I purchased a 2006 Yamaha SX Mountain Viper, and it has been a great sled!  I still have my 1999 Yamaha Mountain Max 700, which has now primarily been a backup sled.  I purchased the Viper new, and before riding it, I started with the customizing.  The first thing on my agenda was to get fresh paint, so I could decide on everything else I would want.

The color scheme I chose for this sled is black metallic with charcoal metallic flames.  Then added some clear black to give the flames some dimension.  The result… some seriously sick ghostly flames.  Unless the sun is at the correct angle, you have no idea the flames are there.

Plastics were easy to choose after finally deciding on paint.  I thought yellow would be the best choice, so I ordered SLP Powder Pro skis, with yellow loops of course.  After installing a yellow skid plate and seeing how this sled was turning out, I knew I chose the right combination. 

To shave some weight, I ordered a Boss Seat, which anyone who orders one of these knows about wait time for completion of your special order, and all the options you have.  I kept my seat quite simple.  The seat has been great!

I ditched the stock handle bar and went with a Fly carbon fiber straight bar.  To get my height back, an eight inch billet aluminum riser, and aiding in better handling, 45 degree billet aluminum hooks on the outside. 

I have also installed billet aluminum wheels and next to be installed, lightweight trailing arms.  I’ve had lots of compliments from people on the trails and I really enjoy listening to what people have to say, so please feel free to leave comments.  Also if anyone is interested, one of these 2 sleds will be up for sale.  I haven’t decided which sled yet.
