Filter

I cannot get at the oil filter on my '17 450 HO. Is there a special wrench that gives a guy access to this filter?? They only needed to make a hole in the bash plate to allow access for a wrench. DUH.

Powersteering Question

I am sure this has been asked before but my search didn't turn up anything. Is there an aftermarket kit available to add PS to a 570 Sportsman? I am not sure I would want to do it, but sometimes I think it would be nice to have PS instead of wrestling the bike unassisted.

Disregard, I found my answer.

SPOP vs Iron Baltic 2017+

Hey guys,
Don't laugh...I bought another set of skid plates. Iron Baltic this time. Why? Because I stripped out the SPOP bracket on the rear skids while greasing my new Cecco knuckles. In addition, because of the SPOP's lack of hardware, I had to jerry rig hardware on the body skid.

Here's my thoughts: the Iron Baltic is essentially better in every way EXCEPT the front skids. IMO, the SPOP front is just neater and cleaner instead of having the split on the Iron Baltic. I also ended up using one bracket from the SPOP kit on the body skid. I'm very pleased now and believe I have the best of both worlds. If I had to choose one, I'd definitely go Iron Baltic.

Thanks,
Tom
