    1990 Indy 650 summer restoration...

    So I figured it might be fun to start a thread about the progress and give periodic updates as to what I'm doing with the sled and my progress. So far I've just been collecting parts and doing research. . I now have a nice 1" track, new break lever, new track bearings, plenty of spark plugs...

    Are rebuildable shocks even worth it?

    I'm doing an Indy 650 and I would like to get some rebuildable shocks. I REALLY want this thing to ride as good as it can with the stock suspension. Is it worth getting a quality set of fox shocks or just find a set from an old XLT.

    What skis are these?

    I bought a sled a few weeks ago and these skis were on it. I was told they are OEM Polaris but that's all I know. I want to get some red ski loops but first need to know what I have. Anyone know?

    Am I nuts?

    So, I'm redoing a 1990 Indy 650 and just picked up a 1996 XLT cheap for misc Parts. It has the xtra 12 in it and my buddy is hammering me about putting it in the 650. I said no and now another buddy is saying the same thing. So.....am I nuts?? Should I put in the Xtra 12??

    Water in the crankcase?

In the process of getting it running but keep getting plugs that come out creamy white, like thin buttermilk. Pulled the crankcase drains and got some out there too. Dosent smell...

    Track choices??

    Refreshing a 1990 Indy 650 and as we all know the stock tracks weren't much so.... I have a track from a 1996 XLT I can use. (I think it's a 1") or should I buck up and get myself a new 1.25" Ripsaw. I definitely want to stud it as I may do a radar run once in a while.

    So now what the heck do I do with this thing?

    Bought this yesterday as a parts sled for my Indy 650 I'm restoring mainly for the hood but they don't match. 650 hood is flat black and this one is metallic. The XLT sat forever and runs on spray but won't draw gas yet. (Probably dirty carbs) so anyway. All I can really use on the thing is the...

    Pics from a beer truck. Pembine/Dunbar/Goodman. Here ya go Cutterz. LOTS of pics!!

    I guess it all depends on how bad you want to go. Some thin spots, some bumpy ungroomed spots but, some spots that look good too. I know its a ton of pics but I feel for a guy several hundred miles away trying to make a decision. - - - Updated - - -
