Welcome to the forums and congrats on the X2 LE. If you get stupid like I do and have a drunk following you need front and rear bumpers. [IMG][/IMG]







P.S. a 500 EFI will push a 335 backwards pretty easy when you mash the throttle. [IMG][/IMG]</end quote></div>



I got the front one, should be safe from drunks from behind [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0[/IMG]</end quote></div>

Your gonna want the rear one too, seems to me people never pay attention and someone always gets rammed once in a while, and when your rear fenders get busted, you would have wished you got the rear bumper. My 07' had 75 miles on it when I got nailed, got hit fairly hard, but it barely made a nick on the bumper, would have broke my right quarter fender all to hell if I didn't have the bumper.

Just so you know, those will void your warranty, especially the temp gauge. Unless you can dealer to install it and promise not to stab you in the back when something happens to the wheeler.

Get the front rack extension. It's nice to hold soft sided or structured bags on. I also got the Polaris bed mat. Very thick. Almost 1/2". It's great for protecting the bed when you are 1 up and using it for firewood, gravel, etc. The winch will come in handy when pulling out other's quads stuck in the mud.

Wow, sounds like you are having your day in the candy shop Bro.!
I echo the others, have FUN man and enjoy your purchase. As you
well know you can go crazy on the options and accessories.

I like you am a hunter. I bought the Lock&Ride Gun scabbared. Great purchase!
It holds my 30-06 with scope with no problem, snug fit. Some say you can fit two
rifles in them, I can't see where you can, maybe there are other types out there
(Kolpin products) but I used it too for black powder (Traditions rifle w\scope).

Hand guards may not be a bad idea if you go through tight trails with branchs. vines
and some briar patches, I learned the hard way when my knuckels and backhand
got snagged a few. FYI, I didn't get much out of my "Stealth Exhaust" so I sold it.
I recommend having at least one end handlebar mirror, it really helps!

Cheers,

R'

congrats on the purchase, and on joining this forum. The knowlage of these guys in here is amazing. If you have a problem, just ask and someone can and WILL help. This is a great community and I am really glad I joined. So far they have saved me at least 300-500 dollars in repair bills because I found the info to do it myself. Have fun and be safe.

I have a Stealth exhaust on my 700 and for the little bit it quieted it down is was not worth the cash. Might go with the handguards. I mainly see the Kolpin ones how are they?

Not sure about the Kolpins, but really that is what the boot is if you order the Lock&Ride
gun scabbard from Polaris. Its a Kolpin boot with their L&R accessory attached.

Picked it up tonight, only got about 20 minutes on it but they have came a long wasy since my 02 700. Much nicer ride, smoother clutching and more creature comforts.
I really like the Warn Winch set up. The wireless remote rocks, and the synthetic rope is much easier to work with then the cable.
