Growth Pains: Time to Modify and Upgrade

I have been riding my MXZ for 4 years now and have been maintaining and upgrading it to extend its life. At the end of the 2008 snowmobiling season, my shins were killing me from banging them against the fat S chassis gas tank and I wanted something more comfortable when standing up on the sled.

I then decided to remove the stock gas tank and seat to replace them with a different, more comfortable combination. I went to Hay Days and found a 2005 Ski-Doo Summit Seat and gas tank for $80.00 (Most Rev seats + tanks at Hay Days were going for more than $180.00!) I picked the Rev chassis gas tank and seat because it is narrower where my legs sit up against it and much more comfortable than the 1998 seat/tank. Next post I will explain how I fit the seat and tank to my sled and some pictures to show how it ended up. For all those who have an older S chassis, this might be something to think about doing to your own sled.
