I currently have a 2006 m7 162 LE, I hit a rock in Dubois, WY this year and insurance took care of me
. The sled is still very rideable, and I already have some stuff done to it. RKT Torsion Conversion Clutch, RKT Billet head, 2009 bumper mod, 2-wheel kit, riser, Skinz Super-Q can, side vents. so I have some options.
OPTION 1
Take the insurance $, and put into my current. I would go w/ the RKT 800 BB. No fuel controller, 160hp, and already have a bunch of stuff on this sled.
If I was to sell the M7, I already have some offers, I would have 2 other options w/ a budget of about $8k:
OPTION 2
I would be able to easily afford to pick up a 2009 m8. I would probably get the SLP pipe kit, swap my clutch kit, and possibly some other mild mods(head?). I would be in the 150's for HP. I would most likely NOT need fuel management.
OPTION 3
I could stretch the budget and POSSIBLY find a 2010 M8 but it would have to remain almost completely stock. Swap my clutch kit, and a can would be about it. I like this option the best but finding one in my $ range is proving difficult.
I am leaning towards opt 2 or 3 b/c of the increased value I would have in the sled for resale or if there were another insurance claim. So if you could give me your opinions, and/or any experience you have had with any of these set ups that would be greatly appreciated. I am especially interested in the comparison between the 2009 M8 w/ the add on's vs. a stock 2010 m8.
I live in MN and go west 1-2 times a year(cooke, togotee, Dubois, W. yellowstone) and mostly do boondocking, climbing in the trees and deep powder. so a pull/go sled is important to me.
Thank you so much in advance for your input!
