Thanks! Do you visit achat at all anymore? It's a great mod!

Not to often now without having any sled, sometimes go on and read up on how the new models are performing

I've wanted one of those ZR's since they came out. God I miss when a sled used to look like a damn sled and not something out of a Transformers movie.

After a good ride on a "transformers" sled you will hardly know how to sit on an older style ZR, HUGE improvement. 100 miles ride in a day now becomes a joke and more like a couple hour run. I almost hated having to switch my F8 with the GF when she got tired on the ZR.

Yeah I know, my cousin has a F8 SnoPro and I know what you mean. I still like the feel of the older sleds, same thing with trucks or cars. Yeah they're cool but there's things about the newer ones that just ain't there.

Forgot to update this. Was a rush to get this thing together for an important ride yesterday.

Found my left rear motor mount busted off and ripped the aluminum frame when I pulled the motor out.

Installed temp gauge tonight. Yes I know tach is missing. It decided to go awol from its respective space in the hood.

Well boys..... I think it's time to retire this ol' girl. She cracked a jug today and dumped a bunch of coolant into the crankcase. I will personally no longer be able to trust it anymore, chassis is falling apart, and she is just getting weak. I am looking at a 98 zr 600 EFI at the moment and will possibly (read as probably) be picking it up within a week.

I will be salvaging parts off of the 95 to keep as spares for the 98 so she won't completely go to waste.
