Very nice! Looks way better with the Ripsaws, too.

Note,,
If you guys are ordering rip saws get at least the 26s.
Put them side by side, the 25 rip saws are not as high as the stock 25s that came on the bike. Now she is higher than I am. LOL Noticed once you move from 26s to the 27s you also have to have the 14 inch rims .
Rides great.

Didn't get any pictures, will post some monday, pontoon cruising tomorrow, . Got a back rack like is on her bike didn't like the look on mine, cut it in half put it back together straight, got the fender flairs on today, couple more piddle things. You'll be safe this weekend.

I like the way you mounted the light bar! And the way the RipSaws look.
But irt you saying that 27's needed 14" rims? 27's will fit 12" rims just fine as long as you get the for 12" rims. My 27" Zillas work just fine on the stock 12's that came with my Cat. They do though give the tire much more sidewall.

Changed something. Ended up putting the light bar on the outside of the front basket. Where its going to stay for now till I bust the first one then i'm sure i'll moved it back inside or figure out a better mouse trap.

On the Polaris forum they were talking about using the back hitch and building a rack for storage. I had thought about that but also figured likes several said it will cause to back end to shift bad not to mention lighten up the front end a whole lot which I would not be fond of.
GF loves her drop rack for around the yard, but I decided to do something different and wanted more storage myself.

Instead of installing it like it came, I moved the front mount to the bottom so it would fit flush and I could mount some of the rack on the back bace instead of dropping it off behind it.
Kinda like my big rid, sliding the fifth wheel forward moving more weight to the rest of the bike instead of behind it. One thing about it, its solid as a rock mounted like I have it. . Using part of the body to displace the weight I don't think you can load anything in there , that would hurt performance.

I've been bouncing on e bay and have not see a set of 27s that won't for 14 rims. Not yet anyway.

It looks like the 27" and 28" Rip Saw RTs are only available for 14" rims. Rip Saw RT | Sedona Tire & Wheel

Ya,, right now till the warranty runs out I was told no 27s. Kinda wish I had of gone with the 26 now, but little to late to look back now.
Spent the day on the water but did have time to get persnickety a little bit when we came in.
Made a sun cover for the GPS.

If you do any riding at all in the woods Luke, you'll know what it feels like to get a face full of spider webs. Most of my riding is in the woods so this is what I came up with for my wheeler. If I ever get rid of the front mounted box, I have a set of springs to mount antenna's on to use for the arrows to mount them to the rack.

Would a single one do? Yours and my timing are about 1/4 a day off. Mounted the vhf antenna in the rear this morning but it can changed if you think its a better idea?
PS. If you could speed up this fantastic info it would sure save me a lot of install time.
Walked back out there and took a picture of it. Will post a few more tonight and the reason I mounted the rear basket the way I did. Has something to do with that little guy and the burn out.
