Just added skid plates to my Vinson, not for sure if I like the looks of the front-end.

I definitely need a bumper/brush guard. A few weeks ago I was riding on a trail and we came up on a tree that had fallen over the trail. As I was riding through it trying to keep the branches off of me a spider got on my arm and latched on. I immediately took my hands off the handlebars to knock it off and roled right into a tree and cracked the front plastic piece. It isnt completely broke all the way through and its pretty hard to see unless your looking for it but it's still one of those things that bother you. I'll get some pics of my vinson in the daylight tomorrow, it rained all day today so I didnt go out much.

i really think that kimpex bumper adds to the appearance, and is not overkill on the bikes good looks imo. i havent ordered the other frount bash plate yet, because i noticed the ones you guys have block the winch, and i cant have that, i am going to get the factory suzuki aluminum one, after a clutch kit of course.

The vinson is my wifes quad and we have no intention of putting a winch on it. I believe you can order the ricochet for a winch set up. The 26" mudlites are an awesome tire for all around use, I dont know if it affected top speed, haven't had a need to go that fast
