looking for some stick stoppers to protect the cv boots but cannot find a website with any listed for this year model. i know some of you guys have got to know a place to find them?

and the reason im looking for those is because i know have a torn boot. anybody know a source for these too?

 

bump.. sombodys gotta know a source for em

 

this is the company who makes them.

 

tried them. they dont have anything for the 500 HO version. the regular 500 is availble tho. i wonder what the difference is.

anybody have a source for cv boots? the dealer wants 45 bucks for a kit or 75 for them to install it.

 

Sportsman 500-500HO and 500 EFI ARE ALL THE SAME 2005-2009 MODEL YEARS..

 

not according to polaris part numbers. the 2009 500's started using a different cv boot. appearantly polaris uses them also on a 2008 ranger but nobody has any aftermarket boots for them that i can find.

 

The stick stoppers should work as I believe all suspension is the same but you can verify by cross-referencing part numers. Which boot did you tear? Front. Rear, Inner, Outer? While the boot may have changed, are the joints different? If not then you should be able to use the EFI boot on the HO.

Personally, I won't try aftermarket boots again. I tried 3 different ones and they did not fit as securely as the OEM. Considering the cost of a Cv joint and the labor to change a boot, I felt it was money well spent to buy the OEM.

i thought you wanted stick stoppers and not boots? the frame work is the same so it should work. polaris might have used a heavier or lighter boot so that would be the differnt pn#

The A arms the Stick stopper mount to are all the same for the 500s H.O or EFI 2004 was the first year for square tubing (was round) for the rear A arms.

So 2004-2009 will use the same stick stoppers.

 

if i remember right my 06' 450 was the same my 06' 800 for the front. i beleave the rear was differnt though. too long ago to remember lol.
