I got my windshield directly from Polaris when they had the 20% off deal and got it shipped for free. I've heard that the windshield will work with the handguards....I think Jeff (jefffoxsr) has the handguards and windshield on this machine....

I'll agree that Polaris shouldn't have used the name Lock N' Ride with these hand guards, since they don't come off without tools. The directions that came with my hand guards were kind of useless. It probably took me at least 20 minutes to put them on. I really like these hand guards though. The only reason I got them is to keep the wind off my hands in the winter, and they work really well for that. I got red to go with the color of my machine.

As far as the 20 minutes to put them on I could care less. When I work on my machine I usually take a lot of time, that's my time to get away from work, kids, and the wife. Turn the radio on crack open a beer and I'm good to go.

 

I don't mind spending the time to work on stuff it's just 20 minutes to install a set of hand guards is stretching it. I think the thing that upset me the most that they didn't just snap on/off like the windshields is that I wanted to be able to remove them when woods riding. but they are nice still and do keep the wind/water/mud etc off your hands while riding. the notch taken out of the guards I think was just for looks, they are alot nicer to look at than the old style smooth guards and cheaper too.

 

talk about a ripoff of the powermadd handgaurds because thats exactly what they look like same mounting hardware also
but I am very pleased with my powermadds there the bomb

 

It took me the same time to install mine as well-and where did you pay $25-on the purepolaris sit they cost $40!!!!!!!!!! Atleast thats what I paid!!!

 

My dealer sold them to me at their cost, it was like $23 and some change. they retail for $39

My dealer is awesome when it comes to stuff like that.
