installing polaris track system

I have a set of pro tracks that came with my quad, I also have the manual but it does not give any good veiws or descriptions on attaching the mounting plates to the atv. Any good pics of how to install the mounting plates would be awsome, or if anyone knows of a good site to find the info needed.

Thanks got them on, alittle trial and effort trying to get them adjusted. Hard to steer but when I loosen the front up to hard to keep stable. Whats your thoughts on how they should handle? Just so I can compare and make sure I,ve got them where they should be.

Glad to hear you've got them on alright.... And yes things are a bit finicky when adjusting the front tracks.... I had mine on an 08 like yours and every thing went well... now I have a 09 XP with the power steering to about a day to get it perfect.... My test for the steering tracks is I should be able to drive 50 mi/h and and have no handling issues...

Note though.... check you A arm bushings on my XP the bushings were wore a bit and cased a handling issue

I 've done many other upgrades to the track system... one I notice you have not done is the small boogie wheels should have a big cup washer on the out side... as well all my Smaller Boogie wheels I changed to aluminum they are stronger and can't flex.... I've lost many of those plastic wheels, and at 70$ a piece got expensive. I have used the tracks for 3 years since doing the up grade and bent one aluminum boogie and that it.
