BACK TO THE POPO

i need to figure out how to snorkel it, and i need to find out about clutch kits?, gear reduction?, lockers?, and axles.

i know i need one front axle for it. just wondering weather i should just get the original style replacement or just go ahead and upgrade to beefy ones?

What about about Super Atv's 2" lift. I've been looking at them and i've seen mixed reviews about em but most have been good. just seeing what you folks think about em that have one installed.

I've got my eye on the GBC Gator 27" Bigfoot Kit on 12 inch STI HD2 Wheels from atv direct. i had gators on the recon and they did great and the price wasnt bad at all.


so umm, yeah. that's all i got for now.

questions, comments, concerns?
please type below in the white box.

Welcome Blake, Hope you still have another bike hid.You do know that with the popo you will need to tidy up a bit and cut them wire tie ends. Enjoy the new ride.

alright so my bike decided to be stubborn and not start. took it to the shop. turns out 3 of the 4 pilot jets were clogged and 2 of the 4 main jets were clogged. plus the points were shot. so looked like i'm going to have to wait a little longer for the polaris. gotta order a new set of points and a condenser. so hopefully next weekend!
