Just want to try and get a survey of how everyone feels about there HO. If your happy with it's performance, what kind of problems you've had, etc.

I'm a happy owner of an RSE with a 100 miles on it. Don't ever get that much of a chance to ride except for hunting season, primarily bow season. There are no complaints here. Except for the weird feeling I get comming down a step hill, feels like I'm going to flip!! Way different from the low ride of my 500 Scram.

2 thumb's up for the DUSE.
The only problem I had,could very well have been selfinflicted.Granted it only has 500 miles,so next year I might be BITCHING up a storm

I bought my H.O. in Oct. and now have 1000 miles on it without riding in the summer yet. I had a 00 Kodiak, really unhappy with that bike so I upgraded. The front struts went out on the H.O. at 300mi. or so. My shift indicator lights have been working only part time, If I can keep from riding it for a few days, I'll bring it to get the switch replaced. Also the ground cable from the motor to the frame broke. I made up a new one myself an inch longer, we'll see how it holds up. I will never own anything without IRS ever again. I love the bike all the way around, the ride, power, and headlights are top notch. Excellent machine.

I've had mine since oct. also and have had one problem with the shifter being tough to engage every now and then,other than that I love my HO.Also its had the big tires on it since the first weekend I had it,still no problems,a small loss of power.

If you have a small driveway get the 48" blade or the funnel shaped one.Or if you really want to justify it I'm sure you have neibors who could really use your help.heheheh.
Being from mn I would think the funnel shaped one would be better,because it throws the snow.My uncle says he has 30+inches on the ground still,(white bear lake).
Also get the SP Deluxe frame,the otherone takes @2inches off ground clearance,unless you want to take the mounting plate off every spring
