... the 2000 600 touring 2up I have a brand new chain case with fresh bearings and seals on it ready to install, couldn’t for the life of me get that one to stop leaking ever since I popped the cover off...

If it is anything like my old '86 Indy 400, you have to tighten the chain case cover bolts in a particular order to keep it from leaking. I don't remember the order, check the shop manual.

lets see those new sleds when they come in
want to see those colors you picked on new VR1s

Window is closing for me waiting on Polaris. Don’t have much patience left after ordering a sled well before the original snow check deadline.

Covid or no Covid, 7 months to build a sled is pretty sad to not be able to deliver before the start of the season. November is coming to a quick close!!!

I like that color..... looks red in this picture.... but I Believe that's a orange hue.....with a 1.6 or 1.5 ice ripper ? Braaaaaap!

Thanks!...has the 1.6". Really just depends on the lightning, sometimes looks red, in trailer where was darker it looked more orange. I love it.

Not Polaris fault. Covid has disrupted supply lines. Last week I ordered a 2021 Ford FX4. They have no idea when it will be built or when it will be here. This is just the first tip of the iceberg of how bad Covid-19 has screwed up everything. In the coming months once the disease goes away due to either a vaccine or herd immunity we will find out for sure how bad the economy has been wrecked.

Quite true, example from BRP skidoo sleds haven’t be affected being built in Canada with covid not so out of control, but atv/utv built in Mexico very slow on production. And yes sometimes manufacturers are waiting in contractors that make certain components.

Lime green skid doo's,,,, the world is off it's axis.

See that sled reminded me of a Clint Eastwood quote from the 1990 movie "The Rookie" with Charlie Sheen. When Clint Eastwood was steering at a lime green Lotus and said “Wanna know what's a crime? Whoever defaced that work of art by painting it that color... ought to have his *** removed.”

I haven’t been able to find any new 12 foot Triton hybrid trailers in the Milwaukee area. Dealers tell me Triton is waiting on aluminum nothing shipping yet. Luckily no snow up north so far but dealers said no idea when or if shipping.
