Took a trip out west to Cooke City with the Momsmotorsports club. Easy hassle free way to go great club members. The Bearclaw Bakery has the best looking and tasting food I have ever had. I looked forward to eating as much as I did going riding. Had 6 to 8 inches of fresh at Cooke and 8 to 15 at top of the world. This was a great trip we had alot of fresh snow, endless untounch snow in the meadows hills and trees. This was my second time and my buddy's first time and this area provided some of the best terrain to learn how to ride on to terrain that will scare the sh%$ out of you. Some carnige included a bent a-arm (Bought one for $51 on ebay today) cheap fix, hit a rock on the left underside ript open the belly pan.(wire ties, new rivets and that was fixed thanks Bob for the use of the tools). The speedoo gauge cluster quit working but it still ran good. I have not figured that one out yet. Got some pictures to show how it was:cool:.

Yes sir it worked great them cats sure can go through the snow. the power claw track really hooks up. Took out a roller on the primary spider on the trip but got that fixed for $140. Looking for a good used primary if you know of one. Thanks again for the helix and the honest trade.

Everyone with a cat is looking for a good used primary unfortunately! Best route is to just pick up a new uncalibrated clutch for about $320. Good used clutches go for about that, and you never know what you are really getting.

If you need one, I can get them for a great price from my dealer.
