Colleagues, anyone know what product should I use to treat the fiberglass back box? It has caught a lot of sun and now it stings whenever it touches. Sportsman 500 EFI

My last ride, I bottomed out the front end (as usual - haven't been able to get the spacers in) but this time my skid plates literally broke off the machine! One bolt actually ripped through the frame.

I need to pick up some replacement hardware, but there are almost a dozen options to choose from. Bolts I'll get ah HD, I just need 2 of the clamps. Anyone know which ones to order?

Added photos for those interested.

I have a stock 2016 sportsman 450 HO and I am looking to upgrade some things on it. I want to get the most out of this bike and make it as fun as possible to drive. Finding parts for it seem kinda difficult for some reason. I am looking for an
Aftermarket exhaust and air intake for it and can't seem to find one. Do parts for a 570 fit on it fine? Such as an exhaust or intake. Also I plan on flashing the ecu after I do these upgrades to get the most power I can. Any thoughts on this ???

Riding my 2004 Polaris Predator 500 this weekend and noticed the engine cut out. I noticed the one-way oil valve bolt backed completely out!! Almost all the oil came out of the engine. engine would not start. I took the engine apart and noticed there was a huge score on the side of the sleeve and the piston. Would this cause the engine not to start at all not even a pop. I tried adding gas to the engine through the carburetor with a spray bottle without even a pop. confirmed I do have spark. I did not do a compression test with a tester. However it did blow my thumb out of the spark plug hole with no problem. I removed the head, checked all the valves, valves were perfectly fine. Valve seats were also fine. I am just wondering if the scored piston is something that will cause this problem entirely. Or if there is something else wrong. Prior to this I had no issues.
