How To Choose an ATV Helmet



With so many options available, figuring out how to choose an ATV helmet can be tricky. Fortunately, we’ve got some thoughts to help you decide on the right ATV helmet for you.

Whether you call it a skid lid, a brain bucket or a hard hat, an ATV helmet is one of the most important pieces of safety gear you should own. The only thing that should come before it is common sense, which would tell you to wear a helmet. If you want to know how to choose an ATV helmet, is really pretty easy as long as you know the basics of what to look for.

Glacier snow plow question

At the risk of asking a dumb question - does the blade rest on the ground? Or are the skid shoes supposed to rest on the ground?

I will only be plowing my driveway.

1000xt Questions

I just picked up a 1000 XT it is completely stock. I like the bike but ground clearance sucks and with me ( 280lbs) and my 14 year old son on the back it bottoms out. So I did some research and decided to go with 2" shock spacers in the rear and 1 1/2" in the front. The bike now sits 2" higher and seems to ride just fine. I am now worried about the angle of the axles ( will this cause problems?). So currently it has 26" Big Horns on it and I want to up grade to 28" Mudzillas. I have been reading that I will need to put a clutch kit in with the bigger tires. If a 570 can run 28" Mudzillas why can my 1000 that has loads of power handle them?
