« on: July 15, 2011, 07:16:05 AM »
I came across this while looking for parts for my Street Tracker project. Phil Little is a respected name in dirt tracking. Very interesting.

I do like that he's making a new mold to make the top of what looks like an RXL hood match up to the existing pan - that will be a lot cheaper! However, it will not look much like an RXL that way, I don't think. Will be interesting to see one completed. Great Idea - I applaud the effort!@

That is a cool idea!!    Would convert a indy to one of those for sure if he does start making the kits.

I'm looking forward to this, and hope Phill gets it off the ground. I'd like to do this with my 2000 XCSP600 ves, Gen2 body.

I understand the "I want to see a finished hood etc".  I received a few e-mails from Phil the guy behind this project. I told him I think producing a hood in Polaris midnight blue would be the most desireable, even with the fact that most Indy's would have a black belly pan.  Please post if you agree with that. How many are seriously interested in this kit?

Yep ..Blue hood and maybe at a later date a fiber glass pan to replace the plastic one also in blue.

it will be nice to ride on the trail as opposed to a real rxl with the open belly pan, but as larry said wont be really fooling anyone that it is a rxl.
