BRP Sues Arctic Cat

Say you were BRP (Skidoo) and in 2003 you revolutionize the look and feel of the snowmobile. Either you are going to stand alone with your new design or you are going to be held as an example and the other 3 major sled manufacturers are going to follow. Well follow they did. And Arctic cat got a little too close to some patents.

Here is an article from the Montreal Gazette explaining the suit and the issues at hand.

Most BK Parts on a Snowmobile

Rarely do we get to see our parts again after they leave the shop. Where do they go? What's their new life like? What did they get attached to? Well Ken showed us where all the Arctic Cat parts he has been buying went.

Ken, of Ken's Auto and Truck Repair, is a frequent face to see at the shop. Obviously, he is an Arctic Cat guy and is always the first to call when a new Cat shows up at the shop. This is one of his custom sleeper sleds.

The body and chassis is a 2001 z440. Now, the z440's came with a stock 2 cylinder motor. As many of you know, the motor and exhaust are all designed to fit in a certain chassis. What makes this sled a sleeper?

If you heard this sled fire up, you would know that you were in for a ride. That is a 1998 ZRT 800 triple motor with triple pipe exhaust. If you follow the pipes to the can, you will notice that there is a Skidoo Mach z 780 performance can. There is no other sled out there that sounds like this beast.

Ok, so just how many parts on this sled were purchased from Bk Boat n Sleds? 20...50....how about ALL of them! We strip em down and Ken rebuilt. This sled was created with 100% Bk parts. That makes this the sled with the most BK parts in the world.
