Default New SP700 owner hand gaurd problem

Just received yesterday and spent all day installing accessories.
04 Sportsman 700 in Mossy Oak
Winch
Brush Gaurd
Rear Double tube bumper
Gun Boot
Hand Gaurds

This is my first machine and I love it!!!!

The hand gaurds would not fit though with the winch toggle switch
Is there a better set of hand gaurds or some other fix.

Bob

(sorry, don't know anything about the hand guards- if you have the new-style, mini-toggle for the Warn2.5ci and 3.0ci, then i would think it would fit behind the guards. )

With the mini toggle switch, the hand guards will not fit. Had to cut out the top of the Left guard. However, I feel you loose some of the strength of the guard by doing this. Hope this helps.

I had to enlarge the hole where the screw goes into the 6-sided spacer and do some trimming here and there so it would fit.I ended up stripping-out the little screw so i found a little longer one with a small washer to cover up the enlarged hole. The hole for the brake resovoir sight-glass doesn't exactly line up but you can still see it. I'm guessing that you have the rocker switch on the L-bracket positioned so that the switch is at it's closest position you.

Thank for the help guys
With a little creative trimming I got it to fit pretty nice.
