Thanks for the kind words.

I think I need more orange in the track area. What do you think about these options.

Orange wheels
Orange foot rails and slides
Orange wheels/foot rails/slides

Orange hi-faxs would look great. Did you Andonize or paint your fromt spndals? They are looking yellow now.

Looks great. Leave it alone.

Besides, anything done with sliders or idler wheels can't be seen when its covered in snow.

Sorry, for not replying. Been out of town over the weekend.

Sled dogg, Like MXZ900 said, the spindles come that way on the X package. I am thinking about striping them to a polished aluminum. This would match the tunnel. I think it would look better than the off yellow color.

If I get it to nice I wont want to get it dirty. :D

I did order orange foot rails. I'll see what it looks like after that.

Thanks again for your comments. SWRules

Just added orange foot rails. Still needs more orange in track area.
Does anyone know how to change the color of a picture. I would like to make my idler wheels orange to see what it would look like before I go out and spend 150 for new ones. Yellow tips are on order. Before I'm done I think I will have some left over parts for sale ???

Did it come with the orange ski's?

What you could do is take off the seat and then give'r a real polish job and then a coat of wax on the tunnel (and the whole machine).

Looks super sharp!

i agree...nicest looking rev ive seen yet...i like the yellow idlers better, but thats only my opinion....the yellow ski tips look awesome tho! i have all the same accessories in my garage..now i just need my rev! lol.....how hard was it to put the orange tunnel runners on? did u have to take the stock ones off? .........thanks

jwheeler, thanks for the changes.

skidoowes, it came with black ski's.

gotspeed, you have to drill about 10 rivets on each side. The rivets come with the kit. The worst part is installing the new rivets.

I think I will have to go with all orange on the bottom of the sled. Keep the orange tips and go with orange wheels and slides.

jwheeler, can I get you to make the tips back to orange and make the slides orange with the wheels. I'm thinking its getting cut up to much.

Thanks guys SWRules

B-4 i saw your REV i thought the REV was ugly, opinions changed!

Very good job!

Very nice looking.

To improve it paint the entire sled green.

(Just kidding. I like it.)

Yes more Orange is making it more balanced. I think the yellow idlers scream Ski-do however and there's nothing wrong with leaving them yellow. But it's your sled, from a graphic artistic perspective the adding of orange doesn't hurt it a bit.

:D

Greenclicker, Atomicat, thanks. I know that had to be hard for you to say those kind words about Skidoo and the Rev. :D :D This is why this board is so good. It dont matter what you ride, because were all in this together. A nice friendly atmosphere goes a long way.

Anybody know where I can get orange idler wheels. I cant find anyone that has orange in 165mm and 135mm.

Mines nearly identical, I have the black seat. I added an orange skid plate and have yellow tips on the orange skis. By far the sweetest sled Ive owned yet.
