I am currently running the stock 2" lift on my 850 High Lifter and am thinking about increasing the lift with portals. It appears GDP offers a nice 4" portal kit, but i noticed that it also comes with 1.4:1 gear reduction (approximately 30%)-- not sure how that will pair up with the already reduced ratio that the High Lifter comes with from the factory... I am looking for any advice on this before I jump into $3000 portal kit.
Differences between 1000 TOURING and XP
Thinking about a 18-19 1000 TOURING instead of a XP 1000
The local dealer doesn't have one I can physically look at.
Will be used 99.9% as a single rider .The main reason Im looking at it is,,,
The touring 1000 has the same lights and storage as the 2015 850
The lights matter because I have the HERETIC Studios LED's and would love to keep them. The storage matters because thats what Im used,and I like the old box's better
Besides a 4" longer wheelbase I see its Around 3 inches longer but what gets me is How is it 8" higher (pretty sure thats what I was reading)and the touring has a 3" seat height difference then a 850 or 1000? Anyone know why? Is it the back seat they are referring to??Does the touring have the upgraded pinion cover? Arched A arms front and back? I read there used to be a storage box for the seat delete but is not sold anymore.Is that true?
Besides the measurements does the touring have all the upgrades the XP has
Any downsides besides tight trails ? Any regrets on getting a touring ?

Battery/Wiring
Hello, new to the forum. Bought a 2016 Sportsman 850 SP and figured I should join here for questions. I was looking at my battery terminals trying to figure out a side problem with what I think is a newly installed winch draining my battery, and noticed a red fused connection between each terminal and a black fused connection between each terminal. I'm not an electrical minded person, so could someone just tell me what this is for? Not used to new atvs. Seems like so many connections. My older 2007 Arctic Cat 650 TRV that I'm used to doesn't have these same fused wires that run from each terminal post. I'm guessing negative and positive fused protection? Thanks in advance.

Backseat/storage box
Hello , i was wondering if someone could shed some light on the installation of a backseat/storage box , do i have to buy polaris specific back seat or will any universal one work? I was looking at installation videos but they're all the tube frame rack style thanks in advance.

2017 VS 2018 Sportsman 850
Are there any Sportsman nuts here who know the upgrades/changes/differences they made to the 2018 Sportsman 850 SP's? I can spot a few, but curious if anyone knows for sure. Even the dealers don't know haha.
No charge to battery
2017 sportsman 570. 56 hours/ 450 miles.
I get to our cabin once a month to ride it. Muddy trails but I'm 52 and don't ride crazy.
Started it up on Thursday, said Lo 10.5 when I started it, eventually went back to DC 12.5.
Same thing Friday, but then voltage started going down and bike died after we'd been riding for few hours. Wouldn't start up.
Took a battery from a friend's 400 to get the 570 back to cabin. But even that one said LO 10.6.
Charged up original battery, put it back i, started up, and that one says LO 10.6. Didn't ride it again, but it started up fine next day to get out on trailer to take it home on Sunday, still saying LO 10.6.
Was going to take out to the dealer, just concerned they will charge an arm and a leg.
Worth replacing regulator, then stater or should I take it in?
