Just thought I'd show my sled, just about finished, 151 with timbersled rear suspension going in this summer, and a few other mods to lighten it up a bit more. Check it out.

2009 rev xp rear susp, tundra front pogos, camoplast skis, 136 x1.25 ported track, jaws custom pipe, 540 yami fan soon to get dual carbs, rev seat.
Thanks for looking

Definitely looks better than the old 383

400 wet, so I got some shedding to do! I know of 25 I can drop easily with the suspension handlebars, and another 10 here and there, then it will be getting tight to lose any more.

Thought it was lighter - but I can still pick up the front end and back end with ease.

love it!!! that reminds me of the good ole days when i did whatever it took to shave weight. now we just build bigger motors.

I found the front suspension you used to be heavy, looks like a fun ride, it's amazing how much fun a project like this can be.
I did the same kind of thing with an old Phazer. Best handling sled I have ever been on.

The front suspension is kinda heavy, but only a bit more if any that the steel skis and leafspring setup that was on it - I went with comfort We'll be shaving weight off the pogos as well - it's going on a diet. But that said, in 3 feet of powder today I couldnt keep the front end down on it.
