Now this rig is top line from bumper top bumper.With out a doubt this is one of the finest reworked Bombardiers on the continent.The fine work manship that was required to create this sporty over the snow vehicle is synonymous with the same quality that is seen in the Bombardier parts that Dan manufactures.It has been said that when Dan cuts a machine in half he may ad 5 feet or take out 5 feet.Say, by the way what do you call this Porsche of the snow buses,a B-6.
Good luck

That looks like differant cross bars or cleats on his tracks. Can you get differant ones.

I believe those are off of a J-5 or something similar.  They are not a original bombardier cleat.  He was worried he would snap the originals.

Dwag, I guess they would be good in snow. Not too sure about on ice or on trails with slippery turns. I think the back end would slide back & forth. Probably ok for a j5 like you say.
