Thanks HIGHOCTANE on the instructions! HAHA. I'll get that figured out but in the meantime click on the camera Icon to the left and I have the plow pics there.
Again, congrats on getting the XP!

I had the same problem Hemi, but I'm lookin at those pictures now...The bike looks awesome and again, good color choice!!
Please let us know how many miles you are getting to a full tank of fuel. At first I'm sure it will be rough, but after it breaks in it should be better.
Thanks,

Painted the "fangs" and trimmed the stock plastic to fit around the winch. What do y'all think? I know it looks ALOT better in person.
On a side note I took my 5 year old daughter for a ride yesterday. She has had many rides on the 800. It is telling when a 5 year can't stop grinning and says stuff like "my leg doesn't get hot on this one" and "It isn't shakey like the other one" and something to the effect it was alot more comfortable due to the narrower seat.
She loves to ride but would be ready to get off after 15 minutes or so,this time she said "we can ride as long as you want to" lol. I was ready to park before her.
On a side side note we jumped up a nice Buck about 50 yards into the trail,which is right in front of my house. Looked like an 8 pointer and had a nice size body for this area. We had been riding around the house for awhile before we hit the trail. They are so used to us they hang around that close. And of course all I could do was watch him bound away.

Nice idea trimming the stock plastic around the winch. I really like the way that looks. I think I'm gonna keep mine off and sell it on ebay about a year from now...these things are probably going to be a hot commodity after enough people ram sticks through them! Who am I kidding...they'll probably sell for $3 or something lol....

Hey, I like that! Good job! The dealer didn't give me that grill after they installed the winch for me. I'm going to have to go down there and get it from them!
I've going to have to get the front and rear brush guards ordered too!
Maybe for a little more radiator protection I'll put a piece of expanded metal on the front brush guard.
I'd also like to get the rear work light. Do any of you guy's know the part number for it?

It's been almost four long years since I've had an ATV so I'm getting very excited. Not to change the subject but how much was the brush guard? Again you machine looks really nice [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
