:beerchug:

I know you said 900, but I thoght I would share a little story and show you a pic of my 1 of a kind Thundercat/ ZRT.


Here is a pic of one of my trail buggy's

My best friend Art lost his life on a 1998 Thundercat 1000 when he struck a tree on March 16 of last year in the upper peninsula of Michigan in the Trout Lake area. I was not with him that weekend he died, but my good friend Rob was( he is known as Rocket800 on amsnow.com) Let me say that in our ridding group we all had to see who's $hit was King $hit, I'll do this to be a little faster, they would do this
to go a little faster, it was like a game. Art's favorite saying was "My Shits Fast" I always kept it running for him. He cold seized that thing like 3 times because he just couldn't wait to put the hammer down. June of 2002 after his third cold seize we took it apart. He wanted me to re-ring the whole engine to freshen it up. While we had it apart he conned me in to porting the cylinders before we put it back together. This sled was fast, it was a stock bore, but had all the bolt on hp goodies you would want, with after market pipes, tempaflow, reeds ...... and a 240 stud 1.25 " track. Youwould mash the gas to the bar and the skis would come off the ground about 4 inches and literally hang there until you let out of the gas. He loved
his Thundercat. I had my 99 ZRT 800 with a 1004 big bore that was always
just a squeak faster than his and it pissed him off. We never got the chance
to line them up after I ported it for him. My family owns a collision shop
in SE Michigan where I am the painter, I have always had custom painted
sleds because I hate to pass 10 sleds in a day the same as mine. Art and I
talked the last winter before he died, that if he kept his engine together,
he wanted me to paint his hood orange for him and put the stock decals
back on it. I wish he was here to let me do that for him. After his death
his wife gave me what was left of his sled because she didn't know what
to do with it and we both wanted to keep
his engine running. In the wreck the tree hit right on the left side of the
bulkhead right where the a arms bolt on
and hit the clutch and broke it off, It twisted the engine around in the chassis and bent the end of the crank. So I had
to take it apart and I sent the crank off to
get repaired and I put the motor back together.
My trail buggy is a combination of Art's 1998 Thundercat and a 1995 ZRT 800 chassis. I painted the hood the orange he wanted and put the stock 98 Thundercat decals on it. I took Art's 1000 engine, his Aaen pipes, his orange skid plate, his windshield, his handlebars and controls off the wrecked sled and set it in the 95 chassis, I have a BLT front suspension with a green/orange M10 rear skid,
240 studs with reverse.

I will be the first guy to tell you that all that power is cool, but lets just remember
what we have left at home waiting for us when we get done playing.

snow800...

sorry to hear you lost your good buddy. that was a touching story. it's pretty awesome that he had a friend like you to continue his legacy.

ya that sucks to hear sad stuff like that. up in Newberry michigan close to trout lake they have a mxz in a showcase and it is beyond totaled, the helmet was detroyed to! i hear that guy didnt survive either! it says stay on your trail and dont stop in the on the trail to shoot the carp, pull off the trail to talk or take a break! but you still see people sitting on the trail taking a drink of gatorade or pop. not thinking if someone come up flying there would be bad new! that is a nice sled and its good to have people like you to keep the legacy going, i am sure he would of wanted it that way. plus now in heaven he probably has a sled length on you now!! he is on gods sled now and noone can beat it.. take care and i am sure i will see you up in the trails, or have seen you up there and dont know it, plus i live in the general area you do, i live about 5 miles north of metro airport!! take care :div20:

not mine but heres a sharp one...steve

The black with orange decals always looks best on the zr's IMO, but I had a zr we totalled and rebuilt that had a cracked hood we plastick welded and painted orange. That was sweeet looking! I'm with snow800 when it comes to coming up with a unique look. It's almost too bad that the fcat will have an orange option next year.

Here is a few pics of my 1 of a kind 03 ZR 900 that is ported with twin pipes, V- force reeds, Tempaflow, 240 studs with reverse.
This is a new paint system that has been out less than a year. It is a 6 stage paint process to achieve what you see here in the pics.
If you look in the close up for a more detailed view, It is supposed to resemble "ice crystals". I hate all the goober
green on these sleds. I wanted to go with a dark red and a light red and a black seat cover, but after further review of the cost of the seat cover I did it in the green and red and figured I had enough money in this project.. The stock winshield that is on it is just sitting on there, I am
either going with a red chrome or just a plain chrome windshield as I haven't decided yet. The red pans where never put on a ZR and I went with the pans off a 04 Z 570.
I had to modify the pans for the 900 exhaust and the
exhaust valve drains.

Hey Snow800, looks like the holeshot with the skis in the air took place up by Elmira in the potato field? btw, your "ice crystal" paint actually looks like "abstract cannibas leaves".
:augen41: snap

you prolly noticed but thats an 04. :drunk:

:beerchug: :augen41:
Snap, the holeshot was taken in the Lakes of the North, in the potato
field in the SW corner by the big power lines that run through there.
I don't know if I like it with the green seat on it. It's starting to grow
on me like mold lol. and if they look like maryjane leaves to you, spark up
another.
Later

Another black one, very black.

My 04 w/03 Graphics I custom did.

On the snow w/my 04 F7 in Canada.

Steve,

Do you know who's sled that is and how I could get in contact with the person? I'm very interested in the windshield that they have on the sled. Red chrome with a black fade around the base(portion of the windshield that is closest to the hood)..... I've never seen one exactly like that but I wouldn't mind trying to get my hands on one. If you could help it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
-John

Sweeper
I painted it green and clear coated it one day, sanded it with 360 grit the next day and sprayed the crystals on it, let it dry for an hour, then I sprayed the red on it and let it dry for 45 minutes, then I power washed it to create the pattern. I then
dryed the water off and clear coated it all again and let it set over night. Then on the next day I sanded the whole hood down with 1000 grit sandpaper and cleared it again to make the final product that you see in the pics.

Spring riding! 1.25 hooks real good in the deep snow that's settled.

its great looking at all these pictures it keeps me sane over the dreaded summer months,thanks again..
