I am currently using two VMAX skid frames in my half track snow rail (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gyun4WAS37c) and need to carry the weight higher. Both VMAX shocks are full tight and the bottoms of the tunnels are still unacceptably close to the ground. If you watch the video at 4:10 it shows ho...

I have a 540 XLV (air cooled) engine that has the ring gear on the magneto rotor.
I have no idea if they (ring gear and rotor) can be mounted on the 540 liquid cooled engine.
Is there enough room for a ring gear in that area?

Washington mountains got another couple feet of snow the last two weeks and we got some more seat time in the Half Track Snow Rail. This time we went up to Stampede Pass and Tacoma Pass.

We parked at 4100 feet up Naches pass yesterday. The first quarter mile was slush over ice. By 4500 feet, the trail was covered three feet deep with corn snow. It was like riding a snow cone. When we got up to 5000 feet, there was two inches of heavy wet snow on top of the corn snow. http://s2.posti...
