Not anything I actually did. But my wife sent the last payment to the dealer. So now I'm trying to find the best way to ship it from Alabama to Washington State. But when it does get to my house,and I get home from fishing,I already have new wheels/tires in my garage,I'll be ordering the billet pinion cover and the GSE muffler here in a couple days,I'll be installing all that before I even ride it.

Well if the 2+ million pounds of cod that I need to catch will cooperate and bite my hooks,I should be home in about 26-28 days.

I'll be avoiding eye contact with it while I load up the Travel Trailer for a weekend without it. I can't stand seeing it pout.

My wife has been saying for a while that she would like to take a vacation that doesn't involve the atv's every once in a while. I keep asking what kind of vacation would that be? I couldn't imagine leaving the kids in the garage while I'm gone but I'm sure it will happen eventually.

I pulled a headlight out when I was riding last week through some really tall Johnson Grass, I just think the wire was hanging loose and the grass pulled it out. I ordered a set of the Polaris Xenon from Amazon and really like them. They are a shorter light bulb then what come from the factory but seem a lot brighter.

Lol I didn't even think about taking pictures of the lights in action. Will do. But I do have a picture of the handgaurds that are driving me crazy. As you can see they don't quite match in lining up, when you try and correct them it turns the throttle were I don't like it. As you can see it really doesn't protect to well for the throttle the way it's turned but the other one is just right.

The asymmetrical hand guards would bug the crap out of me. I blocked my pod with snorkels so I want to see how much more light you get with the Xenons. I never used the pod but I'm sure for one reason or another I will miss it anyway. Guess I need a light bar now.

Haha yeah I am the same way they just bug me and I can't seem to correct them. Anyone have any suggestions to fix them ? I will get some pics of the lights this weekend. I bought them for just $24.00 for the pair. My local Polaris dealer didn't even carry the Xenons in stock but like I said they seem brighter for me then the factory's , for 24 bucks it's not much money to try them out.

My 850 SP is the same way. Left side is mounted on top of the bars, right side is underneath.

That would seriously drive me nuts. What is the problem from left side to right side that causes that?
