Welcome! All I can tell you it is a 05 or newer as that was the first year for EFI on a Polaris.

I'm trying to order new plastics, front and rear cabs and in trying to do this on some of the parts the site asks if it was built before or after like 7-28 of 04, so i wasn't sure how to order them.

Greetings! Seems to me that manufacturers start building quads for the next year in the mid-fall. My guess is that your quad was built sometime in late 04 or early to mid 05

Spitsfire, ask your question in the Polaris section if you haven't already. And, welcome to the forums.
