Hello Boys /Girls
I own a 1999 big boss with ~ 2000 miles on it and was told pretty much by the dealer to scrap the atv because the part I’m looking for is discontinued,
So I called Polaris direct and they informed me that any machine over 10 years old may have discontinued parts and I should try places like this to find a used one.
Well I was also looking in to a new ATV but guess I’ll be looking in to that policy closer
Ok the part I need is call “ center tightner “ # 1380145 1999 polaris big boss 500cc
Anybody see one lying around?
Ken

Thanks guys It looks like I may have to plead with my son to get them to build me one on the CNC but I'm think this sucker will be made in STEEL.
Thanks guys..
