Anyone know how to align the front storage bin on 18 Sportsman 850 SP? There's a slightly bigger gap on the left side of the picture - see red box. It closes fine with clamps just isn't aligned perfectly.

fucking lower control arm bolts
I have a 2011 sportsman 800 I bought used. the fourth time I had it out one of the front control arm bolts fell out. this caused the lower control arm to slide off the shaft when I was going about 40mph on a relatively smooth trail. the result of the control arm sliding backwards caused the tire to get bound up in the foot well locking the tire up and caused the four wheeler to pitch sideways, roll, and throw me. anyways I replaced the bolts with grade 8 and used red locktite. I ended up spending 4 hours in the emergency room and missing time from work. I will post pictures when I can.
2 stroke oil for cold weather.
So after a week in the 30 degree range i noticed my lucas 2 stroke oil was fairly thick in the resovoir on my trailboss 250. What oil should i use for cold weather with the oil injection? I will be using it all winter so i want to make sure i do not starve the motor of oil.
2004 Sportsman 600 Radiator Tabs Broken
Came back from a 120Km ride and half way in noticed the 2 radiator mounting tabs at the top of the radiator were cracked and one was completely broken off. Limped home for 60Km after some zip ties and duct tape held things together.
Before I drop some money on another radiator, has anyone had this happen before?
Quad only has 850Km and I want to make sure this isn't something that will happen again.

What other years does 2001 plow mount work on
I have a Polaris Glacier plow and mount from a 2001 Sportsman 500. The mount will not fit on a 2004, the front mounting bolts are different than the 2001. What other years will it work on? I think up till 2003 but not sure on the older versions before 2001. If anyone knows can you please post what years are the same mount as the 2001. Thanks much

Need some more help with brakes
I posted another thread about a week ago but it has died so I thought I would try a new one. There's a fall festival this weekend that I would really like to ride in.
On my last ride, I lost all my brakes, as in the lever went to the handlebar and didnt stop. I got home and realized fluid was pumping from the upper reservoir to the foot brake reservoir and vice versa when I pumped either brake. I replaced all pads and my rear caliper, and it didnt help. Fluid is still pumping between the two reservoirs and I have no resistance at the levers. I agreed with the advice that I got here, in that the only place the fluid from the upper and lower systems meet is at the rear caliper. So I'm wondering if I could have gotten a bad caliper, or if a bad master cylinder could cause the same symptoms? I am removing the masters right now to try visually inspecting them but would love some advice on what could cause this. I have bled the brakes with a mighty vac, and even tried a zip tie on the foot brake overnight to get any air out. The brakes bleed fine, and they do grab when I squeeze the lever, just not enough to provide resistance at the lever. I would think that SOME resistance should be there if everything was working properly but I still had air in the system. I also hear a bubbly sound in the rear caliper when I push the foot brake. Its faint, but I hear something in there whether its air or just fluid moving.

Demand Drive Fluid Question
I had planned on changing the hub fluid tonight and riding tomorrow for the first time. Only problem is no one stocks this fluid locally. The one Polaris dealer does not sell it and only offers their services to change the fluid.
I have read that Amsoil ATF may be a equal replacement but am not 100% confident yet. My machine is a 1997 Sportsman 500 and the documentation I have read suggests only using part number 2871654 Premium Demand Drive Fluid. Can anyone offer suggestions about the Amsoil ATF for my vehicle please?
