Gotta agree with Pred-Rider. After a six hour woods thrashing, and a two hour harescramble the panels still look like new. You folks with interference problems, have you tried loosening the fasteners, and pushing the panels in, then tightening things up. It's something new, it's gonna take time to get used to, but once you start some routine maint, you'll really start to appreciate the simplistic nature of the assembly. Just gotta get a billet aft tank mount made now. That beefy steel unit weighs a few lbs. After all this dust settles, I wouldn't even put it past Polaris to start making dirt bikes. Just kinda have a feeling.
