XMR 570 Plastics

Hi guys, I’m new to the forum here. I picked up a 2016 XMR 570 about 2 months ago. I love the bike, but the black plastics are already looking horrible from scratches. I was wondering 1st off, will the bigger XMR plastics fit the 570? I was thinking maybe the yellow wouldn’t show scratches as bad. And also, I saw that you can buy white plastics for the XMR, just not sure if they would fit my 570. But for some reason they are a lot more expensive than the other colored plastics. Why is that? Are they painted? Any help is much appreciated…

Hi from Colorado

Howdy! Native of Colorado, just bought my first ATV. It’s a polaris 570 touring, with a glacier 60" plow system. We have a few acres now, and with a long dirt/gravel driveway its best to get a plow. I still have my craftsman 2 stage snow blower as well.

Like I posted in another thread, what is the recommended height to set the skid shoes on a gravel/dirt road?

Fix My Toys VS. Partzilla

Figured I share a little comparison of the things I went through when trying to order the same part through Fix My Toys and Partzilla.

I Found the part on Partzilla initially and since it said it was in stock I went ahead with the order on Monday 10/10/16. I received my order confirmation email almost immediately but never received a shipping notification. On Wednesday 10/12/16 they sent me an email saying my part would ship on 10/17/16 because it was not in stock. I cancelled the order and started looking elsewhere.

I ended up finding the part on Ebay cheaper than Partzilla and noticed it was sold by Fix My Toys. His listing said they had 10+ in stock so I made the order on Friday 10/14/16 figuring it wouldn’t ship until Monday. Well, to my surprise the part shipped the same day and will arrive from Michigan to Louisiana on Tuesday 10/18/16.

I do believe from here on out I will be buying OEM parts through Fix My Toys, can’t beat fast shipping when you’re waiting on a part to be able to ride.
