    Best tunnel bag?

    Looking for opinions on tunnel bag. The zippers are shot on the one on my cat, so I was thinking about trying out one of the doo ones with an adapter. The one/off functionality looks really good. Looking on the doo site, people were complaining the 21L one is too hard to get stuff in and out of...

    Clutch maintenance - worn parts

    Was going to pull the clutches on my 18 cat 600. Has 8K on it. Figured I'd clean them and at least change the springs. I haven't done any maintenance on them in the past. My last sled was an 06 Poo 600, and I dropped the clutches at Goodwin at a similar mileage and had them go through them, and...

    Snow Boot sizing

    Random question - but we don't have a whole lot to talk about these days in seems... Wondering how you much bigger you usually go with snow boots compared to your regular shoes. Most of my shoes are size 12, and I normally buy boots or hiking shoes in 13s for thicker socks and also because I...

    Snowies or Grand Lake?

    Looking at going West next week. We've been to the snowies (about 12 years ago) but another guy mentioned looking at Grand Lake area but I don't know anything about it. We've been out west renting and bringing our sleds. This trip will be with our trail sleds. Wondering if anyone here has some...

    Anywhere worth riding next weekend?

    Best I can tell the snow cover in the UP is spotty - good in a few pockets but kind of scattered. And there's some kind of storm coming through early next week that could be rain or snow depending on how far north. Was thinking about driving to Mass City Wednesday night and riding for a few...

    How is trail grooming managed?

    I read people talk about paid groomers or volunteer groomers, grooming done at night vs the day. I'm wondering how all that is managed, mostly for WI and MI or maybe MN. Many like to complain about groomers (trail groomers not the other kind) but I don't think many including myself understand...

    Northshore conditions?

    Looking at coming up somewhere on the 15th. How has the north shore held up? Last year we dropped in Two Harbors in March and went north from there, and had a great time. I think last season had incredible conditions but I'm wondering how it's looking now. Thanks.

    Places to look for used jet ski parts?

    We have a kawasaki stx15. Needs a new gauge. Think the one on it got water in it after being submerged for too long with one of my nephew's riding it and tipped it over. A new gauge is like $900 on ebay. Not worth it for an older jet ski. Was wondering if anyone knows where to find used parts.

    Centennial/Snowies - how late in the season can you typically ride?

    Was planning an early/mid March trip and it looks like it's falling apart on schedules. Was wondering if it's realistic to ride someplace like the Snowies in mid-April. I assume any rentals would be done by then but we can drag our trail sleds out there. Did it once before mid-season quite a few...

    Great conditions this past week - west side of UP

    Rode about 700 miles from Sunday - Tuesday. Parked in Tomahawk Saturday night. Rode through Wisconsin and then up to Mass City on Sunday, spent most of Monday on the powerlines and then rode up in the Keweenaw after that, and then rode back to from Mass City to Tomahawk Monday. Stayed at the...

    Track tension - how much, how to measure

    Haven’t messed with this in awhile so thought it was worth a post. Do you set this per the manual or run it a looser? If you set it to the spec do you use a fish scale to check it?

    carbides

    What's the recommendation for carbides these days. I had bergstroms on my fusion, with the ski savers and shims, and they made it well over 8,000 miles and were still pretty good when I sold it. Have a Cat 137 now. Stock ones have about 2,500 on them now and probably should be replaced. I don't...

    Opinion on 01 Polaris 500 Classic for kids

    Found an 01 Classic 500 with 3,200 miles for sale near me, asking $1,500. From pictures it looks to be clean. Guy is selling an enclosed trailer too, so it might be something that stayed out of the salt. Wondering if would be a good sled for kids to learn on, say starting at 12. Concerned it...

    ZR 200/Sno scoot

    Saw an 18 ZR 200 for sale at a decent price but wondering if anyone has any experience on them or thoughts on the size of them. I have 9 year old twins and a 12 year old. I'm assuming my 12 year old is too big for one - he can handle a full size sled decently (family has a 900 doo with the eco...

    Things for families to do around Eagle River, WI

    We spend a week or so at a relative's place near Eagle River each summer. Normally playing around the water, a bit of fishing, the go kart/mini golf place in town. Three kids, ages 8 - 12. Thought I'd see what else we should be doing in that area. Looks like we'll be up there in July or August...

    Mastercraft boat seat parts

    My family has an 07 Mastercraft X15 that we picked up used a couple years ago. The seat bottom on the driver's seat is cracked - it's a plastic part. I can't seem to find parts and/or a replacement seat. Anyone have any ideas on where to find parts for something like this? Would prefer to fix it...

    Quebec?

    Anyone here ride in Quebec? Rode there about 15 years ago but don't remember much of where we went, as the others were organizing and leading it. Was thinking about going up there this year. Only have a chance to get out once this year for a 5 day trip so would like to make it a good one!

    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...
