Just installed the front and rear rack extenders for mine.

Kinda thought the rear was a bit lacking in verasatility.

Heres the end result of stage one modification, as well as the front rack and "tool" holders installed.

The front bag doubles as a waist pack "glove box" and the rear bags are actually a 2 piece hunting pack that hold basic load management and extraction gear.

They all dismount fairly quickly and can be repurposed for other uses.

 

I end up riding solo a lot and try to keep on hand what I might need to get myself home just in case.

The upper rail on both ends is an OEM add on. The lower rail on the rear I welded in myself. makes for much better mounting options for gear as it overhangs the basic rack by about five inches.

I might add some light gauge expanded metal later.

I could have built them completely myself, but I couldn't quite make out "where" they attached and the material at the moment would have cost almost as much as buying them.

the rails do really make the rack much more usable, too.

adding the lower rail on the back was a definite positive . . its worked out really well.

Most of it is fairly "quick change" and IM working on a few more add ons to make the racks even more versatile.

      Looking for two stock front wheels for 92 TRX300 2WD.   I think they are 6 x11" size.

      I recently noticed my Fourtrax 2WD has 4WD wheels installed on the front.  The back spacing is significantly different than 2WD wheels and they are almost touching the strut springs and the tires actually do touch the springs..   So far, no luck locating 2WD wheels to correct this issue.

      Hi, I am new to this forum I am currently working on my 1989 Yamaha front end.  The cv axles were bad so I changed them on both sides with all new wheel bearings. Now I'm looking at the front brakes and the 2 cylinders for the brake shoes on both sides do not work at all. I am also new at working on brakes so its a mystery to me what needs to be done to fix the cylinders.  Can somebody please help me with these brake issues? See the image below.
      Thank you,

      Recently rebuilt front end on this Polaris 400. New axles, bearings, seals, control arm bushings, Hilliard clutch thoroughly cleaned and inspected with no damage noted. 
      Everything put back to together. Placed bike on jack stands all four wheels off the ground, started in 2 WD switched to AWD both front tires spinning, when AWD turned
      off right front wheel will not disengage from AWD. Checked voltage at connectors both left and right connectors have no voltage with AWD switch off, and both have 12.4V
      when AWD switch is turned on. Repeated turning switch on and off several times with no change in condition. I am thinking this must be something mechanical with the 
      Hilliard clutch on the right hub ie. weak spring or stuck rollers on the Hilliard clutch assembly (Is this a logical thought?) any ideas on trouble shooting this before I disassemble the 
      right front hub again
