Yamaha Glide Skid Plate Mod

Hey guys, I just got my 2015 Friday past as well as some of the accessories, one of which was the glide skid plate. I read a while ago the issues and concerns some of you had with screws pulling through etc…

Well I though of this a while and came up with a full aluminum skid plate to assist with the durability and additional backing for the attachment points, here are a few pics.

I got my local fab hope to make this up for around $100, whats your thoughts?

Any questions please let me know, thank ya!

FYI, I also ordered another mounting hardware kit to add a few more attachment points, just to play it safe!

Dang, how do I post pics…?

2010 Polaris Starter

Looks like I need a new starter for my 2010 Polaris 850 Touring ATV. Polaris wants $360 for a new one. Has anyone ever ordered/used a starter from DB Electrical. They claim to have one available for $99? Any other guidance will be appreciated. Thanks. Neal

Play in steering

My 2014 Honda foreman has a lot of play in the steering. When you turn the handle bars left to right while sitting still there is a gap where nothing is turning. When you’re riding at higher speeds it makes the atv hard to control. Any ideas on adjusting something or replacing something to fix this issue?

OMC Can-Am Air Box Seal Installed

Here is the comparison and installed pictures of the OMC Air Box Seal for all Gen 2 Can-Am’s. This is a great gasket and seals the air box up so its water proof. I had to use a 3/8 rachet and 18mm socket on the air box lid to get it locked on that’s how tight of a seal it makes.

No need to buy a fancy air box lid when all you need is a gasket.

On to the pictures:

For those in Canada get in touch with Blackie on the Canadian Mud Facebook group he will hook you up so you don’t have to order state side. For those in the states you can buy one directly from OMC.
