Also we need to see how you attached the seat backrest...
I've got a few friends at the club that have handgun holsterss mounted on their rides similar to the way you did. Good idea to have it instantly available, I prefer to have mine on my hip so it tags along wherever I go!
Thanks TLC.


Alex,, its attached just like the original one. Trims upholstery in Camden down here by me, will put Stainless staples in it for $35 dollars. Call a couple of days ahead and you can wait on it. I sent the GF in with it took all of 15 minuets. Whole lot cheaper down here than it is up there around the city.

On the gun mount when I stick it on my side, i'll get a cowboy hat, pair of pointed toe boots and ride captain ride.

Either will work, just thinking ahead about limbs maybe catching it or it bouncing. Its protected by that side mount I made . Out of sight, out of mind.

Thanks for the info Luke... I wasn't looking for a place, I was just asking on your method. I'm not a fan of just slipping it over, and like your attack better.

Pointed boots hurt after 15minutes and cowboy hats catch too much wind. Everyone has their own method, I don't judge, I just observe!

HAHAH That pontoon is where the cowboy hat is worn, and you get use to the pointed toes. LOL
One thing about the 570s. I put it to the test Sunday. My three seater is supercharged so its not light. Backed it in, yanked it right up. I was impressed.

Friend rented an industrial sized wood chipper to get rid of brush on his NH property. There was a lot of it and we didn't finish until after sunset and the dew was coming down. It was down in a low area and his truck and my truck kept losing traction trying to get up the grass covered hill. Hooked it up to my Sportsman X2 500 and put it in low. Hauled it right up the hill without a thought. Took me a bit to come to a stop after getting it over the crest of the hill though.

Now this will be fun to see cause you avoid water/mud puddles... but dont forget the wheel/axle spacers..
