    This is my first sled I have done most of the work on myself it is a 1985 indy 600 triple. It took a lot of time and work but I am happy on how good it turned out the suspension is total rebuilt,the engine has all new lines and hoses and one new piston.I put adjustable front shocks on and repainted everything I could. We cut down the front windshield and painted it black and rebuilt the clutches.It is a lot of fun rebuilding them my dad got me into it when we rebuilt a 1972 colt about five years ago I was only 12 then.

    NICE looking ‘older’ sled. I had an 1986 Indy 600, red (I think) I remember being a “Sleadhead” quite a few years ago, turning wrenches and being a grease monkey! Now with a newer sled, I am afraid to touch it with a wrench!! Nice looking sled!!!
