i've had that deer on my hood for the last 13 years( i make them).. from my wrangler, excursion, dodge truck, ford 500, mazda mpv, saturn and a taurus! it gets some good reaction when i'm on the road especially because it has a real bright light for the nose! and i've never lost one on the highway in 13 years even at 75mph!

the previous owner of the sled took his jewelry to florida, but he did give me 2 HJC helmets, 2 new belts, 4 new s-plugs and a couple quarts of Polaris oil!! and no i did not even use a gun!!LOL... just $400 bucks!!LOL

CHEERS TO THE "floridians"

well i can't take credit.. i just got the sled(myfirst one) this past weekend... i've been looking on the "for sale" ads online everywhere and i couldn't find that color to see if it was factory... it's in such great shape so i'm happy with it... not a huge fan of "aqua" but don't want to mess with it....

thanks

Love the sled and the dog is intense, you should do a photoshop of your sled without the decals and see what it looks like all red. Just my $.02 but congrats again on the deal

is a good idea if you dont like the blue i would get some risers to the stock bars look lame i did that with my old 440 polaris it looked a lot better but that just my $.02

ok newb question...

what do the "risers" do over the stock bars?

yaa i have an idea for a different stripe... but that will have to wait for summer time.. i have to figure it out and make sure it will look good... and i'll do that in photoshop.. i like the red because it does "pop" out at ya... just may change the stripe...

thanks

They essentially just make the bars higher. You typically do it if you're a taller rider or want to carve/stand up alot while riding.
Next sled might be a bad example, BUT:
With a Riser:

Without:

Typically you can raise them 2-3" without needing to add throttle and brake cable extensions.
