thought id bring this over here was on dootalk.. This will be for Free/ cheap Mods only, let's keep it under $50 Let's try to have pic's with them also. Maybe add the benefit of the mod also
here are some already
Pull out all the foam when it gets wet and freezes it gets heavy
by:rocks rev
post forward, pretty well known mod, supposedly helps carve and sidehill easier (I haven't ridden it this way yet).
The picture shows the holes in the back, where the rear mounts of the post used to go. Simply take the bolts out push the post forward, put one of the bolts back in, drill out the front hole, second bolt in and you're good to go.
Total cost-$0
Go to 1st pic
(since I have giant feet) is to cut the panels open for more foot room, it doesn't move you more forward, but it certainly helps get your feet in/out/etc. After being "hooked in" the stirrup and getting my foot broke on my first REV, this seems to help a lot.
See 2-3
Printing some graph paper online and carefully laying it out on your panels and drilling a 5/64" grid pattern is good for some cheap/easy/free venting too.
See 4-5
i took a piece of masking tape and masked from the snow flap mount to the drop bracket and trimmed my tunnel to have a nice even rise instead of the weird stock style, and i cut my running boards and raised them up.
see 6-7
the switch relocate. i used a buzzer button from ace for the reverse and toggle switches for the hand warmers and lights
see 8
go to home depot and ask for some "pet screen". i did a headlight delete and use a small fog light from oriely's, and replaced the stock metal screens with the pet screen. i used hot glue and its pretty strong actually.
see 9-10
next is the 2 wheel kit! free if you have a tap set. these are not my instructions, i found them off of another site
cut the axle to 8 7/8"
cut the spacer to 4 1/4"
tap the axle with the correct metric threads, or use a 3/8 course SAE it works ok.
Take the plastic piece off the clutch cover, trim the tabs off, and put some holes in it.... Let that thing stay cool....
