My point exactly... in my properly maintained ,sealed , drum my brakes are, or should be clean.Clean,DRY drum brakes do work quite well on Hondas. Much QUIETER than ANY Polaris on dusty trails.Cheaper to make (Hondas no dummy) and easier on customers pocket book.
IF disc are superior, why is it an area of Polaris owner Dissatisfaction in many owner surveys?

Watch out for those cliffs

 

Lurch, I have owned Polaris sleds, but I doubt that counts. I have several friends that own Polaris Quads though, and I have ridden them. My opinions are based on their experiance with Polaris brakes. Also I've been riding atv's since 84', all Hondas. Admittedly I am not a big time monster mudder, but I've been in my share of mud holes. Hey Lurch, have you ever been to lake Winnipesaukee, I went ice fishing there a few weeks ago, one of those 60 degree days. Anyway, by the end of the day there was a good foot of water and slush on the lake, it was over the Ranchers running boards. I thought for sure my brakes would be full of water. Guess what, not one drop came out of the drain holes at the end of the day. Now thats sealed!

 

I think he also bolted a Sportsman IRS on the back.

Don"t be so mean.. I was going to recruit him to the "lemmings" untill I read his last post!!
I think you might have frightened him severely ??

Just Havin" Fun... come back!!

 

I was out riding on my Batou 220 and my freinds Remington adition 500 polaris couldnt get stuck near as many times as me so there!

 

I was out riding on my Bayou 220 and my freinds Remington addition 500 polaris couldnt get stuck near as many times as me so there! Also I am glad they invented a winch.I am getting a Rancher es 4x4 so then we can do some real muddin!

 

heheh, didn't mean to scare him. Just wanted the instructions on how to add 7 inches of ground clearance to a quad. I was going to do it to my SP500! Probably a little tippy with almost 20 inches of Ground Clearance though! lol
