Default What the 700 needs FIRST!!

If anybody has been riding in the mud or on tight trails with their VForce, I think they will agree that the FIRST thing they need is this!! The Dual pipes, Jet Kits, Tires, etc. are all great, and I love hopping machines up as much as the next person, but I had a REAL close call going down a wet hill and almost rear ended a TRX90. The grab bar would have punched a nasty hole in that front grill and maybe the radiator. (I shudder to think A. How long it would take a new one to come in from Japan, and B. the Cost)

AC has already made that guard or at least a prototype. I've seen pictures of a 700 with one on it somewhere on the internet or in one of the magazines.

Ive got emails out to ProArmor, and AC. ProArmor did say they have prototypes out right now, and will email as soon as the product line is ready.... I am ready to jump on whatever looks good, and tough enough to protect that front end.. Im scared to death to punch a hole in that radiator.

PS, Dude, nice Scrambler, one similar was my first eye watering experience on a CVT ATV. Had a blast, and opened my mind to the Force.

IMS Roll has one that was featured in Dirtwheels, it looks great. I called them yesterday and the girl told me to call back in a couple weeks and they should have a part number.

You're telling the truth badittude! I am always telling my son that nose is a $600 repair bill waiting to happen and DON'T FOLLOW SO DANG CLOSE! I think the upswept raptor bumpers would look great.

New to this site, but old to playing in the dirt. Just picked up a orange 700 3 weeks ago, I too have been chasing any info. I can find on how to dial these things in. Pretty much why I'm here. I've got a set of 23 inch Skat Trak 12 inch 10 paddle edges on Douglas 12 X 8 that are supposed to bolt on ( wish I could've found something wider ) that are supposed to be in by next weekend, hopefully in time for snake hunt at Little Sahara. I know some are running 10 inchers out there, but that kinda hub-centric weird I.D., uncommon pattern wheel is more difficult than it needs to be. Anyway, if they fit without hitting the heel guards, I'll have a opinion next week. I talked to PRM today, they're sending their baja style front bumper and a 6-pak rack to me (again in time for the weekend), haven't seen any pics yet on the 700 - hope it looks halfway decent! They're supposed to have pretty much all the standard stuff available now.
