Talking New 550 XP EPS, New member introduction
Hey guys,
My name is Pete and my dad and I just picked up a brand new Sportsman 550 XP EPS.

Absolutely love everything about her, power, suspension, ergonomics.

I have the polaris aluminum a arm guards for the front and rear ordered.


Also have the extreme rear brush guard coming.

Need to save up for a front guard.

Picture don't show it but I took off all the warning stickers.


Any mods, hints, tips for a new sportsman owner would be great.

Thanks Moose,
I have yet to find any sort of product reviews for the polaris brand alum A-Arm guards.

I got a pretty good deal on them, hope there not garbage.

Consider new tires. Stockers are ok on dry trails but fail miserabley in snow or minor muddy trails.
