I’ve got a 19 ZR 8000 ltd. Started with BDX aka SSI’s stage one and it was great for two years but then I got too used to it so before last season I upgraded to their stage 2 kit. Wow that Jawz pipe plus tune really woke it up. No changes for this season other than more seat time. Congrats on your sled and build. Ssi is only 30 minutes from me in Cannon Falls, Mn, so I got a chance to chat with them when I purchased the parts. They are extremely nice and a wealth of knowledge. Much better than SLP or Speedwerx, which I have used in the past on Polaris trail sleds. Cheers!
That’s cool to hear man! Glad you are enjoying their kits. I think BDX really does a nice job with their products. I’ve chosen to keep my engine stock for now since I’m still on the beginner side of mountain riding! I’m sure your ZR is a sweet rig! Thanks for the comment!
Awesome sled!! The "ALL GREEN" look is just killer 🙂 I currently have a 2016 All Green limited, a 2016 all Black limited ( wrapped with Arctic FX wrap that looks all green) and had an all green F7 sno pro and all green Zr600 limited.
Very cool man I’m a sucker for lime green. Definitely sounds like a killer arctic cat fleet! I love the green camo 16-17 limited M8000s, those are incredible sleds.
Back in the 90’s , ZR’s , slammed to the ground , low center of gravity , cornered ! Back Breakers ! My Buddy could almost keep up ? To my XC , we traded , turns out , he wasn’t as brave as me in the corners , plus his sled was studded
Interesting back in the day it used to be priority one the engine, priority two the exhaust (HP), priority three skis and track .... and then the rest of the stuff.
@@projectpowersports .. If you're suggesting that a factory engine is more reliable than good quality aftermarket parts, then we would disagree. I've blown the top of the pistons off of plenty of stock Arctic Cat engines to know better.
I had a alpha prior to this sled. I wanted to go twin rail for this build due to better handling in poor snow conditions. I am hoping to give a alpha rail a try again in the near future though

It’s part of BDX’s rear bumper kit. I’m sure If you called them they would sell you one seperate from the bumper. www.bd-xtreme.com/index.php?id_product=1533&controller=product
If I was a snowmobile company I would put all the best parts you could ever put and charge a fair price for it so they don't have to go out and do that themselves. There's a market for it
@@Canadianoutlaw420 what he did to the sled makes it look cool, they are just soo slow and outdated it’s sad.. atleast they have a new chassis/gauge/motor next year. Too bad they will be $25000 out the door lol

Probably the only thing I truly miss after moving south is riding these.
Although, I was also into old school Ski Doos and Yamahas... fun times!
Love the rear grab handle. Great build, should be proud of it!
Thank you! Appreciate the comment!

I read arctic cat dream sled in the title and I immediately was interested, love seeing this keep it up!
Cool man and thank you!! Yeah it seems there’s not many cat builds out there! But been on cat since a kitty kat lol
@@projectpowersports any plans for a catalyst?
@@JackTruitt there might be one sitting in the shop right now. 😎 My dad bought one I’m definitely excited to try it out and compare the two sleds.

Last mod ! Tunnel cut, nice build :)
Thanks man!
SWEET BUILD

Beautiful sled
Thanks man!
Nice looking sled dude.
Thanks man!!
Wicked build, laundry list of parts!
Thanks man appreciate the comment!
Looks fantastic I hav an 18 now I hav to spend some money
Awesome man! They are still great sleds!
Operation Meow Meow complete congrats bro.
Nice build? what does it do?
Awesome man. Now you can trade it in for a Polaris and really have fun lol
Reinstalled the ski bolts backwards, head of the bolt should be on the outside nut on the inside.
That’s how I installed them
Nice
Back in the 90’s , ZR’s , slammed to the ground , low center of gravity , cornered ! Back Breakers ! My Buddy could almost keep up ? To my XC , we traded , turns out , he wasn’t as brave as me in the corners , plus his sled was studded
He picks Cat to build a dream sled 😂

Shooting for maximum reliability for in the back country by keeping the engine and tuning stock.

haha, the adapt clutch an upgrade. Thing is a bigger pos than the team. nice build otherwise. Ditch the electric start bs and save some weight
Adapt was purchased right when they came out. Been working great for several 100 miles, we will see how if I have any trouble.
Are you running a sway bar?
I am not running one
I’d have gone SLP Performance Edition motor first , cheaper I bet ? About $2600 dollars , not counting shipping both ways , love my motor
What bar and bar riser size did you go with?
Running the Turcotte bar with a 2.5” riser. I originally had a 2” riser but much prefer the 2.5”
Tweekers Modify !
Beautiful rig, but no Alpha rail :( Have fun!
I had a alpha prior to this sled. I wanted to go twin rail for this build due to better handling in poor snow conditions. I am hoping to give a alpha rail a try again in the near future though
Im not sure where the 80s hair metal spadex color ends, and the arctic cat green begins...
Have your clutches balanced ! Stock isn’t perfect !
What are those ski wheels?
