You are going head first down a mountain and realize that you might tumble over. You hit the brakes but every time you do it seems to buckle on you and you realize that you need to stop before your ATV gets messed up really bad. You start to panic.

You may not have been in this situation before but you may be in the future. Choosing the right combination of bumpers and side bars is the key ingredient to protecting your investment.

Bison bumpers are what you need to protect your ATV and your pockets. Damaging the plastic of your ATV can cost a lot more than our bumpers created to protect it.

Many Bison bumpers will fit 2012 models and when they don't we are made new ones to fit.

Check out the Bison products on www.atv-bumpers.com to find your ATV's protection.

I think what they mean is that they are not as flimsy as an OEM replacement. I have seen on a few quads OEM bumpers made out of light guage "exhaust" tubing and they last all about a year until you try and push over a tree.

Fit and finish are really important as well as where they transfer the load on the bumper to. A lot of the OEMs make the bumper so it absorbs the impact to protect your frame. I will hold any judgment until we see some of these with some real world use on them.

They cover the oem bumper. Not replace. Looks nice.

OK I am now on the hunt for some installation guides for some popular brands. My thought if the OEM is a weak design why fasten a stronger bumper to it.

Nothing against the bison bumpers they sure do look nice, I am just learning about this now. The Arctic Cats I have come with a bullet proof front bumper but the kawi needs a little something extra up front.

      I am unable to find a wiring diagram for this UTV.  When I turn the switch to on, the contractor does not engage.  The Brake pressure switch and the parking brake switches work correctly. What else should I be looking for?  All of the diagrams I have found are for newer models and the wire color coding is different.
       
      Thanks

      Just getting into this issue really. Been replacing solenoids but now I'd like to track down the problem. This time I'm not getting neutral/reverse lights or start button. Was on a creek ride when it started doing this recently. It cranks by arcing the solenoid and gives me no light or start button but if I crank with the pull cord....the neutral light and the button work. Turn it off and try to crank with the key and nothing. I'm looking into the safety switch issue tomorrow and re charging the battery. Just figured this was odd enough of a problem that you guys might be familiar. Thanks

      Hi guys, I was given a 2000 Honda Recon fourtrax 250 (I think that's the full name lol). The previous owner had it sitting for a while before I got it. It sat for another few years in my ownership. I got it up and going on its first test drive today!! I was wondering where everyone buys their parts from?  Coming from the car community, we have sites like RockAuto and many more. Anything like that for quads? Also would like to be pointed in a direction, if possible, for plastics. I am missing a few and would like to have it complete. I appreciate any input!
