rear rack

I have a 2014 sportsman and need a new rear rack plastic part #2635059-070 ( I think) I see one on ebay for a 2015 sp ext model part #2635719-070. Will this part not fit my 2014 ? Its a lot cheaper. And is there a cheaper place to look for the rear rack that I need? Im not want to pay $229 for it.

Model/year indentification

Need some help to pin down the year of my recently bought Kodiak Ultramatic 400, I can’t find any ID marks or a VIN number on it anywhere, the front end steel work has surface rust quite bad (ex farm bike), I have a few bits to buy to get ‘old Pete’ up and running, or more specifically, braking!
It has a solid rear axle and discs all around, the bloke I bought it from thinks it is a 2002 model but can’t confirm it, I am hoping you fella’s can.
I have called it ‘one eyed Pete’, I had to drive 500 miles to pick it up and then tow it home, one headlight has blown and gone black which is all could see in my rear vision mirror for 8 hours!

Replacement tires for 2012 Sportsman XP

I need to replace my tires, rear especially. They are 26×10-14. I am looking at the Bighorn and the Interco reptile. The bighorn only comes in a 26×11-14 but from what I’ve read i can go wider on the rear just not on the front. Looking for advice on going with the wider bighorn or the correct size in the reptiles? Any advice for front tires would be appreciated as well. Fronts are 26×8-14, bighorns only avalible in 26×9-14. Thank you

Looking for Dyno Tune in Tampa or in Florida

I’m going to be installing some MrRpm parts since I swamped my 650, developed a knock, and now doesn’t really want to crank. Will using their stock crank and rods and an 800cc big bore kit and maybe the cams if I can find someone that can tune it.

If I can’t locate anyone then I’m just going to put it back to stock even though I would like the added power. Seems like the parts would be the same money to go back stock vs. a BBK but I have to find someone that can tune it. I am very able for the rebuild but don’t really know much about the tuning aspect. Any suggestions are appreciated.

1991 Honda TRX300FW FourTrax 4×4 Front Shocks

Hi guys & gals,
I am looking to upgrade the front suspension on my 91 TRX300FW, but no one seems to make aftermarket spring/shock assemblies listed to fit. I recently replaced the rear shock with a progressive made for the 1993-00 and had to cut down the eyelets to get it to fit. I would like to avoid this for the fronts.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Can anyone recommend a setup that fits?

Thanks!
