I stopped in a Martin in the west end and they had one on the floor. Nice looking Quad, looks like it is ready to ride, Except for a Turbo,lol. The Cost was $16,797 out the door, Ouch!

 

[storm1972]

got mine for 16,100 otd, with a new riding shirt, and first service, still working on the parts girl for a rear bag for the thing though

i looked at one of those ogio bags today and they are nice looking , the main storage are is magenetic, not watertight by any means but i guess even the hardshell boxes are about the same. Only hardshell i have found that is very good at water tightness was a kimpex, and i dont want the bolt on type as then the rear storage compartments arent acessable at all, still trying to talk my dealer into dropping the price on the ogio, as 320 bucks is steep, and i found the same bag online for 190 in the states.
As far as the bilge pump , that is a good idea does anyone know if the 12bolt cigarette lighter on a quad will run it at all? and what kind of pressure can a person expect out of it.
And i dont want to comment on the price tag lol, its about 2 arms, a kidney, and maybe part of your spleen if you have a money hungry dealer. All in all though i think if you modded a plain outty 800 the same way it would be about the same. Damn tires alone are 200 bucks a shot...... the prices of these machines nowadays are getting crazy, almost the same as cars lol..

my dad had a 400 bombadier with a queen seat (plastic racks), we could just barly get into the rear compartment. but he had the seat a little farther back on the rack .

but i dont think it would look very good on the longer frame

i rigged up a 12volt rv water pump with a garden sprayer on one end and 15' of suction hose. if a machine is overheating you can stop at any water source and clean out the rad, i also have a pressure washer hooked up to the toy hauler as i never use all 120 gal of water.

@4extreme.....bought mine at wetaskwin motor sports, if your interested ask for either roger or john im sure they will hook you up with a good deal.

i did decide to go with the ogio bag, it looks pretty good on the mxr, and the seat that comes with the bag is removable so thats a bonus as i dont like passengers anyways.
the 12 volt rv pump im sure wouldnt provide enough h20 pressure for washing the machine off before loading, thats why im looking at other alternatives., and i dont want to use the water from the trailer even though it is 130 gallons, we often use most of it as there are 3 of us showering after riding, and we tend to be out in the boonies for a week or so at a time.
the bilge pump idea may work , im just wondering if the atv 12 volt plug in would provide enough jam to run a pump like that?

on a side note i will dismantling some things tomorrow, just to explore it a bit if anyone is interested in pics ood some of the components lemme know and i will try and post them

load yours on first then spin it with a atv jack then you will have lots of room i was able to get 3 full size quads on had to put the wider one on first or back the first one on they are a little wider in the back i have a few tire tracks on my walls as well

Washer Pump

Storm,

Give Lisa a little more ribbing, she needs it!!!

I take a 12v bilge pump with about 12 feet of hose and use it on the trail as I have the engine temp flash lots, I used a brass barbed connection backwards to reduce it to 1/4" and it will wash a little...

But I switch the brass connection to 3/4" hose and put in a creek near the where we are camping and then I just use my gas powered (Honda) pressure washer and voila, dont need trailer water.

The bad thing is you become very popular as everyone is washing theirs too

well it arrived and not a second to late..... labour day weekend @ baseline station west of Rocky Mountian House, this machine is simply awsome.
My first impression of it was "wow this thing is massive", however after a couple hours of riding i seemed to get used to it. The silverback 30's are as suspected , very rough at lower speeds on hardpacked, and incredible in the mud. The dual mode power steering is very easy to like, and a great idea. The adjustable supension system is very well thought out, and simple to use as well, with just a flick of a switch. I will try and get some pics up as soon as possible for you guys

Seen someone in Turples in Red Deer picking one of these up on the weekend.... Great looking unit! I think I'd get into to much trouble with one of them
