Got it today. :) Looks very good, a few things that have to be fixed. I havent driven it yet, just looked over it.
Seems that the rpm- meter doesnt work. Dont know about the speedometer. It has a Øhlins rear skid shock, dont know the shape of it yet. The foam on the air-intake is missing on one of the intakes. Some pictures:

Looks pretty clean! I bought new foams last summer. Those weren´t too expensive.

Seems like you need new ski skins though... I have red ones on my ´96.

got them from here -->

Was just taking it for a spinn. It sure rips very hard. :D Found out that it has a switch that shuts off all the lights, that also shuts off all the meters... So now everything seem to work. :) Have to tighten the track, it rips over the drive wheels when accelerating hard.
Ike: Where did you get the foam from, local dealer? i think i will set on some wider ski skins that original. I have a pair laying here i will try out. If they are not too wide..

You might want to change all the fluids in that cooling system too this summer. When I bought my sled, it had really "interesting" stuff in the cooling system. Probably never changed...

Was in the mountain with the Vmax4 last weekend. The weight on the sled i had after the vmax4 didnt feel so heavy as it used to feel before ;)
