I have / had a 2013 420AT that I have put a decent amount of work into but the only downside is that it doesn’t have the factory power steering. Also, lets be clear that the bike is not getting sold or traded for one that does have power steering. I physically can’t swing that after the last purchase that led to this thread.
The rancher was mine but the lady wanted to get more active in the sport so I suggested that we take a few trips to see if it was what she really wanted to do. My buddy had a Rincon that I could borrow so we went on two wheeling trips. The first one was 90mi in two days at AOAA and the other was 40mi at Lost Trails. After these trips I lost the bike to her and went searching for my dream bike. Sorry folks but, I made the jump to BRP and picked up a leftover 2015 800R XTP.
So enough back story and back to why I started this thread. SuperATV used to make a power steering kit for the rancher. This is no longer the case and they only produce a universal kit. After much searching I finally found the original instructions for the rancher kit that they no longer make to compare it along side with the one that they do make.
The main differences are in the SuperATV kits are the steering stems and linkage used. I have been searching eBay and have found used power steering stems from Ranchers and other various parts. I know Super ATV has their own ECU but I do not know how it operates; same with Honda’s. I have found nearly all the parts from the Honda system used as well.
Does anyone know the spline count on the Honda stem?
Does anyone know the spline count on the SuperATV unit?
I am either going to try and make the universal kit work or buy all the parts for the Honda unit and try to make that work. Wanted to hear your thoughts on the matter.
Thanks,
Mark
