Polaris Branded Accessories...
So is it just me or are polaris add-ons almost the SAME price EVERYWHERE?!?!?!
Even used on eBay the front rack extenders go within $5-$10 of buying them NEW
I take it Polaris doesn't give the dealers much discount on their add-ons like this and even resell comands a pretty high price

Yup..I've noticed that as well. I'm assuming that the only way to do that is, the stuff doesn't have a huge mark up, because Polaris charges alot at wholesale.

Ordered my front rack extender from ebay svaed about $10.
Now I need a radiator "guard" (if that's what you call them) replacement. My two bottom screws popped out.
Oh, and did I mention my fan shroud must have been "bumped" because the fan hits the shroud (that's build ON TO IT, so it didnt MOVE) and makes a TERRIBLE scraping sound
Oh, and ANOTHER bushing is 50% cracked through, and yes they are installed how they should be

The two screws popped out or you broke the two heads off the bolts?
If you broke the heads off you must of hit hard
These guys will have new guards. http://www.precision-aircraft.net/parts.htm

The plastic on the back of the screws "ripped" it looks like... I hit the metal under the guard and just caught this wimpy guard a very little bit, it's not realy destroyed just hit it enough to pop the plastic out of the holes.MrBill wrote:Looks like we have a rider that rides as hard as KenToddW wrote:Ordered my front rack extender from ebay svaed about $10.

Luckily I was only going ~8mph or I would have been over the handle bars, I hit a tree stump under the snow
I'm not to worried about the guard, I will replace w/ a new one and eventualy get a better guard/bumper in that area... what I really needt o figure out is the damn fan and shroud making that awful sound!!!

I like to get my parts and pieces from Bill at Adrenaline (the poo deraler on sunrise) He is a really good guy and I would rather pay a few extra bucks and keep him in buisness then save a few and have him go out of buisness. And not be there when I need him. He also does alot of banshee stuff. Has a dyno too, and won't let you spend money on something you don't need.

The punk that was in there when I went in was less than helpful and I'm never going back or spending a penny there.ontherks wrote:I like to get my parts and pieces from Bill at Adrenaline (the poo deraler on sunrise) He is a really good guy and I would rather pay a few extra bucks and keep him in buisness then save a few and have him go out of buisness.

If I want to buy from a "store" I'll be doing it from Auburn Powersports (I believe that's their name) as they were MORE than helpful with every question I had regarding my purchase as well as equipment.
Sorry, but I like to save $10 where I can... it lets me continue to enjoy the hobbys I do.

LOL...
I wouldn't spend a penny in Auburn powersports....The owner is an arrogant pompous piece of shit. Ask Dusty..
Bill, the owner of Adrenaline is an AWESOME guy....I had my quad out one time with an electrical problem...I needed it for friend flying in for a ride...Bill drove to 4 different autopart stores looking for circuit breaker that had rusted on my mine.
And I will gladly hand over an extra 10 bucks to someone who is going HELP me with my hobby....when I need it.

Auburn
Screwed up Dusty's tire order, Disrespected me and my equipment by walking right up to MY ATV and taking off my seat to get manual without asking me...fawk YOU....and the best...Steve taking his Polaris for an oil change and they cut the wire to his 4x4, which we had to spend 2 hours fixing at Dusy-Ershim trail...6 hours from home.
I wouldn't let him fix my salad.

I WOULDN'T LET THEM TOSS MY SALAD.

If you can find a dealer that sells parts at MSRP it's good. Most dealers try and get at least 10 percent over MSRP.

Actually Aurburn Powersports sold out and Apex bought them. The old owner is Jeff, I don't care much for them, I bought my sled from them and he rasied the price $100 after talking on the phone to him. Sled cost $100 more then my uncles did a year before and I got a 1 year warrenty and he got a 2 and mine was last years model.
As for service at Bill's. He is very busy, but when he will go down on a saturday night at 10 PM to get me parts and the ones he does not have in stock offers to take them off his personal sled, can't be beat.
If I had the money I would buy a new 800 and a new sled from him today, and at full price.

Interesting...so Auburn was sold to someone else.
I was REALLY PISSED when a stranger walked over to my quad, took off the seat and opened the storage without asking. This was Sept 2005.
