I decided to change the look of my REV this year along with dropping some weight. I'm still not done with it. I don't like the old shock covers with the new look. I'm not sure if I'm going to go with the windshield that's on it either. I'm more of a mid-height kind of guy. I have a different windshield coming. I'll just have to see which one looks best. If I stay with the shorty, I'll put the hand guards back on.

Here's the old look.

New look.

Here is the weight comparison.

It's really starting to grow on me. What do you think? Suggestions?

Nice job. I think it looks really good.

Just curious... where does the weight reduction come from? I assume the panels are made of something else?

:thumbsup: Looking good ,I like , I see you spent some time polishing too . Did you use those pads I gave you?
I would lose the covers too,maybe orange springs or bodys?
I like the lower shields but I dont care for the hand guard look to much. I know im going to snap my mobile off and then have to make a make a choice . Thats one thing I loved about my old ZX , it was just right and it took a beating.

Were going to have some NICE looking sleds when were all together

keep us updated ..

This is all I did to mine this year. Just some flame decals and new handlebars.

The new panels are a lightweight lexan.

I'm going to run the USI PX 301's with 10" of carbide this year. Much better bite in the corners.
