Default 04.5 Sportsman 500HO Front end mod: NEW springs!!!

Are you tired of that super soft front end on your late model 500HO Sportsman? Too much sag for you? Do you bottom out continuously? Do you experience "weird" handling in high speed corners?

With the addition of ITP wheels and 26" 589 tires... calculated lift: 1.25", actual measure lift: 2". Measurements take without a rider on board.
Cost: $30.00us per spring. Pretty cheap for the improvements you get!!! Highly recommended mod!! I have before and after pics on my gallery page...

Hi Bubs...

No new muffler here. That's the stocker that came with the unit.... I am, however, looking into retro-fitting a Pure Polaris 600/700 muffler to the 500....
