Nice!. I'm sure you could dial it in a bit, but, those triples are thirsty. Look at it as Smiles Per Gallon. Nothing like grabbing a handful of throttle hearing & feeling the the howl of the triple triples.

Haven't posted in a while on here but I've done a lot of work. My buddy bought a 97 Arctic cat powder extreme 600 136". Well, I certainly can't have him running around with a 136"X1.25" while I keep getting stuck with my 121". So I decided to stretch the RXL. I wanted to make it look as if it left the factory long tracked. I did some homework and found out that the 98+ touring sleds used a 133.5" Xtra 12 suspension that would be a direct bolt up. That and an extra idler shaft need to support the longer track. Found a 133.5"X1.25" track. Sourced a tunnel extension and Rocky Mountain King sticker and got to work. A few new swear words and a few thrown wrenches later and Walla!!! RXL Rocky Mountain King!!! Now to dial in the gearing and clutching.

I remember my friend getting the first year XLT with the xtra-12. I remember the first time he took out on a lake and there was snow but not a lot of snow and his hyfax got so hot they melted to the track. He stopped and that was it they froze to the track. Talk about a suspension that really needed some deeper snow that was one. Looks nice Mike.
