Options for CV/Stick Guards ?

I’m looking for Stick Guards for two quads.. A ’13 Foreman 500 4×4, SRA and a ’13 Rancher 420 Auto, IRS. Aluminum products make a set not terribly expensive (Installed a full set on my ’02 Foreman years ago) and I know Ricochet (Have a full set on my 570) makes a nice set.

Who else makes them and who’s set is the best "bang for the buck" ?

I’m trying to keep from spending a mint on getting these two quads set up..

Thanks guys.

I’ve done a couple quick searches but I’m running out of time..trying to get packed up.

Anyway, I just added a QuadBoss Weekender seat/cargo carrier to the new Foreman and installed an LED tail light. Can someone point me in the right direction for color codes/wiring diagram for the ’13 Foreman ?

Thanks for your time !

’13 Foreman 500 Accessories ? Suggestions Please.

Ok, I’m looking for a few things for the new Foreman and I’m sure you guys can help me out. I appreciate it.

1) I need a 2" ball and also a "hole" for the pin on my small yard cart.

Will something like this work or maybe a better option ? What do you use ?

2) Winch mount…. I’m guessing the KFI is a good bet ? Anything better ? Probably a LT3000 or Terra 3500 going on it. The bike has a Tractor Supply "Traveller" winch on it but it looks like Bubba installed it after a night out…LOL. I’ll start over.

3) Headlight and pod bulbs…. Better, brighter replacements ? I’ll install a LED light bar eventually but wants good, bright bulbs anyway.

4) A-arm guards and skid plates on hold until I get the new Cycle Country plow setup delivered.. Need to figure out what will work and what won’t with the mid mount. Just thinking out loud.

5) What else do we need ? This is going to be our utility/workhorse atv.
I ordered Bearclaw K299’s in 26" and new ITP black steel wheels to dress it up a bit for my son. I also ordered a Amazon.com: QuadBoss Weekender Trunk – Black: Automotive

I’m about done with the furious spending frenzy on quads…just trying to get them right before the good weather hits..

Anything else yo guys can suggest ? I’m all ears and…still kinda’ in the frenzy…LMAO..:laugh:

So…Just bought a ’13 Foreman ES… Anything I Need To Know ?

I’ve been looking to upgrade my ’02 Foreman for a while and finally found a suitable replacement. A great condition ’13, ES with 278 miles on it. The bike is for my son and will be the workhorse of our fleet. Just ordered a Cycle Country plow system with a 52" Poly blade complete for 334$ shipped…not bad. The bike came with a Tractor Supply winch but might install a new SuperWinch that I picked up cheap.

Anywayz…… I pick it up tomorrow and will do a complete bumper~to~bumper maintenance for a "new to me" quad… Everything.

Anything else I need to know about these bikes ? Quirks, adjustments or anything else to look out for ?

I really wanted an EPS bike but….couldn’t justify the added expense…Besides..he’s 15 and strong as an ox, he’ll be fine..LOL..:laugh:

Thanks guys and I appreciate your input,
