Does anyone have or recommend an outdoor cover for my 2004 Sportsman? I won’t always be able to keep it in the garage so I’d like a good sturdy cover for when it needs to sit outside.

Grim Reapers Rubbing – 850 Touring
I purchased some 26-11 14 Grim reapers. I notice them rubbing on the rear seat floor brace when under significant compression. Anyone else have this issue? I am running stock wheels. Anyone make any mods that work well? I didn’t want to buy rims or put spacers on….
I really like the tires but don’t want to tear them up from rubbing the lugs on the metal brace….
Thanks in advance…

93 Sportsman solenoid?
93 Polaris Sportsman 4×4 2 stroke.
New battery filled and charged by me on slow charge for several days.
Installed it as requested.
The problem before was it only had a click from the solenoid. The old battery was definitely dead, even desulfating charger didn’t save it. So I put in the new one.
So, when I turn the key on and push the starter button it just clicks once.

If I take my roll around charger and hook to ground and the starter side of the solenoid and turn it on it cranks over ok.
I’m sure this is a bad solenoid. Question: is there an interchange for the solenoid from auto parts or other atv/mc brands?
Thanks in advance.

Front rims
I got a 09 550, new owner here. The front rims are tweaked pretty bad, the beads leaked so bad I had to break them down and clean the pebbles out of there, how the heck do they get way up there anyway?
I want to get a new pair of rims to put on so I can take out the shake. I found some ITP for real cheap, but they’re 5+2, where the stock I think is a little flatter. It looks like they’ll fit without hitting the tie rod ends, anybody definitely if they’ll work?

Right front drive
Maybe not exactly the right forum but, how does the front drive unit activate, I mean mechanically? new owner, when the bike is up on the stand in 2wd, the left front spins freely (well, bent disc so it hangs up a little) but the right front catches and pulls, no clunking so no bad CV joint I think, but I can really feel the ring and pinion teeth going by each other.
My question is, does the right front axle stay engaged to the diff all the time? Or is something wrong with the actuator so mine does? It’s a lot more resistance to turn the right by hand than it is the left, and the bike always pulls a little to the right.
I had a 86 dodge 150 that had rf axle always engaged and the lf was 2 piece with a vacuum actuator that slid a sleeve over the splines to lock the 2, is the reason I’m wondering. Oh yeah, 09 550 eps
