RZR 1000 Fox Edition – Front Bumper

I am looking for a full front bumper that also protects the headlights. I’ve looked at most of the ones from major accessory companies and none of them seem to fit the Fox Edition.
Does anyone out there know where I can buy a front bumper / brush guard that will fit the Fox Edition machine?

Replacement hardware kits?

For some of the hardware used on RZR’s, why are those tapered self-threading style bolts used instead of normal straight bolts like the Japanese brands use? I noticed some of the OEM replacement chassis/frame parts that you order don’t have threads in the holes, you can just use the tapered bolts to make the threads. Is it better to use actual thread taps instead, then use regular straight bolts wherever possible? (newb questions – recently got my first RZR)

Are there any kind of aftermarket/higher-quality/better looking hardware kits available for RZRs (XP1000), or is a hardware store the best bet?
And which hardware/bolts on the XP1000 do you think should be upgraded for better quality/strength and looks?

Research phone call

So I just had a company call from some research group asking if I still owned my rzr and asking my age and email and that’s it. And they are emailing me a gift card. Anyone get this? Gotta be a scam. Gave them my junk email addy so we shall see.

Ok email came in, gongos research…. 20 min survey for a 5 dollar gift card. Is it a scam or real. I don’t giving imput if it’s real.

High Pitched whine from my light bar?

2015+ rzr 4 900 eps

Have an 8 gauge wire ran from the neg side of the battery to the grounding post on my power port under the hood. Connection is tight.

6 gauge wire ran from positive battery connection to after market fuse block.

Everything works, just have a high pitched whine like the light bar isn’t grounded correctly. The only time I can get the wine to stop is if I pull the ground wire off the power port and touch it to one of the grease zerts on the front axle. Grounding anywhere else results in the whine again. Ive tried at least 30 different spots. Pulled the light off and hooked it up, the exact same way as mine, to a buddy’s 1000 and no whine. Can’t for the life of me figure this out and its driving me crazy, so I figure I’d throw it out there and see if anyone has dealt with this before.

Thanks in advance!

rim and tire set up PLEASE HELP

I know this has been talked about but all i could find was a couple years ago that it was. I just bought a 2014 stealth black rzr 900 xp only 4 hours , almost like new. I live in georgia and will be riding a large trail on some private land, little sandy . loamy mixed with GA clay. not looking for any DEEP MUDDING, been there done that with 4 wheels to much breaks, will not be doing any ROCK climbing. but i like to ride fast and a bit hard?
i am thinking going to 14 inch rims, but what width rim? should i make all 4 the same ? and what size tires? i dont want to hurt top speed or take off?
I am sure it has been figured out to a science by now. so any info or thoughts would be VERY HELPFULL.

Mirror from top of cage.

I have Polaris window that has a frame that takes up the roll bar on each side.
I need a mirror that can mount from the top of the cage with a somewhat long arm to use as a side view mirror.
I looked at RAM mounts and if they had one that fit our 1.75" cage it would work.
anyone know of mirrors that can mount with long arms?
