800 Can Am vs Polaris 850XP?

[DaveB]

didnt mean to offend you. just figured theres equal playin ground out at fish lakes- wide open trail, tight stuff, skeg, clay holes. alot deends on tires too. iv towed and was towed home by tjr's 800(oops ran outta gas-gauge quit) we can do a points system over the weekend and see which scores best! also depends on rider skill, age of machine, yadda yadda yadda. not biast, just wanna get a few together and see

Not offended at all dude...no worries...just not gonna make it to Barrhead this weekend as I have plans at Gull for some fishin'. I know Arff heads down towards areas I often hit.....

Train broke and could not get to camp, hopefully Saturday. Here is some pics of the Catvos 3" lift with the 2.5 inch rake for the Polaris XP 850 in case anyone wants to see what it looks like out of the box. I will be going with the Rhino axles, as I can't justify spending over 2 grand for the red line axles and then wait 2 - 3 weeks for delivery. I got the Rhinos for 917 shipped to Ontario from "Super ATV" and they said they will have all 4 here within 24 hours to 4 days at the most. Still waiting for my spacers. I will be selling the OEM axles. The guy from Super ATV admitted that the axles won't be real tight like the redlines but that they have had a lot of luck with them and that they hold up really well.
