I’m wanting to put the same size tires all around but I don’t really want to go to the 30"roctanes. The 28"roctanes look to be just slightly bigger than the stock bighorns.Has anyone else done this and do you have any pics?
Looking for light recommendations…
I am looking for some offroad lights for the top of my roll cage. Not really interested in a bar, I would rather get 4 individual round lights. Thinking two spots in the middle and a flood on either end. Something like the PIAA lights except cheaper(hopefully!) and as bright as possible. Any recommendations that you have on lights or mounts would be great. Pictures are better! Thanks in advance.

2015 Rincon Wheels on a 2008 Honda Foreman
Hello all,
I have came to your form to seek advice on the pickle I got myself in.
My 2008 Honda Foreman 4×4 still had the stock tires and they were in need of definite replacement, certainly in the front!
So set of 4 new tires it is! Off to find a deal! So of course first stop was over to the great guys at mud-throwers.com. They always have been great to me over the years on my other rides.
I debated if I wanted to go with the Interco Swamp Lites which I have had nothing but good things to say about on my Recon or if I wanted to try the Maxxis Zilla’s which I also heard great reviews on. After some debate I decided to be adventurous and go with the Zila’s. Mud throwers price was 330 bucks. Plus 10 bucks each tire to mount em on the stock rims so $370 job done!
Done deal right….Not quite….
In my ever infinite wisdom I decided to get on eBay to search of any deals! I am always a wheeler dealer!
And what did I find! A great deal of course! There was a Honda Dealer (Honda of Russellville) that had pulled of a brand new stock set of wheels and tires off a 2015 Honda Rincon. Asking 450 for them free ship!
I said hmmm for a little bit more I could upgrade my rims (it would look sweet) and be able to just mount the wheels right up to the atv (no going to the tire store)
Sell the stock rims and be at the same price as just tires from mud throwers.
Now to see if they will fit?… same tire size?…yep no issues there…same bolt pattern?…Yep good to go! Same Zilla tire I wanted? yep! Bought them right there!
They came within a couple days and looked great and couldn’t of been happier. Time to mount them up! This is when I realized the error in my calculations. Due to the new Rincon having independent rear suspension (about time honda!) and disc brakes in the rear the mounting depth of the rim was different! The Foreman’s is a lot more recessed than the Rincons. Therefore when they mounted up on the rear the tires were sucked in about 2 more inches than they should be. NOT GOING TO WORK
ADVICE NEEDED HERE
I now have two options the way I see it.
Option 1
I can take both sets of tires into the tire shop and have the new tires put on the stocks rims and sell the new 2015 Rincon rims…
Option 2
I can purchase some wheel spacers for the rear and that should make everything fit as it should right? I am thinking I need 2 inch ones.

Handlebar movement?
I noticed while riding Wednesday when I stood up that I could pull the handlebars straight up about 1/8" to 1/4".
Is this a normal amount of movement or should I be checking/replacing something in the steering?

Big Boss 400, 1995, 644 km, a collector item? Want exchange to Big Boss 800
Hi Big Boss fans!
My Polaris 400 Big Boss, 1995, has only done 644 kilometers as it has been situated on a small island and has only been used in transporting goods at low speed to the cottage, about 300 meters. There are some smaller faults like a broken choke handle and lights not working. My question is if this machine is a collector item? It is situated in southern Norway. Could someone indicate a price? I would like to change it into a newer Big Boss 800 and will consider a deal if you have one. My problem is that spare parts are getting harder to get hold of due to the age. But for a collector this shouldn’t be a problem? Just started it on first try after 4 weeks since last time. Very good and nice machine for the right collector! Put some love and work into it and you’ll have the nicest 1995 BB400 in world? It needs an enthousiast!!! I need a newer BB800 for another 20 years of slow work:)
I added a picture, here she is.
Best wishes, Chris
1992 Polaris Trail Boss 250 Disassembly
New to Forum! Have 1992 Polaris 250 Trail Boss, Model: W927527.
New to do top end, compression only 78psi. Wanted to remove body parts, ie. front fenders, but the oil tank has to come off before the fenders. Seems the oil tank is riveted to the frame. Is there a trick to removing the front fenders without drilled out the rivets? If not, whey would a manufacturer use rivets on parts requiring removal of the part or associated parts?
