Hey Troy.

Yeah, I think so.
I still have to adjust the idle slightly on them but that is minor.

I have been looking at a different sled. I have it narrowed to probably a Ultra or a XLT. Which one of yours do you like better.

Hey Lee.

Really hard to say, don't have much time on either really. Got about 45 miles on mine and only about a mile on the XLT personally.

The Ultra is 109HP(as far as I can find) and the XLT is 90HP. I've seen some articles on problems with the XLT 600 eating crank bearings, depends on the year you get though.

Let me tell ya, they both get up and go.

Found a couple of each in the $800 - $1200 range. I like the Ultra but they weigh over 600 lbs to about 480lbs for the XLT.

Hmmm, wonder what makes the Ultra weigh so much more?
As far as I know, both of mine are around the same weight, close to 500 pounds.

It will make a difference if it is an aggressive chassis or wedge style, everything I've seen those aggressive chassis are quite a bit heavier than a wedge.
