First question, what makes a sled considered a "mod" sled? I wanna do stuff like new bars and all that stuff, but some engine work too. There all considered mods I guess but what has to be done to be classified as a mod?

Whats the best thing to do to the motor and still keep the reliability? I realize thats a lot to ask... lol.

I wanna do a lot of visual stuff. I mostly just do some boondocking and ditches along with the jumps and tracks days. I wanna get more into freestyle and thats how I want my sled to look. They always look so awesome compared to how mine is now. So I wanna make mine look like that. If anyone has a sick picture or two of an awesome freestyle sled thatd be helpful.

Ive noticed they always have different handle bars with shorter risers and big u bars. Is there a reason or is it just the look? I love the look either way. I wanna find a nice colorful wrap too, or else im gonna paint the thing whtie or maybe even just paint it a bunch of crazy bright colors. Let me know what you guys think and if you have any ideas! Thanks.

From personal exp with painting stuff White, if your going to do so make sure you put 10000 clear coats on it! It looks sweet, but gets dirty crazy fast!

well man you wanna make a bright colorful mod sled and i give you exactly what you want pretty much lol

the 738 is pretty reliable...no a few people running them and havent had a problem with them yet.

and yes the wraps are expensive but you can wrap your whole sled. not just the front plastics

Well right now its painted white with no clear ha just a good coat of plastic fusion and a lot of wet sanding to make her shine. I had no problems but then again I polish her everyday! But if i do go with paint its gonna get a real automotive finish with a 2 part clear and all. I wonder how it'd look to just paint every piece a different bright color. Like yellow orange purple green blue all that and just do everything different.

Very true.. that is what I wanted ha. And doing the hole tunnel and all would be awesome! How much HP does the 738 add over stock? I'd be pretty proud to have a mod like that..

Doo:

- 1-2 teeth lowering of the top gear
- Get a deeper lug track
- Boyesen or VForce 3 Reeds
- Ypipe, pipe & can
- Studs for your track
- C&A or Slydog skis
- 4th wheel kit
- Braces (Engine, clutch, front suspension)
- Aftermarket domes and head gasket
- Cold air intake kit
- Venting
- Clutching
- Handlebars and handlebar risers
- HID lights
- LED tail lights
- Tunnel reinforcements
- Knee pads
- Headlight covers
- Wrap
- Snowcross tail flap
- Handguards
- BOSS seat (maybe)
- Fox shocks all around

There are so many ways to mod your sled, and there are WAY more options than what I have listed. As for an understanding what a mod is, it is basically modifying something from an original state (stock).
