Having stepped off a 1994 Skandic (see project Stealth 503) and onto a REV chassis sled a couple seasons ago there was no looking back to any of the old sleds in regards to ride comfort or power with the added benefit that every aspect of the machine is a major step forward compared to the old.
In his first year of ownership Maffer stripped off a lot of the factory decals for a clean, sleek look. He then added an X-package handle bar & windshield kit, and white accessories such as belly pan, A-arm guards and Hand Guards. Also installed at that time was a blue under hood lighting kit which makes for a real neat look at night!
Maffer has been busy in the shed again this fall with his sled. The rear suspension was stripped down and all worn bogy wheel bearings replaced, and this season he also installed a new 121x15x1.25" Rip Saw track along with new hyfax. While the chain case was apart for the installation of the new track, he swapped the stock 22 tooth top gear for a 21 tooth gear for a little more low end response.
Other modifications for this season included painting the grills in the hood White to match the Accessories previously installed..
