The TRI CAT

When I got home from Wayne's Marine on June 1st with my 99 Arctic Cat 500 manual I was happy as anyone could be. I had waited 3 years for this moment. In those 3 years I considered many quads ranging from the Honda Recon to the Yamaha Grizzly 600. I put 112 miles on it in 2 days then brought it back to the dealer for the post break-in check up.  Since then I have put 2610+ miles on it. I don't have the money MUD and The_Law must have to mod my bikes as much  and/or as fast as they do, but I will have a great amout of modifications in the future. So here are my mods.

The Mods Include:

Arctic Cat brand Prefilter (on stock filter) Ox-Lite boot guards (temperarly removed) Handlebar mounted Gun rack (saved my cat a good bit of damage when I rolled her on her side twice) Warn winch plate (to acompany the mesh grill ) Removed Hood and cut the plastic that suports it to make more room to open the radiator cap (plastic that covers radiator cap) Cut "X" slits in the tool indention to let the water and mud drain out Transfered the rear Mud Flaps to in front of the floorborads (keeps more mud off of your feet) Rewired fan to run all the time (like 2000/2001  models) Installed fan switch (to turn fan off for deep water and mud riding) Removed useless rear storage box (possible location of a rear mounted winch) NKG CR8E Spark plug (highly recomended) Rule 3300 lb winch Not installed yet Four 27x12x12 Tri_Claw Magnums on four 12x8 Arctic Cat OEM rear offset wheels (Aired up to 29" tall) 4 ITP Silver Steel Wheels (SOLD!!) 2 Durablue spacers (GIVEN TO ME!!!!)
