Just bought the polaris deluxe brushguard for my 07 Sportsman 800 deluxe. When going to do the install it looks like you need to take the radiator cover off and to do that the front end plastic needs to come off too. With the winch there it doesn't seem to want to come off. Does the winch need to come off too? Am I missing something and making this over complicated. If someone has done this before I could use the help. Thanks

 

I just took the rad side guards off(plastic) & the lower rad guard screen needs to come loose. (lower two screws). Perry

 

Did you leave the plastic off then? if not, what was your way of getting the 2 bottom bolts in that need the nylon nut on the inside?

I believe the lower rad guard screen can just be pulled off, Ya don't need to unscrew it. But put it back on afterwards. Till you get a radiator guard, that's all you got to protect it. The front end plastic can be pulled up at the top and lifted off also. That is if it's like an 06 500 X-2

 

I've had to take 2 screws out of the bottom and there is 2 more at the top that I can see. Not sure if it makes a difference between a model from US and one from Canada(mine).

 

I thought you had to unscrew the screws to get the gaurd off.......WRONG! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I learned you just have to pull and both gaurds pull right out, saves busted knuckels and you don't have to remove any body parts.

 

Thanks I will try it

 

All installed and good to go. Thanks reno 82 for the tip on the guard. took no time at all and way easier then first thought.

 

I am just about to install the Viper brush guard on my wife's machine...good info.
