Yea I have not found anything good to remove scratches in the panels. Automotive buffing compound will just dull the finish and make it worse. I clear wrapped all of the painted plastics and tunnel. Makes the black shine a lot more and hides any scratches. Wish I could have done it from day 1 but didn't get it till end of January and picked it up from the dealer on the way up north.

My sled was originally the black and silver.....that's why I had the silver seat. Only the red white and blue xcr had the white stripe on the seat. My group has all the colors

The red/black XCR is a sharp combo too...

I love that red and black combo

I'd take a white paint pen to the C&A Pro logo and the 3 logo slashes on the ski loops, its a nice little cheap touch, and easy to remove if you don't like it.

Looks great, it pops, I'll be doing mine in black on my red loops.

Upgrading from the Pro Steers? You will love them

Nice sled! Paint the lower hood screens as well, i did mine in red and love the look!

Do you have any pics? Where did you get the color match paint? What is the paint code?

I put my skis on since day 1 so I never rode it without the C&A's. I did ride my friends VR1 with the stock skis and it seemed like the C&A made a big difference. It looks good. My friend has a red xcr with that color combo ski also.

Have 2 in our stable. Love your color combo. Had to add some white to mine.

Yes upgrading, Pro Steers seem flimsy, I've seen one in our group snap in half, looking for something stronger and more versatile.

Heavy steering effort with the C&As on the XCRs?

 

[Kicker806]

Nice work! The black and white looks sharp. I always like it when a custom job looks "factory".
Here's what I did with mine. Maybe an idea for your bezel (black stripe for yours of course).

Just my 2cents... my 850 SBA came in late and from the time (well over a yr ago) I started reading all the guys that hated the pro steers and went to something else. I thought I’d be doing the same but I can say with confidence I know how a sled should Handel and one that isn’t handling well, I demand a sled that-will turn with confidence! I set all my suspension up to my weight , compression clicks right in the middle all the way around, put on a set of studboy shaper 7.5” . I have 1.6 cobra and no studs and did the shim job on the skis. Checked ski alignment (was right on) and I don’t think I would change a thing! I rode everything from groomed trail, rough trail , off trail and very hard pack and couldn’t find a better compromising set up! No complaints. I will I’m sure play with suspension for kicks but the turning ability of this sled is remarkable. I had a set of C&A skis from my 2018 viper ready to go on the assault but absolutely no need.

Definitely stronger. And the sled actually goes where you point it

That's pretty much what my dealer told me. He could have taken my money and brought in a pair of C&A but he advised me not to waste the money. If the sled is set up right and I'm not happy, then I can always order them in at a later date.

I'm a huge fan of C&A... They were amazing on my Cats but I'll listen to my dealer and give tge pro steers a chance.

Nobody seems to say or mention if they tried putting a quality bit more aggressive bar on the pro steers... along with a good suspension setting as a start. ... they just toss the pro steers to the curb? Honestly, I took a good look at the profile ( bottom of) the pro steer and the C&As I have and said I think all this pro steer ski needs is a good bar on the bottom.. yes the C&As have options for keel and profile but that’s not always what’s needed. Also, I never seen anyone break/ snap a ski?

I put 7.5" shapers on my pro steers from day 1, sled is dialed in, put 1600 miles on them, there an ok ski, not great in fresh snow but on groomed trail there a good all around ski, I want something that has a bigger and longer keel, is more aggressive and a stronger ski, and I have seen a broken pro steer last year in our group, he claims he hit nothing. I'll be keeping my pro steers as back up and they'll go with the sled when I sell it.

 

[fz583]

Was a good fix, a buddy rode that awesome ski 15 miles, borrowed a ski from a friends sled and away we went.
