hey guys,
i took some new pics of some recent mods completed on my grizzly. i snorkled my belt drive system, and made some holes in my side panels that work wonderfully!!! i also bored out my exhaust, witch added more low end power than i ever expected, as i recommend these things highly!!! also, with my 26 inch titan 589 tires with itp alunimum rims, i was hitting my fenders real hard while jumping, so i took off quite a bit of plastic, and you can hardly even see this!

frogman,
I am finally getting a chance to go riding this weekend to test the snorkle out real good. also. with the muffler mod, it is alot faster out of the hole. havent tested it on top end, but i am sure i lost a little. as for doing the snorkle, i would love to help ya, but your just too far. i dont have the time to go to the u.p for a week or 2. the engine covers is a simple mod you can do though, and i stand by it highly!!! i used a 2 1/8 in hole cutter, and lined up some holes in the side panels, and my fan hardly runs compared to before. i bet i reduced to heat 20 degrees just releasing all that built up heat! when i do advntually get up there, i will tell ya in advance, and you can get the supplys, couse snorkling it only takes about 2 hours, and is pritty streight foward thing to do. thanks for the replt, and try to keep it on all 4 buddy! by the way, i dont know of any hose covers for the grizzly, but i bet an automotive braid kit would work and keep it alot stronger!!!

I will make it on Sunday. Look for the Silver Dakota with MATVA on the doors and a Yellow Grizz in tow. The gates open at noon.

4x4mudslinger,
Here is a link to see my Grizz. It is a custom job. Look on High lifter under Yamaha "Yellow Gizz660" for all the info. on how I did it.
