I guess I'm gonna get some Ricochet A arm guards next. That ATVOutfitter seems to be the cheapest place. The Ricochet site wanted $77 s&h from Utah I think. ATVOutfitters $19. Even being on the East coast. But they didn't have part # 719A on thier site which is what I think I need. I just sent em an e-mail. I don't think I really need the complete kit, just A arm.

Mine was the only brand new one practically stock. A couple guys needed certification to go Oryx hunting next month and had to pay $100. I got the it for free and get $100 credit from Polaris toward purchases. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

The day is hear, Tuesday is the day I have sets to go get the new x2 or order it now because they sold the 700. Some one asked me yesterday is it really necessary to have a 2-up when most trails in most states let you ride a passenger on a one person atv. (I know this is a safteything) And we have done just fine on a one person atv for years. Here is my store. (You all have been a big help). I told them that I was getting a 2-up. I've been riding for years and now my wife rides with me more and more. Never thought to much about it because when we ride we just putt around and look at things. (I would like to ride some trails with her that require a 2-up). Her thing is big wide trails and little water just gaving a nice day. Done this for years. A few times every year us guy take the bosses with us, but it seems on more and more weekend she and they loves to go and I'm happy with that. We still get the guy days out but if they want to go then it means more ATV riding, More weekend doing riding and less doing the TO DO LIST. My daughter got married and is still in college and she riding around home on some trails here at the house. Her new husband always wants to go but no bike. So she asked me if I could help and they are good kids just starting out so I though hey a good chance to get a new/used 2nd atv and help out. I started looking at all ATVs and I like the x2. I have a 03 grizzly and love it. I thought about getting just another 1 person atv and doing what I've done for years. The $$$ would be better and could find a use one cheap. But to my understanding some places and some states require a 2-up but not all. I go to these campgrounds or trail heads and 99.9% of the people are doubling on a one person atv. Most dealers state they don't sell a lot of the 2-ups. What do you all see? What is your state requirement or trail requiements. Just checking all thoughts before I do this. Main thing is safety for my wife and daughter. The new bike will be rode 50% one person and 50% 2 person. I just want to be sure before I do it. Thanks for you input. I'm going to post this and the main site to.

Wrong again. I'm not even sure what it's called. But its the plastic cover on the left side. Looks pretty exposed towards the rear of it. I thought I read on another thread where ricochet didn't make a complete ubderside kit for the X2. I imagine that open space is going to have to be there for servicing. So something permanent probably won't work.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img] I might just e-mail ATV-Guru who I bought my bumpers from.
