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?

The Tunnel Dimension to the outside is 17 1/16" But I had to bend it out a little to get it to fit right. Pretty tight fit.

Thanks sled!!!

Vipers forever!

It was very hard to sell my Viper and move up to a 4 stroke. I think they will be a real collector sled someday. Good job!

Thanks, Your right, I really think it will be one of those sleds like the SRX that someone will want in their collection.

Started to lay in the wiring harness, install the tank, and adding trailing arms and shocks...

Looking really nice. Are you changing to the red sx style seat? If so how come? Just curious.

Changing sled over to red and black... couldnt find a nice Viper Seat and always liked the looks and feel of the SX style.

Looking great Tom!!! Those pics bring back memories of my Viper rebuild.

Curious how you are going to wire the grip heaters. Looks like Apex bars and grips.

 

[MrSled]

I know looking back on the build it looks like I have the back of the sled finished...but I didnt...LOL

Here are a few pics of the custom rear cooler being put in a plumbed. As you can see by the photos I had to make some mounting plates for the cooler, drill and mount the cooler, notch the rear plastic and bring it all together with the seat and rear flap.

I also started to put the hood together with the light pod and gauge area and found some broken parts.

Main things left to do is drop the motor in and put the chain case back together with the reverse. This little project did not have a deadline for this summer, mainly just something to tinker with.
