Do these have a cooling fan in stock form SR?

I have a friend who heads to Colorado several times a year, he loves it..!! We do plan on a USA adventure at some point but obviously money is the biggest factor... To make the trip worth while we'd need at least a month plus the funds.. With a little one nearly with us it's safe to assume that this trip is on hold for the foreseeable. My ideal trip would be to work whilst in the USA, but from what I've learnt that can prove to be difficult. It seems easier in Australia or New Zealand... I've had several offers now for assistance with accommodation etc, I REALLY DO appreciate that as well folks, it means a lot. I'd love to get the opportunity to meet you all I really would, it will happen one day, I'll make sure of it 🙂

Sports ATV'S is not something I've ever been into, currently considering it though. The gearing means nothing to me if I'm honest however, I did have a ride on a Polaris 525cc several years back that was geared for a big guy (22 stone!), It accelerated that fast I couldn't focus, my eyes were like the ball in a pinball machine haha!!

Interesting build, I look forward to seeing the end result for sure 🙂 From the above Im thinking you'll be gaining more power, torque especially at a much lower rev range. I could be wrong, I'm no race engine builder by any means lol! What carb will you have to use for this build, will the stock carb with oversized jets be big enough?

On another note... Does anybody know where these new lockers are made? Japan, Europe, USA, dare is say it... China?!?!

Here's food for thought.... Lockers as we all know don't come cheap however, a spool, welded diff or permanent locked is easy to achieve. Surely, free wheeling hubs would be cheaper to manufacture and much, much easier for model/year compatibility. What's your thoughts folks?

Thanks for the replies folks.. To be honest I listed it here because I know it's not a factory fitted item over your side of the water whereas here they all came stock with a speedometer. I'd like it to be used for sure not just flipped but if there's any interest from regulars here we can work something out for sure. @Wheeler If you want it for your 300 build you can have it if you pay shipping. I'll take some photos tomorrow for you all and post them up 🙂

I'm also a fan of camping, as you say, there's no cell service, your away from reality and life as we know it 🙂

Welcome MQ 🙂

93 - 00 (gen2 & Gen3) 300 fourtrax speedometer. Complete setup, ready to fit In good used condition. No idea what it's worth, highest bidder wins it, bidding starts at $30.

Or holidays as we call them in the UK..!! What do you have planned for your next, where is it and why?! This may seem an intrusive thread but i get intrigued. I tend to choose places I've never been to, just to see what it's like! Those worthy of mentioning would be Africa, to climb Kilimanjaro. England, UK (Cumbria), to climb Scaffel Pike. Wales, UK, to climb Mount Snowdon.

I found the big horns to be a very hard compound rubber. Don't seem to mould around the terrain bit sit on top and skip, hop & bounce, especially on loose, dry, gravel type terrain. I did however find them very puncture resistant. That being said.. Mega Mayhem's are very similar on dry, loose terrain. Rubber compound is to hard, they don't mould over the terrain at all. They also suffer badly from cuts to the leading edge of the lugs on hard, dry surfaces. How do outlaws fair on hard, loose ground guys? Do they get cut lugs also?

I agree Mac however... Modern friction materials, oils and friction modifiers can be used together to achieve great results. I haven't tried them myself but I have seen results in similar applications that have worked extremely well. It's a shame nobody has come up with a torque biasing locker as yet, the same as Quaife offer for trucks etc. Would be the perfect solution for ATV's IMO, easy to steer, locks on demand, and not only transfers power to the wheel not spinning but manages the power between the wheels. Could cost high dollar though, infact I imagine it would cost high dollar! Lol

Our second biggest city is Birmingham also, guess what....?! It also is constantly riddled with traffic due to construction!! The foods you mention pretty much sum up what we eat here I've tour Christmas holidays lol..

Yes, we call those pastries with crimped ends, pasties, or a pasty (singular). Pretty much any filling goes however common fillings are, chicken tikka, ham and cheese, cheese and onion, and not to mention a traditional Cornish pasty! It seems crawfish is a popular delicacy in Louisiana.. The closest we have is Crayfish (similar but smaller I believe), maybe one day I'll get to sample some LA dishes 🙂

So... A few questions... Are you guys able to source friction material used for clutches & brake pads etc etc? You know there are many different options available, yes? I've never looked into modifying a front diff other than adding shims but after a little research it seems OEM could be made better by upgrading the friction materials on the clutches. Just thought it was worth a mention 🙂

Clutches can be refurbished, new friction material can be bonded to the steel backing plates easily enough. It's certainly something I'm confident in doing if anybody here needs assistance or a refurb.

So what's usually on the menu for thanks giving in the USA then? Turkey, goose & gammon with all the trimmings?! I'm a big fan of pies Retro, if it's surrounded with pastry count me in!! Haha!

Yeah those dull days suck don't they, I'm not a depressive kind of guy but that weather does seem to take a hit on some folks for sure. I quite like the Autumn/winter months, or at least I do here in England lol

As a stock replacement I would always buy bearclaws. For general and intended ATV use they do the job perfectly. For mud.... The options are endless aren't they really. I had mega mayhem's which were fantastic and didn't really float to bad. I think if I ever build another mud bike I'll just fit BKT Agri tyres. They work best on trucks and it seems that way on ATV'S too. The price is also far cheaper! 🙂 Id have to mention mud lites too, they work well in most conditions you'd usually encounter in general ATV use, plus some.

Wow, we've only just had our second hard frost here in the UK (south). Currently 5C, and I thought that was cold!! Haha

How was thanks giving for you all (or should I say 'Y'all'?! Lol) I'm right in saying this is a national holiday for you guys, yes? How much time do you get off work for this? I'm just curious! 🙂

Can't beat fish, chips & curry sauce haha.. It's a British delacasy!! We have turkey with all the trimmings at Christmas. Christmas is our biggest yearly celebration/annual holiday 🙂

Mac mean make the A frame or draw bar removable. Remember, to be legal for UK/Ireland it will need to be sleeved at least 6" and cross bolted through the box section. One bolt horizontally, one bolt vertically. From memory it would require a minimum of 50x50x3mm box section sleeved with 40x40x3mm box section and bolt diameter of 12mm/ 1/2 inch. Over engineer it and you won't go far wrong with the law 🙂

Be sure to try potential solutions one at a time. Good luck 🙂 keep us posted.
