It's been half a lifetime since we did Storm updates by the gross year after year, but IIRC the updated '95 cylinders used the same nicasil cylinder as the stock '96 Storm and the same 'C' series pistons, not that any of it is going to be easy to find anymore. The pressurized cooling system update was important too on those, but doubt you'd find the parts still if it hadn't been done way back when. Took some work to match the mach-z and thunderchickens, but we managed to have some fast 1000ft Storm's in the stable over the years. Nice to see survivors still around.
The first time I seen an Ultra. I notice the carb boots were different location and the water pump gear driven different location vs the belt driven pump above starter. I begin to gravitate from the triples to liberty twins. when i first seen Polaris new CRC front suspension i was sold. The IFS bolt snap on older wedge it was not a hassle to get out but if it was rusted and seized heat or drill the bolt out. The gen II 800 triple crc front suspension was pretty cool
Todd, love watching your content, it’s like revisiting my sledding past. Stimulated me personally getting a vintage sled…97 xcr red rocket… still trying to track down a few parts to get it complete, wonder if you know anyone that would have nos or good condition parts available for this sled… keep those triples greasy!
Great finds guys! Sounds like Taylor sold his Red Rocket. Wonder what he did with that 92 650 Pumpkin he had on the trailer in the first video? Awesome seeing a true survivor Ultra! Cheers guys 🍻🍻🍻
Man ,I wish I could bump into a deal like that . Nice sleds!! Those old muscle wedges go for a lot around me , unless it's an XLT , those are pretty reasonable.
It is hard in a "comment section", But I would love for you to school me on the Ultras. People say: They are heavy, not much for HP gain...etc, ect. I always loved their looks and sound.
I didnt realize some years were 1yr only parts.........im looking at a 1993 750 storm. Its super clean but id imagine parts are few and far between forntgat one too. Your thoughts? Thanks for all the great content!!
I would say the 97 ultra sp. It's an extra 10 single pipe. I own one and it's a real trail friendly sled. My 22 year old daughter rides it when I'm not.
That ultra made it to 2024 without seeing road salt now she’s taking a cross country trip. I’m sure he’s gonna give it a bath when he gets home but still
My 98 XCR 440 only had 10 less hp than that 96 ultra in stock form. It would eat stock XLTs for breakfast but im guessing his XLT with a turbo would have handed my 98 its ass 😂
Taylor scored on these for sure. The Colorado mountains are going to appreciate hearing those.
Yes he did for sure

Awesome! It’s great to see guys jacked up about old Polaris sleds!
Doesn't take much for us 😁
I still have my all original 96 ultra SP. Just under 1400 original miles! It's been a lot of fun over the years.
Dang
I’m jealous, and here I am super excited I got a barn find fresh skidoo DLX 583😂
😁
Love the storm great looking sleds.👍👍
They are!

Thanks for watching and enjoying. Sorry I do not
Love that ultra. I have a 1996 sp ultra in shop that I'm redoing.
Good luck with your project

Awesome seeing a true survivor Ultra!
Cheers guys 🍻🍻🍻
His buddy Josh bought the 92. Taylor was just the delivery guy for it.
Oh ok! I’ve got a 92 Pumpkin already and am always on the lookout for more! lol

Right on
What a couple of beauties. Lucky guy, keep up the great work buddy 👍
Yes he is
Them are beautiful selds. I've always wanted a 95 Strom. That was the 1st seld I ever road on n I was hooked..
Where are you from? My parents live on a street called burritt st.
Right on
Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Thank you! Cheers!

I have several of them. Yes from the factory they left a lot of HP on the table. With triple pipes they are an animal. Stock they run well also
awesome finding 💯
You bet
I own two 1993 Indy Storm 750 s and they are hard to find parts for , the water pumps are the hardest to find Todd
Do some videos on them...the only year they were 750s too
I have a private stash of the storm water pumps 😁
@@toddclyne3493 if I need one I know who I'm calling 😁
Nice scores
Absolutely
Very nice finds
Glad you enjoyed
Man I want an ultra so bad now more than ever lol
😁
I like the Ultra but the Storm 1995 like this, it 's a rare in Québec i love this sled and the most ... the triple triple song ❤
Thanks for watching North of the boarder
Nice finds on those 2 though
They are both awesome
Very nice!
Thanks
Man those things are sweet
Yes they are
Can’t beat Ford pickups and Polaris sleds.
😆😆 right about that

Yes very hard to find 750 parts. Most people just put an 800 in them
Love what you do !! Just curious what your favorite year Ultra is and why ? Take care 🍺🍺
I would say the 97 ultra sp. It's an extra 10 single pipe. I own one and it's a real trail friendly sled. My 22 year old daughter rides it when I'm not.
Yea I’d agree. For the same reason.
Triple's ❤
😁
I have a 95 and 97 storm. My 95sks is most dependable sled. I have 99 xcr 800 to
Nice line up
I'd rebuild the water pump on the ultra. Sounds alittle noisy.
Standing next to it I really didn't hear anything but yes he is for sure
Any advice on srx Yamaha ?
Sorry man but I don't
That thing is pimp. No doubt about it.
Yes it is
Where u live minnesota? If so same here buddy
Yes mn
@toddclyne3493 hell yeah dude
I need help with 96 xcr sp
Todd its so nice i would of fell on my ass upon arrival lol nice score for sure
😂
There's some 4 sell in Alaska
That ultra made it to 2024 without seeing road salt now she’s taking a cross country trip. I’m sure he’s gonna give it a bath when he gets home but still
He'll over clean it when he gets home 😁
My 98 XCR 440 only had 10 less hp than that 96 ultra in stock form. It would eat stock XLTs for breakfast but im guessing his XLT with a turbo would have handed my 98 its ass 😂
He's working on the tuning. I'm guessing it will scream once he figures it out 😅
Where are you hiding this lucky horse shoe?
😂😂
Facebook market place?
The ultra yes the storm word of mouth
I remember 110 fuel being $3.00 a gallon
😂 a long time ago
