SomethingFishy* Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Brush Guards I had Custom made, it is the only one like it so far, I suspect he will make a few more just like it and also with variances to suit each rider. I also had him put mounts in and cutout the expanded metal for the PIAA's before he shipped them. I bought the piaa lights. There is a factory wiring kit for the piaas so I used that and ordered an illuminated switch vs the round one it comes with.This new machine is so much better on fuel consumnption than the 08-800's. This thing has a light front end and will freely wheelie from 8-10 mph..... not that I recommend driving like that, I have witnessed it never experienced it first hand.

huntmup Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 The brushguard and piaa's look sweet. Keep talking and my 800 will be gone sooner then later . Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingFishy* Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Keep talking and my 800 will be gone sooner then later . Dan I don't recommend test driving one The Power steering is awesome, although it definetly took some getting used to, But after 150+ miles I wouldn't ride one without it. I can say at this time there is nothing about this machine that I do not like.... esxcept maybe how the rear brake lines are ran against the a-arm with no a-arm guards. But I will take care of that issue soon enough. I don't even like loading her 800 on the trailer anymore. She's trying to negotiate a deal on a new one right now. She might have a deal worked out on a non-eps. That's all on her though, my only contrubution will be driving the truck and trailer, or atleast riding with.

mozy Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 SomethingFishy, looks like an ATV-Guru brush gaurd?? Based on what I've read from rinconriders, you'll love that thing. Does the 850 keep cooled pretty well? My ol man's 800 gets hot after a few minutes of normal use, just wondering if they fixed it with the new machine. I think it has a larger radiator?

Yes they are customs out of the Guru workshop. So far it seems to cool just fine. Higher radiator, 20% bigger a, and a better angle to keep the crud out of it. Seems to get airflow from the front and sides just fine. She will get her first real workout on a nice long trip in Idaho in a few short weeks.
