DIY Snow Flap Delete
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Here's a quick little DIY snow flap delete for all you Arctic Cat folks out there. Snowmobiles need cooling from the snow and the flap plays a huge role in making sure that happens. But what happens when you get in the deep powder and the flap is always in the way? Recently Ski-Doo developed their LinQ system and it's an awesome way to quickly remove the snowmobile snow flap. For those of us with Arctic Cat sleds it's a little more of a challenge.
If you're new to our channel, we post videos about snowmobile tuning. Lots of tips and tricks for maintaining and modifying your sled and sled trailer. Mostly just DIY sled stuff for people who like to get their hands dirty or tinker in their garage.

Maybe with some crazy engineering you could make one that slides back in and out under the tunnel. Cool sled hack man.
Flap comes off my cat when it gets in the shop! Never ran hot a day except when u pull the Poo out🤣 just send it!!!
Been trying to figure out a clean simple way to do this for a while. Just made my day

Boom! Love it.
rivet style threaded inserts would also be an alternative to the carriage bolt, less to drop in the snow, love the idea though!

@@DIGIT9 I bought it at Menards, it’s like a Home Depot if your not familiar with them, but they are all over the Interwebs, not too expensive either, in store I think it was 20$ and the inserts were only a few bucks

I did this on my axys with the threaded rivets and male threaded plastic handles. Also did threaded rivets into the top of my hard pelican case to store the flap.
Keeping it simple! Braaap!!!❄️
What i did was cut off the bottom section where it says arctic cat, and left about 3-4" above it, and riveted that back on. It looks so much better then no flap.
That is a great Mod easy peasy.....
Love these videos....
LOL did you say Homie Depo HAHAHA. God I love this Channel!! Forever a Fan!!

I don't understand why more people haven't mentioned that "Homie Depo" part! When I was editing this video I literally laughed out loud every single time he said that. - Randy
Scratchers work great too.
Great mod ✌️
Speaking of mud flaps remember the time you got the duelley stuck on the trail and ripped your mud flap off ?
Sounds like you need to switch brands bud!!! 😆 I'm not a mountain rider. But I seen alot of down cats in the trail.
‘’ these tunnels are shit anyways’’ 😂😂😂✊

I haven't had a use for a snow flap on my last 4 sleds, its the first thing to get removed when the sled comes home.

Yeah I was just thinking, isn’t that why Ice scratchers were invented? Don’t they do all the cooling, especially with the doo’s? Like the 2020 and 2021 mountain sleds? Since they don’t come with snow flaps from factory anyway?
Whats the length of that center one going through the bumper?

Also "Jam" nuts to keep carriage bolts in place, then you just leave them in.

I just wanna put this out there.. my 09 IQ chassis has 2 coolers and carriage bolt slider inserts into of the tunnel LOL Sidenote cat makes the worst tunnels and coolers they have since 2000's silly Ditch Pickles
Have you ever seen the angry Canadian snowmobiler KZread video! 😆 Check it out!
Huuummmmm .... i'm thinkin dumpster
Awesome. Another video of someone making a sled completely un-trail worthy. Between this and the derps putting cans on anything with an exhaust to shave a couple lbs at the expense of losing riding areas and getting db tickets I wonder why even call yourself a snowmobiler. Got any any vids of yourself ripping up a ditch and jumping roads?

Does that sled look like a trail sled ? Save your virtuous tears for when you'll really need them fun guy.
It's all shit lol braaaaap nice
Would be alot cooler if scrap guys pooo guys weren't trying to mod their sleds into doos all the time. Oh ya but a doo is so expensive lol get a clue
If they have no cooler, why have a big ugly snowflap on top of the tunnel instead of the bottom were you can't see it.

Flap would need trimming, snow would build up and bottoming out could be an issue
If the tunnels are shit? Why buy a cat. Get a yammy.
