thanks I'll take a look.. btw.. the trailtech I had on there is shot! almost broke in half hehhehe... I was also wondering if you vforce owners had any ideas on how to fix the following... there are bars under the front fenders that attach to the fenders, the plastic attaching clip is broken.. is there anyway to "weld" that plastic clip back together? that happened when I was trying to turn the quad back over, the fenders have to give alot to right the quad [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Those fender supports really don't do much. I broke mine as well, but if you want to put them back I would suggest trying to fix the hole with GOOP. It is kinda like plastic in a bottle and you can use it to bond parts back together. It also drys clear so is not an eye soar. I use the GOOP for Marine use.

Also I just got my trail tech bars on with the billet dash mount and it all looks totally awesome. The quality is very nice.

thanks brewster.. will have to try the goop, I agree the supports don't look like they do much but, my wife was ribbing me about atleast getting 1 payment made before I tear it up hehhehe.
I actually broke the supports when I was trying to roll the quad over from upside down, the fenders just can't "give" enough with those supports there.. and yeah I'm going to get the bars and clamp from trail tech soon.

thanks ya'll

Vforcerider, I'm installing the Trail Tech bars as we speak. I have a brand new set of stock bars that I'm taking off my V. If you want them, I'll send them to you, as long as you use them, let me know. I wouldn't get much for them anyway on E-Bay and if I can help, it would be worth sending, Later, Putt

Hey Putt, hope you had a happy birthday :-)

I got my trail tech bars and billet mount on the V Friday and love them. I also added a Shindy Tachometer and it velcros nicely across the KFX700 logo on the billet mount. The whole set up all turned out much nicer than I expected, the only problem I now have to fix is getting some decent grips. I got some popular cheapos and had them torn to pieces after our 32 mile trail ride yesterday.

It's bedtime for the brewster...my body is still crying after that trail ride...gotta get some beauty rest now.................night all :-)

Brewster,whats happening buddy, thx for the hello.
As I shared with you before, my family took me to the Giants game on my birthday. Me and Barry Bonds have the same birthday so any of you that follow the Giants knows what he did on his birthday, awesome [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
As far as the grips, I've alway's used the Scott's ATV grip. I like them and as you all know, the grips that come stock on the V might as well be wrapped with sandpaper, blister city, ouch! Have a great week Brewster, you all for that matter, Good night, Putt
