I am not a fan of the white carbon fiber look mine was well weathered from the previous owner. I was going to use good automotive paint the same we are going to use on my truck. But was just talk into using rattle can highgloss black that tutch up is easy. Only took 1 1/2 cans

Turned out just fine to run around on the trails with. Granted the whole project is all focused on a tight budget build. Just to prove don't have to spend alot of money to look decent. Definitely not going to go to a car. Lol

I also made new lenses for the original led front light. One was missing a lens . I made 2 new out of plexiglas so they match.i know you can see the electronics but they match and still are bright.

I also replaced original seat with some from Jeg's for $69.95 each with covers. The padding isn't very much there. They do offer a extra added padding separate. I didn't get . I'll find something to use add more padding. They have side support so now I will not slide side to side on hills. They lay back more and are very comfortable. Well I think so. Longer bottom support for legs. They are 20"wide 2"wider than stock mounts on the stock mounting platform  just had to elongate the original 4 bolt holes. I didn't use the sliders. 20210412_112824.thumb.jpg.dcdac96672a3b1ffdc377eb0b45bd06f.jpg20210412_113223.thumb.jpg.6532e6336cc5a69f2bb1af9084108bf5.jpg20210412_112100.thumb.jpg.57220eca516bb7dc0e46cd21c85a6c60.jpg

It didn't have a grille in her anymore when I got it. I thought I would try something with a different look. I used a piece of gutter screen I had laying around. And used some chrome stick on tape to make a outside grille shell. Just to see if we like it. Before I I machine a buillit aluminum one out and polish it.20210428_203729.thumb.jpg.9d90fdf099ddf6c3c4075b023d3a58a0.jpg20210426_194231.thumb.jpg.3e84bb0076783a45f26c9d6a32d0fe06.jpg20210426_125535.thumb.jpg.d94d120a5a7953419341b51ab2d1b68e.jpg

Made some lower rubber flares a couple odes dealers would never get the original ones in. So I gave up and just made some out of some conveyor belt scrapper material. Working out nicely rubbing up against rocks and trees on the trails been holding up great. And sure keep alot of the mud off the sides and off me.

And put a stainless coolant catch can on.

      Hope I posted this in the right place. Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for an 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work. I need the old style two bearing with the spacer in the middle, the new style with just the one wide bearing wont work. If anybody has one I'll buy it right away. my email is [email protected]

      I just purchased a Massimo MSU500 and no manual came with it so I have some questions. looking for part #'s and availability of basics like spark plug air and fuel filter. What is the valve adjustment specifications? 
        Is there a fuel drain? It's been sitting, low mileage but I want to drain out the old fuel and put fresh.

      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      We just bought our 1st side-by-side and wanted to get tips on maintenance items we should address immediately for our 2015 Arctic Cat Wildcat Sport 700 XT.  We are truly beginners and welcome any and all suggestions.  Thank you, we appreciate your help!

      Bought my 2009 Yamaha Rhino, (fuel injected of course), recently from the original owner. Only had 500 miles and 70hrs. Starts reliably, however, it will not idle but about 50% of the time. Also, when driving slow in low or high, that is to say, relatively low rpms and below about 10 mph, it bucks and almost wants to die..... not smooth at all. However, at speed (say 12-15 mph or more) it runs very well, like it should. Any ideas?
