Vampires vs outlaws

Okay, so I’m trying to decide what tire to do on my 91 300 fourtrax, I’m gonna have the 2 inch lift kit on it so thinking 27 would be a good size, I know about the different gear ratios front to back, just wondering about 27 vampires, or 27 outlaws??

Need help guys

i need I find out what this part is called. One side goes to my coil and the other goes up to my cdi. I ordered a new coil last night because I’m not getting spark with a new spark plug. But this wire looks as if it has seen better days. Any info would help

Backwoods Repairs

So if you ever find yourself with a broken lower ball joint, simply position everything where it should be and throw a ratchet strap around the lower a-arm and the tie-rod mount on the strut making sure nothing rubs on the tire or CV boot. Your steering will be limited but it’s better than walking.

What unconventional repairs have you done to get back home?

Ratchet straps suck!

Maybe I’m just a dummy (that’s probably it) but ratchet straps just don’t work for me when trailering the ATV. They always bend over, feed thru the ratchet, and I have a big mess. This is compounded when it is 0 degrees out. Are the "cam buckle" type straps good enough for trailering? To access my hunting property I go up and down some pretty bumpy, rocky, steep dirt roads. Looking for something that’s not a ratchet that will hold. And I’m not into drilling into the trailer so the wheel things are out.

Panels

Has anyone ran without the 2 under panels? How about the crapily attached ones in the front wheel wells?

I do do some mudding but it seems like all the panels do is collect mud…
