adding sides to tilt trailer,

hey guys hows it going, in my search for a trailer to haul both my bikes i ruled out getting a tilting flat deck utility trailer because i dont like the idea of not having sides……. well wouldn’t you know i found a deal to good to pass up on a mint flat deck utility trailer, has anyone ever attempted to add side walls to one of these ? does anyone else use one for your atv? how do you like it?

570 Prices are coming down, finally….

Holy cow, Abernathy’s has base model 570’s for $4600- and EPS 570’s for $5600. Wish I could find that price out west…..

I thought I saw a Mfg rebate of $1000 on one website; has anyone seen that too?

Dealers must be getting pressure to gear up for 2017 models, but there aren’t too many (2016) bikes in stock where I live.

Ground Clearance

My new 2016 Sporstman Touring 850 SP has about 8" of ground clearance under the plate where the oil filter is. Is that normal? I am new to ATVs, well I have been around them and rode snowmobiles and dirt bikes my whole life, but this is the first ATV I have owned myself. I thought these newer machines had a lot better ground clearance than in the old days. And it does in the front and back. But in the middle, not so great…I was kind of surprised when I started dragging so easily. Normal? The specs list 11.25".
