Default Ex-Mods for the XP

XP owners,

I was just curious to know what typical older Sportsman's mods are NO longer necessary
due to the new improvements with the XP model?

Examples:
1) 3-way Headlight Mod (All 3 lights on high)
2) Temp Gauge for the RAD (For common radiator overheats)
3) HD front springs (for sag/nose dive issues and steering)
4) Rear working light (on new models amazingly)
5) Reverse working light and/or Reverse override mod

Thanks,

R'

I have #1 #5 done to my 04 Sportsman and I just got done snorkeling my rad overflow bottle up to the headlight pod. Im looking for mods that I can to the older model. The temp gauge I dont think will fit my pod as I have the hand and thumb warmer buttons on both sides.

Yea I was hoping to get info from the XP owners out there (Where ya at?) who could identify that these common Sportsman's mods are NO longer needed in the improved XP?

Is it true and if so what are they? Feel free to add the list!

Cheers,

R'

#1 is correct XP's have a 3 high selection
#2 is just a idiot light no actual gauge
#3 Not so much HD spring but they all come with preload adjusters to help with the problem
#4 Only Browning LE's have clear rear work lights, regular XP's just have stop and tail
#5 No lights that can be manually turned on / same standard override (has rev limited until pressed)
