I am wanting to get a few ideas for mine. I just purchased a Special Edition Rhino and wanted to add a few things to it. Any ideas out there that you have made yourself or cool products out there. I have seen most of the accessories out there are way expensive!!

Recently added a Pro-Circuit exhaust, K&N filter & jet kit. Made a good 20% power increase. I know others that went with different brands but they don't seem to work near as well the Pro-Circuit.
Also added a heavy duty spinner **** or "suicide ****" to the steering wheel. Much easier to steer with one hand. Performance camshaft & tires are next. Anyone have any experience with Goodyear's tires? Rawhide?

I will be creating some graphics out of black and chrome vinyl I purchased for stickers. I told the wife I'd dress up our new LE a bit.

Thats cool, where did you get the vinyl? I have a sticker machine too and make alot of different stuff for friends/family. Just a hobby but its pretty cool.

Just got me rear seats and roll cage installed, FMF exhaust, jet and air filter(havent put them on yet). Installed me a nice clean sounding stereo in it as well. Neighbors can hear me coming down the street!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

RaptorOwner,
which model of FMF exhaust do you have on your Rhino? Just wondering, because I have an FMF Q2 exhaust on my YFZ and it is one of the best quality aftermarket exhaust I have ever seen. I didn't know that FMF made an exhaust for a Rhino.

And as far as mods to my 2006 Rhino thus far:

I have switched to Maxxis Max-Lite eight spoke wheels (the lightest wheels made for a 4x4 ATV), and 27" XTR tires (not the lightest tires made [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]). The tires and wheels are great, super smooth riding, with lots more traction than stock.

I have also installed a stock bore wiseco 11:1 piston, a HotCams Mudbuster cam, a K&N air filter, and a BRP CDI. The piston and cam are a fantastic mod, and together they feel like they provide at least double the performance increase that I have ever felt from an aftermarket exhaust. And they are cheap as well; plan on $150 for the piston, another $150 for the cam, $30 for a gasket set, and $50 to have your cylinder honed (if needed). This Rhino has some serous grunt, and it still has the quiet stock exhaust so the piston and cam are a real sleeper mod. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Sorry for the mis informed- I have the HMF exhaust for my Rhino(I havent installed yet) and have purchased the FMF for my DR650.

I dont know about speeding this thing up (That is what I have the drag raptor for) cuz I dont want to do a crazy roll over like I have done with my quads, this is just mainly a cruiser for me and the family. My daughter all ready got it up on its two right side wheels making a sharp left turn around a corner, I thought for sure it was going over and she didnt even know it did that!! That is the scarry part, She is not to go over 25 mph on it as of right now!! I was thinking of getting the wheel spacers for that same reason.

Has anyone purchased and installed the wheel spacers yet?

True dat! And that is why I love the piston & cam mod so much. The Rhino is still quiet because I did not need a loud aftermarket exhaust to gain power, and because of that it is still real pleasant to cruise around in. Yet with the torque cam and higher compression piston it will turn over the big tires much much easier at low RPM. It feels like I bumped up the power and installed a clutch kit at the same time, and I didn't even touch the clutch. Or maybe it just feels like I went back to the 25" tires, when I didn't. Anyway, I'm real happy with it.

If I want to go fast I ride my YFZ 450, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]. I even earned the number three plate for desert racing in our district last year. But if I want to go real fast I ride the Katoom [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. Now if I could just convince the wife that I need that Kawasaki ZX 14 ...
