Default Difference in Early/Late 2009 xp850 Builds?

Anyone know the list of changes Polaris made to the new XP's Pre March 2009 and After? I know they braced the lower A arms after March, anyone know of anything else they changed?

I'm thinking the welds in the bottom of the a-arms might be different. I'll need to take some pictures of mine and verify against a March / April build.

What are the new XP accessories? Can you use the older style sportsman lock and ride Gun scabbards? If not how about the boot part?

Regards,

Plastic boot is the same. Metal bracket is different. The bracket can be configured to be used on either the left or right side.

You can dechipher most of the changes by looking at the parts fiche. A-arms(actually from what I have seen the new ones don't have the brace,the old ones do..mine was built in Oct and has braces),ball joints, iron block(not associated with a date,but from what I have seen all the older ones are Nicasil,not sure if they are all iron now or it is a mix) Water pump coupler,rear gear case,tranny(very early change),tranny mount those are the big ones I remember seeing. I haven't looked in awhile
