EZ Power Steering

I installed one last year on the wife quad and it works great so I just finished putting one on mine. I highly recommend getting it but be ready to spend some time installing it but it’s worth it[emoji106][emoji631]

she’s back in the saddle again after the wreck

My wife flipped her Polaris 550 3 weeks ago…..alot of bruises, mild concussion, 2 broke ribs… I thought she might give up ATV riding but she said hell no!….the insurance company totaled it out and we decided to get a Polaris Sportsman 570 XP Hunter Edition…. we rode today..she was a little timid but has officially got back in the saddle….I drove it a little bit and I really really like it… love the body style and it has a little pep… we drove for 5 hours today and I could see the confidence coming back in Amber eyes

Rear seat upgrades x2

Looking for a wrap around box style back rest to work in conjunction with the back rest on the X2, or some form of seat upgrade to make the X2 more comfortable for a passenger.
The inter webs isn’t being of much help in the aftermarket, I guess kind of a small market.
Anyone have a upgrade or replacement story to go with an X2?

Mines a 09

Thanks

Pure polaris wireless winch remote question.

Howdy fellas, maybe someone can suggest a good place to mount this winch controller. I’m going to install it today.

The red wire terminal that goes from the winch "in/out" switch to the wiring harness is below the headlight pod, under the panel/cover.

The white plastic wire terminal on the switch control wires is located very near the winch. So I’m going to get some 12 or 14 guage wire to make things reach easier.

My question is what’s the best place to install the receiver/controller?

I have the Lock n Ride front cargo box.

Any help is appreciated.

Well, the day started out good…and then

Geerig and I tried out a new ATV park this a.m./afternoon, beautiful park, probably THE best trail system I’ve ridden in state to date, spent most the day there without incident.

Way home some buddies are camping and have a guys new 900 trail rzr down there on the private land…so we fill back up to do some riding and we’re both curious about the rzr since we’ve never ridden in one. We get there and the two buddies camping told us about their roll over onto the side they had shortly before we got there..no biggie, no damage other than pride.

I took my ride and was impressed with the plushness, Geerig went for his ride, I unloaded my quad after they left and on way back rzr guy wanted to "show me" my quad couldn’t keep up with his new rzr….he took a corner too hot, they ended up on the roof LOL. No harm, just a bent roll cage, oil soaking Geerig’s shirt, yada yada.

So went back this evening to sit around the camp fire and bs, nobody will ride with the guy with the rzr…cuz "we just know"….well Geerig decides to hop in. They were gone awhile and we hear them pull up. Geerig comes limpin over the camp fire "he fucked me up dude"…you guys flip again? no..had a branch come thru the floor and stab my foot.

Trail busting the perfect combination, a downed tree with a stubbed branch with a spear end, went through the top arm, over the axle (as a guide so to speak), through the plastic "skid plate", through the floor board, through Geerigs shoe and into the bottom of his foot LOL.

Chances of that, I’d like to know the odds but gotta be 1:million.

So I gave him a handful of vicatin, they iodine’s and "butterflied" it together at camp with band aids…just have a feeling he’s gunna be sore for a bit. Right in the outside edge of his left foot is a nice 1" gash where the branch stabbed him LOL.

Track ideas

Have just under 3 acres to play with behind the homestead. About 150′ by 600′. Set up a track as a large oval with a few small s curves here and there. Thinking I need to revise for better use (middle open) and more fun for the kids. Running utility quads, 2007 rancher and old recon.

Anyone have any links or pictures of some good examples. Not wanting to go crazy on jumps as utility bikes. Land holds water in the spring, thinking great spot to make a small mud pit.
