Thanks again Steve for all your help
Have you never used the alsport foot boards ? or simply not seen a set yet?. I am not completely against the snowmobile drive train but the first phase of modding and driving it will determine that since I will be going with the current Yamaha 433. I too...
Hi Steve,
I am going to use the Alsport foot boards instead of pegs so I envisioned that mounting a foot operated master cylinder under a foot board would be fairly straight forward. I have thought about keeping the variable drive but I have already had primary clutch issues (not completely...
