if those are viper front shocks on your vmax, make sure you have clearance for the can on the shock when it is bottomed out.

Those are indeed Viper S shocks.Been running those for a couple of seasons now .Work fantastic. I leave the plastic adjuster knob off the top to avoid clearance issues .Thanks for the heads up.
Love the graphics, Is that paint or decals??
Very cool!!

The top of the hood and the white is paint. The red stripes are vinyl. My interpretation of a 30 th anniversary sled they never made(but should have). I still have the original hood as well. Glad you like it,thanks.

Nice ride! Northern Michigan has lots of snow now!
There is too many pivot points in a proaction rear skid and its all plastic bushings even after replacing all plastic bushings with new ones they t still really loose and the shock has to flex all those joints before it can react with the sled. If u replaced all bushings with bronze bushings and hard shafts the skid would work sooo much better but would b twice as heavy and it is already heavier than others. All that flexing ends up in the w arm if u ride it hard through the moguls like I like too and that will need repair work soon. I've trashed 3 different ones and ill admit I used to be hard one some of them. Something about riding double with chicks on the back and hammering down. Oh we'll they never left me stranded just couldn't get rid of that feeling of the skid just packing up and not knowing what to do. It's part of the reason I switched to doo for 5 years. I pounded both doos we had harder than my yammy due to the confidence u get after u don't break your sled every time u jump a snow bank and land wrong. But the motor problems they experience aren't confidence builders. So I'm building best of both worlds

the breakage and bushing issues can be overcome. though, hard to beat the ride of a modified mono or a m10

Hi Rick. The M10 sill fit in your sled. You just have to follow mounting instructions. There are great details in the tech section. I ordered the M10 direct from FAST. Check with them for their current pricing & shipping. It does take about 8 hours to complete. Seat is from Boss and I ordered it direct from them as well.You'll also need to use a bar riser and I would strongly suggest you have the steering post reinforced. You will snap it off if you don't...its only a matter of time. Check the classified section for used deals.Best of luck on your build.
