ELKA shocks for sale

I have 2 sets of Elka stage 3 shocks that fit 2007-2013 Grizzly.
They have been used for a little over a year.
1 set is set-up for 210 lbs rider plus winch.
The other set is for 120 lbs rider.
The front ones are 2 way adj, the rears are 3 way adjustable.
I sold both machines to buy 2017 s and these wont fit the new ones.
They make a major difference in ride and handling.
I will take 700$ plus shipping each set.
I am in northern New Mexico USA

Renegade 1000 weight reduction

Just thinking this machine weights up around 700 pounds… Is there anything that could be removed or simplified to shave a few pounds?

A couple ideas I had: Remove the extra plastic shield on the left side, and paint the exhaust heat shield VHT flat black. Also remove the dual taillights, and make a bracket across behind the muffler for a single taillight.

Also thought about removing the plastic shields up under the front fenders. But concerned they may shield sensitive parts though.

Whatever I do, I want it to look good, and not hacked up…

Any ideas or pictures?

2013 400x Throttle Stop Screw

I accidentally backed out this screw from the botom of the carb bowl. Its attached to a small cable and I cant seem to get it to catch when trying to put it back in, due to the cramped space and location.
Should I need to remove the carb in order to get it back in and if so, what typically is necessary to remove when taking the carb off?
