BoxMN Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Not sure if this is even possible, or worth the $$, but is there a relatively minor way to add a risor to handlebars on this old of a sled? Reason being, it is running great, good for kids or guests, but for anybody larger than about 3'5" the handle bar hits the knees in turns. Even 2" would be a great help. Also, I know it doesn't have good rear suspension anyway, but would new shocks in back (4500 miles) even be noticable help and worth the $50 or so bucks?... Thanks, thinking already of next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HNTNBUX Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yes new shocks would be worth it to the short people driving it. Since you cost me money I figure you should spend some too. Last week you posted about fresh powder on lake Emily and since my new to me cabin is across the street on Dahler that was all I could think about on the way up. Saturday morning I hit the lake and thought the east side would have the deepest snow. Twenty minutes of fun later I was stuck in over knee deep snow and slush. After getting wet and sweaty getting it out I hit the trails. When I got back to the cabin I told my wife I got stuck and wanted a new sled. She replied "Do what you want" which is pretty typical for her. . A couple phone calls later I put a down payment on a new Renegade and picked it up yesterday. Thank you.

BoxMN Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hahahahaha!!!! Glad to be of service! That is great! Congrats on the cabin and the new ride next year! Maybe meet up this summer some time and swap crappie holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HNTNBUX Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 That sounds great but we picked this area pretty randomly and unfortunately it would be pretty one sided on the crappie spots. I did get some crappies on Mary last weekend but those are the first ones. It is going to be a learning experience this summer and fall.

Macgyver55 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 A couple phone calls later I put a down payment on a new Renegade and picked it up yesterday. Thank you. I hope you are as happy as I am with my new Renegade! Only got to put 450 miles on it this year getting used to it, but man when I pull up to the pumps with the 600 Etec and it uses half the gas my 600HO Renegade did (and will easily out run it) I love it even more. What motor did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HNTNBUX Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It is the 600 etech but I am pretty sure it is a 600 HO etech. Lots of power and smooth loading it in the trailer but that's all I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
