Guess they think folks are willing to pay list for them. I may be interested next year, but not now. Changing hy-fax on da Hagwire and going another year with it. 3100 miles on em and still plenty of wear left, but since I have the skid out, may as well change em.
just started on my JagDaddy. Pulled the shocks for a re-charge. Everything seems good otherwise. Best Cat I ever owned. Gas and go.
Did they have rebuildables on the "07"?? I have a Ryde FX in the skid rear and a non- adjustable on the front. Gonna change all that before it goes back in. Don't wanna ruin the great ride, but I might have to put some stiffer rebuildables I have around here in it.

I switched out my rear shocks with Cat ACT shocks last winter. No difference in ride as compared to stock POS shocks that came with it. Now at least the front rear shock doesn't bottom out like the stock one did. Still a outstanding riding sled! What 150+ mile ride did I just do?

Yeah its a early build and had the ACT's. I had a choice last year a EB with acts or a later build without. I took the EB.
There really isn't a better riding and handling trail sled out there than the Jag.

My friend Vince Ditched a Turbocat, and he said it was way way better than you would think...it was the extended track version I think...And Vince isn't a dummy. He has owned them all.
Also, you guys had no trouble "pounding" on the sleds from 2000 back...those were "heavy" by today's standards..

If alls you want to do is ride the lake back and forth as fast as a missle look for a used rx-1 and turbo the turd.
You can find those things for free on some sites. Perfect, heavy slow, horrible in the trails, wit a turdo? It'd be fun for the lake.

It's not going backwards in technology it's going forward, weight is just a number, I rode the Turbo two-up for about 20 miles last March, on the Red Lake River, down an old spur that had 2'-3' moguls, and along the ditchline along Pennington Cty. Hwy. 3 and down State Hwy 59, in every situation I could ride the Turbo faster than I could my ZR 900 Sno-Pro.
Lightness is fine for a Sno-Cross track, my style of riding is similar to Cross Country racing, give me a sled that is solid and can take on any terrain in a 300 mile day with my 200lbs and another 40lbs gear on board and not fold up.
Keep the trackside down .
