Hey Fourlix,
What didn't you like about the green spring in your Sportsman? I'm thinking about changing my primary spring but don't know if I should go with the green or white. I use my Sportsman on the farm but really like to rip around on the trails. Not to mention riding a few wheelies too!

The green spring is too radical for a Sportsman. If you like the green spring, you probably shouldn't be on a Sportsman. You should be on a Scrambler. I ride aggressively, but get into tight slow stuff where I need low speed throtle control, not take off power. The white spring is a good compromise, more oomph when I want it, without loss of control.

Where did you get your stick stoppers & do they work well? I sometimes have weeds wrap around the front axles when driving through the cattle pastures and was kind of thinking maybe I should get something to help protect them better before a seal started leaking or a boot gets torn. Thanks

the stick stoppers are from savant manufacturing. I believe i bought them from cabella's for 45.00. i hit them with a hammer to see how tough they were and they did not bend at all. I know they have saved my cv joints many times. Pretty easy to install also.
