Nice build, love them vipers. Looks like it was a pretty clean sled before the crash. will be a awesome build to follow!
Finally getting sometime to work on this project again. I spent the past few weekends installing a skid in an Apex XTX and adding power steering to a Venture EPS.
Working on the running boards and installing the Mono 128 Brackets.

I was going to mention doing my board mod but I see you already installed some covers.
I have some pipes and head if your going to go piped?

Not sure if I want to go that route or not... might want to leave her stock. Not sure if I want the headache of pipes. I was hoping to build the Viper the way I wanted the SX-R to be when it was released with the Red Head motor and wanted a single piped power valved motor.

No problem.. wanted to keep it more stock anyway..
Then we put new bearing in the chain case, changed speedo side bearing and mounted up the track and jackshaft. I really wanted to get that mono skid in place to be sure everything was put in correctly....and it all worked out.
I also started to work on the rear plastic cover. Needed to notch it out for the tunnel extension. Working on a custom mounted rear exchanger and plumbing.
Next up will be to get the old girl on her skis

Nice sled, loved my viper too! Just got addicted to ride height and BOOST of the 4 stroke.
What nytro is that bumper from?
Looks similiar to this but no bend in handle for easier grabbing?

Hey sled any chance you can measure the width of that bumper? Trying to see if it would fit the width of the hartman tunnel extension on my apex. Thanks love the build!
