Yes this is meant for our Polaris machines! What fixes, what
rigs, what innovations have you come up with to make your
accessories fit better, accomodate a 3rd party product etc. etc.

Such as, trying to fit ammo boxes or Igloo coolers to your
rear cargo rack! (All you G.A.S and JF, LOL)

FYI, I think I just skipped out on some of these, I have a
Lock&Ride Rear cargo on its way (Merry Christmas to me, LOL) --Sorry
for the cheat, no wait a minute, you cheated!

Regards,

R'

so instead of spacers i just turned the rims around
gave it a nice wide look and the valve stem just clears the calipers

oh when you said ammo box, that gave me a thought.

my trailblazer, when i first bought it, it had an ammo box welded on the front of the frame, like sitting on the inside. like where a winch would be.

it was pretty redneck.

Besides my ammo boxes, when I am hitting the mud I bring a pump pesticide sprayer to clean my rad.

G.A.S. - novel idea. How well does the pump pesticide sprayer do cleaning the rad on the trail?

It does an alright job. Have to make sure the nozel is set to a jet and not a spray and make sure you pump the hell out of it to get enough pressure. Doesn't clean it real good but enough to keep the machine cool.

Thanks G.A.S. Yeah, I wouldn't expect a thorough cleaning - but enough to keep air flow on a ride would be good.

Stendori has a nice trail washer - but I think those are quite expensive to make or buy. I know - I know - what's would it be worth if you are on a trail and your machine is overheating. But if the pump sprayer does an adequate job, why not.

I used an entire tube of jb weld to fix a hole in the recoil cover...a big hole. I also painted my my factory green magnum with brown, black and tan spray paint through come cardboard stencils to make a cheap camo. it looks better than when I started (a used quad).
