i just got the rotopax 2gal x 2 gas packs, and got the 2 alum mounts. spent $128. gona make a mount out of alum so i can mount the mounts to the front rack. iv got it figured out so i wont have to drill holes in the rack. as i dont like to add more holes than needed. so if i ever have to remove it i wont have holes in the rack. ill take pics of it when i get it done. did i get them yet??? lol i want to work on it now.
i dont think iv ever spent this much time or money on any wheeler or car/truck iv had. but i enjoy every min of it....

well i finly figured out how to get the reverse lights to come on in reverse. woo hoo for me!!! now that i know how to do it. im thinking about comeing out with my own idea. in a smaller package. since theres kinda a space limit in the pod. but i can either turn my reverse lights on manualy. turn them off all together or have them come on in reverse.

i know im not a polaris guy but at one time i used to be... now i have a suzuki 500 vinson... i made a front brush guard out of 2" square tube steel... but i just finish adding dual fully functional 3" mitter cut chrome stacks... its all basically straight piped now so the thing has a harley like sound to it.. the stacks come up through the rear plastic and rack over top the rear tires... they stand about 20" tall above the back rack... looks pretty cool and turns some heads... if i know how to get pics on here i would put some up...

chainsaw mount on xp
Its not finished yet but it is looking promising. I made it out of 1 1/4 tubing and the chainsaw bar clamps are made of 1/4 inch plate. I stil have to glue on rubber to the clamps and weld up the ends of the tubing. I will be nice to have my saw and not take up any rack space.
