    Better headlights for 18 Cat ZR

    Was looking into better headlight options for an 18 Cat ZR with the stock halogen bulbs. Is adding the Cat LED housing that they use on the limiteds the best bet or can you get similar improvement from LED bulbs into the existing housing? Seems like there are a lot of different opinions out...

    Help with motofist boots

    I haven't had an issue like this before, but I picked up some Motorfist stomper 2 boots last season, and everytime I use them, it's like my feet get sweaty before I get outside, and then if it's cold, I end up with cold feet. It's like the boots aren't breathing well enough, which doesn't seem...

    Need a new helmet

    I'd had HJC helmets for probably 15 years. Had good luck with them so I bought a new one this year and it's awful. Lets in lots of air and fogs up instantly if the electric shield isn't plugged in. Luckily the place I bought it from said I could return it. So - wondering what to try next. It's...

    Extended warranty on cat 600?

    I have a deal lined up on a leftover 18 cat 600. They asked me if I was interested in an extended warranty. The deal they mentioned adds 4 years, has no deductible and is about $900. I usually do not think these are worth it but thought I’d get some opinions. I have the company name if that matters.

    Question on deals on Cats that end Dec 31

    Saw that the current promo's on Cats end on Dec 31. Do these usually get extended after year-end or do they go away till late in the season? Was considering buoying one if the price if right. Sold my old sled this weekend. I'll call a couple dealers tomorrow. Not sure if anyone will really know...

    Great riding last week

    Went up and rode last Friday - Monday. Great conditions with the exception of the Wawa area, apparently there was a groomer issue there. Good powder off trail in some places but too set up in others. We were going to do the loop of...

    Doo's eco mode on 900 - great idea for kids

    We were up north of Eagle River this weekend with the family. One of my relatives has a Doo 900. The eco mode is an incredible idea - my 9 year old has outgrown the 120 they have up there but was able to ride all around a small lake for 3 days on a Doo 900 because the eco mode keeps the...

    Cost to replace shower

    Off-topic I know, but there are a lot of people on here who have knowledge of this stuff. Our house was built in the late-90's - we bought it about 5 years ago, and wife is looking into replacing the shower. Right now it's a decent sized shower, glass on two sides, plain white ceramic tile on...

    Difference b/t Switchback Assault 600 and Switchback SP 600

    Is it mostly the shocks? Looking at pictures on their website. Surprised at the difference in msrp for shocks if that's the main difference. Are the shocks on the SP similar to the ones they use on the Indy SP? I hear people say those shocks are too soft.

    What do you carry on sled for saddlebag/backpacking trips?

    I don't remember seeing this discussion for awhile. For groups that go on longer saddlebag/backpacking trips, what do you carry for safety/survival/sled repairs? We got mixed up last winter on a trip in Canada where gas could have become an issue, so I was thinking about what we should be...

    Doo 600 vs Cat 600

    Anyone have both of these in a group? Just wondering how they compare for real world power, gas/oil usage. My guess is they're comparable when ridden about the same but interested to hear from people who have actually ridden them both for a decent amount of miles. Seems like both will last a...

    Rode with my 5 year olds for the 1st time this weekend

    We were up a bit north of Eagle River this weekend at a relative's house on a small lake up there. Rode with each of my kids - oldest is 8 and 5 year old twins. 5 year olds rode for the 1st time, with me and on a 120. Had an absolute blast - so much fun to see them enjoying it and figuring it...

    2017 Switchback SP - anyone ridden one?

    Like the title said, wondering if anyone has ridden one. Snowtech raves about the new rear suspension but they need to eat too. Is it that much better on trail? Are the shocks decent? I think the shocks are the main difference between the SP and the Assault. Does the 600 in the SP use enough...

    Fusion 600 headlight issue

    So on the last trip I took, the headlights were cutting in and out randomly. Not sure the cause - they would work for 10 miles, then cut out or vice versa. The sled has 4 bulbs - the inner two always stayed on but don't provide that much light. The outer two I think should always be on, whether...

    Power valve broken 06 fusion

    So I took the power valves out to clean them and one of them has a piece cracked off. Don't know what happened to the cracked piece - can't find it. Looking through the y pipe I can see a small scuff on the piston below the ring. Obviously I need new valves. Do I need to pull the head and try to...

    Motorfist glove sizing - true to size?

    Looking at Motorfist gloves, again on sale. Just wondering if they fit true to size as closeouts can't be returned. Currently have a pair of Klim Fusions XL that I bought right before leaving on a trip but ended up being a touch too small so they annoy me sometimes. Also have a pair of gore-tex...

    Opinions on Cat Crossfire

    Tossing around the idea of buying a Crossfire. See a few out there at what seem to be decent prices. Are there a lot of differences in the years? What to look for on them? Do they have the diamond drive? Is that a problem? In my group at least the Cat engines haven't had issues, even with high...
