys think?

 

[yamiman]

i bought a new 153" m7 rear suspension for a few hundred dollars and set it back to a 159. i bought a new track for $400 and a hartman tunnel extension for $150
and $150 into anti ratchet drivers, so for a $1000 you can have a good setup and its better than buying a kit to make your stock 121" longer, i really didnt spend a $1000 cause i sold my stock 121" suspension for $425 believe it or not and my track for $200 plus it looks really clean. i have some measurements if you wanted to go this route.
