I agree with Manny...hand guards and A arm guards may be needed if your gonna be in rough territory or deep woods but front and rear brush guards are an absolute must no matter where you ride.

As mentioned, what you "need" is totally dependant on how and where you ride!

If really rugged trails, better tires, Winch and undercarriage protection are good choices.

If your a trail rider, Radial tires, a wind screen and storage IE bags/Boxes are nice.

If your a mud rider, Clutch kits, bigger, aggressive tires, snorkels and A arm guards.

See what I mean?

Good luck,
CW
