Hey RZR folks… thought I would share my recent DIY project.
If you’ve researched lighted whips, I bet you’ve come across the 5050 and 3528 LED strips. I really didn’t fell like spending a small fortune on a single color, non-multi-functional whip, so I got on eBay and ordered the parts.
I used the 5 meter waterproof 3528 LED strip for my build, (more LEDs per length, the 5050 are larger LEDs but less per foot). Then, I wrapped them around a 6′ Firestik™ antenna. I chose to wrap the strip as densely as possible and got right at 4′ of coverage on the 6′ whip. This will be perfect for me so that I can attach my 2’x3′ pirate flag at the top. 4′ of LEDs and a large flag, I like it! Then, with 3/4" clear heat-shrink, I sealed the deal.
I haven’t mounted it yet, but I can tell you, I wasn’t expecting such a small threaded portion at the bottom of the pole. The Firestik™ is designed around being a CB antenna and they use a smaller diameter threaded portion as well as being pretty short on threads. The threaded section is only 5/16" long and 3/8" in diameter, so I’ll probably use a heavy duty mount spring from Firestik™ with a roll bar style attachment, if I can find a roll bar bracket with a small enough hole for the whip. Otherwise, I will use a flat surface style CB antenna mount to bolt through my stock Polaris roof. There are several options/styles available.
In the video you can see the colors and functions in action. I’m running the whip from a wall plug since I don’t have it wired and installed on the RZR yet, but you’ll get the idea. If you have questions, post them, and I’ll answer with my input.
I just wanted to give a shout out to Dave at Page Title I ordered everything to redo my front and rear suspension, bearings, and brakes. Customer service was top notch, I ordered my parts Thursday morning, and had them in my shop Saturday afternoon. Everything was very well packaged, and received everything I needed. Thanks again Dave!!

I have searched and searched for an answer to this with no luck. Has anyone bolted a 900s wheel to an 800 hub? I know the studs are different sizes but I’m just wondering about fit.

Buddy of mine is pulling his toy hauler up to Turkey Bay, Land between the lakes, LBL, ect… (what ever you want to call it) anyhow he and another friend are rolling in Thursday and I’ll be there Friday morning. We plan on staying till Sunday and going to try and get a lot of much needed riding in. I’m just passing the invite out to who ever wants to come. All together it will be four of us with two rzr’s and two canned spam Maveric’s and all is welcome to come join in. I’m finally getting a chance to run my turbo 4 seater monster after a long summer of nothing but work.
