Plate saver

Just got this in the mail today. My license plate on my new trailer has been taking a beating. And backing over a berm in my yard every time, the plate digs into the ground and is ripping my lawn apart. This product should fix the problem. Looks like good quality.

Tric Led Halo’s

Just figured I’d post my opinion about these. I know that there are tons of posts but thought I’d give my two cents anyways..

Nothing but good stuff to say about these guys. Shipping was reasonably quick especially considering I’m from Canada and they ship from the states. Product looks and performs insanely good and are the easiest thing ever to install. I’m definitely recommending for anyone who wants to make their quad stand out:th_smiliethumbsup:
The only thing I had trouble with was the tape didn’t seem to wanna stick too well to my light fixture so I ended up using silicone instead.

Took me less then 2 hours to install..

Topo maps of atv trails

Does anyone know where I can find free topo maps of the jericho and ride the wilds atv trails in new Hampshire. My goal is to load them on to my garmin 62st so that I can see the trails and exactly where I am on those trails. Thanks for any help

info in other thread

Without trying to stir the pot on the whole skid plate thread thing, somebody told me to re route a vent line in one of the pictures. If whoever gave me that advice could tell me what to do with it, I’d appreciate it. I believe they were talking about the one in this picture. That is where it was ziptied to the frame from when I picked it up. Thanks again.

How to get at starter???

Guys,

I have a 2007 Sportsman 500 EFI that appears to have a bad starter. Battery is new and charged. Solenoid is working. Voltage drop across the solenoid is not much.

Rear clip is removed.

Not obvious to me how to get at the starter. Something has to be gotten out of the way.

What is the procedure for getting at the starter … PLEASE give me some guidance!

Thank you …

Mike

Fox Shocks / Highlifter Lift

Ok guys, I am looking to upgrade shocks on my 2015 xmr 800, and am interested in the fox shocks listed in the can am accessory catalog. I have seen various threads about these shocks, and how many have upgraded to them after the factory ones failed. Xmargh even had a recent thread about swapping factory outlander springs to these after the springs that come on them, (xxc renegade springs if memory serves) began to fatigue over time. This was my intent, buy the fox replacements from can am and swap my springs over. When looking in the 2017 catalog, the fitment description specifically excludes the 800 xmr. Ironically, the same day I was looking at shocks, I was also looking at highlifter signature series bracket lifts. They too specifically exclude the 2015 800 xmr. I called Highlifter, and the answer I got was that they’re having trouble keeping up with all the variations in can am suspension components, and the issue with that specific lift had to do with shock eyelet diameter variations between outlander models. I also called a reputable can am dealer and asked why the 2017 catalog exempts the xmr 800 from their fitment list, when the 2015 catalog did not (the 2015 catalog is still available online). The dealer I called has yet to find an answer. I know I am cramming a lot of info into one thread, but I have two questions. Anyone have any idea why can am would now not recommend the fox replacements for the xmr 800? Is anyone out there running the Highlifter 2 inch signature series bracket lift, and if so, were there any figment issues?
