Found a low miles, near mint 06 FST Switchback for super cheap! New to Polaris and new to four stroke but think the fit and finish as well as the general concept of the sled is great. Yes,she is heavy! Sled has all the updates done so I am not worried about base performance. I plan on studding the 1.25 inch track and wondered if ahybody has studded their 144 track and how many studs? I ride in the northeast on steep logging trails so ice is there. My 1.25 Renegade track is studded and it is the shizz on hardpack braking. Also, are there any aftermarket exhaust companies who have products out for this engine? Any suggestions for the sled appreciated.

No luck with SLP ..or anybody else for that matter. I guess the engine is too new to the market for testing/upgrades. First upgrade, 3 inch riser block, did not go so well. Throttle cable just a shade to tight. Time for one of those cable extension thingees. Live and learn....then spend.
