What’s going on everyone. Just picked up another gen 1 renegade today. It’s a 2009 800r x model. Sold my 2010 800 renegade a long time ago and finally found another one to my specs. Found this bike as a dirt racer pit bike. Total engine hrs is 2hr 45min. At 93 miles. Mods to come soon.

I picked up a 2-up seat from a 2013 Can Am off of Craigslist, I was hoping that there would be a way to make it work on my 570, but with the rack being so much higher than the seat there was no way I could attach it without making it so high it would screw with the the CG and make it really unsafe to ride. In fact the guy I bought it from bought it with the same idea in mind. I really couldn't pass the seat up for the price, $60, I figured for that price I could try to retro-fit it to my Honda and if that didn't work I would just re-list it and get my money back out of it. My Honda Rancher has a rear rack that is actually lower that the main seat so I let myself mull the idea over for a while before actually diving in and spending the money on the steel. But it didn't take long for me to come up with an idea that would make the seat function just as if it was snapping onto a 2-up Can Am.

I made a bar that slips over the front of the Honda rack and locks into place with hitch pins so that I can remove it if there is only going to be one rider using the machine. Then on the back side of the rack I welded some 3/4" pipe that not only supports the seat but centers it in the middle of the rack. On the front of the 3/4" pipe I welded a solid 3/8" rod to receive the rear locking mechanism of the seat, it hooks into the bar on the front of the rack and snaps onto the 3/8" rod in less than 10 seconds and is removed in less than two seconds, and is as solid as if were attached to a Can Am, it is also one of the most comfortable ATV seats I've ever sat or ridden on. Wish we could've found a 2-up Can Am in our price range that didn't have a ton of miles on it but did find the 570 that was virtually new, I'll keep thinking and will probably come up with something for it as well. It has a nice long seat on it, in fact it is almost 6" longer than our Rancher seat so I've got the thinking cap on for this one too. But the Honda will be a great machine to have when we take friends out that don't own their own machine.

I'm trying to find an option for a new master cylinder for a 1990 Trail Boss 250. It appears to use the same MC as my 1997 Sportsman 500 so I assume its a pretty common MC for older Polaris ATVs. They both have a female 1/8" NPT connection, but the replacement MCs seem to all be M10x1.25 which is set up for a banjo bolt type brake line.

Has anyone successfully adapted a MC like this to a Polaris with a 1/8" NPT brake line connection? I can't find an adapter, or a brake line that has a banjo connection on the master cylinder end and a flared fitting for the junction box. I hate paying $300 for a new Polaris MC.

Also, I tried unsuccessfully to rebuild the old MC.

Thanks

So my Can am outlander xtp 1000 2014 has a key that my family left in our cousins house and we forgot about it for 2 years and the other day we went to out cousins house to eat and we found it and we tried to use it but it says "Bad Key"? Can some one help me? Also the key looks to be in great shape.

So i'm having a hard time finding black plastic so i can take off all the yellow on my renegade 800 xxc 2010! What else could I do ? Or where can I go online ? I live in Canada btw

2018, can't decide...

The 650 is "ok for everything", but imo lacks low end torque when accelerating. Not for me.

the 850 is plenty of power imo.
I tried the 1000, and I don't see where or how I would want that much. I don't race, I don't mud, I don't do deep snow...
I mostly do trails, slow speed, or gravel roads at 70-100 km/h, but the 850 is already fast to accelerate.

I am the kind of person who always wants "the best", but seriously, I can't see how the 1000 is better in that case. It uses more fuel, heats more, and technically, doesn't really do anything more than the 850?

Is there something I don't get?
