Hello welcome! Where in Maine? I live in Wells

Whoa sorry to revive this one. Just figured out how to see replies.

We are in Durham, about 20mins from LL Bean.

here is my set up

I really like the light bar on the bumper. My only thing is I'm not into drilling holes. I'm going to check if a mounting bracket would fit around the bumper.

ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / Re: Z8 doors and pockets

I'm also on the lookout for doors. Leaning towards the Rival Suicides. I like the door opening limiter to stop your door just flying open. The latch looked a bit higher quality than other brands also.

Has anyone bought these?

I cant seem to adjust the high beam or low beam. Its been a while since we had it out, so I forget which one. Thought this may be good for a filler light. Because its a cheap light I might just mount it up there for the hell of it and see how long it lasts. I agree it just looks cool!

In the last few days I installed a 2" Perfex Lift, 2" spacers, and a brand new set of Elkas. I was delighted when to jump on the machine and hear the glorious sound of WHOOSH as the real shocks worked. Good riddance to the dump truck OE shocks.

This light, doors, bolstering my driver seat up, swapping the plastic air filter adapter are still on my punch list for this season.

yea that makes a lot of sense. maybe instead ill try to find a way to install under roof and fill in the shadow with a smaller bar on the front bumper.

I was thinking about the crushed adapter issue and it seems to me that although one might get a piece of ABS or PVC to work, the best thing is to use something as thin to maximize the air flow yet be so strong you never have to worry about it ever again. As I built all my intake systems with 3" and 2.5" aluminum turbo/intercooler pipe, to me some 2.25" would be just the thing to use here. For like 8 bucks you can get a piece of 2.25" x almost 20" from amazon. Way more then necessary but one could find some use for the extra down the road somewhere...or sell some to a buddy with a Z Force. I might just head-off a potential problem and get one of these now.

OK so I did buy that long 2.25" pipe and it finally came. Today as I was working in the shop anyway I went a head and pulled the air box cover and filter...and adaptor. Although mine was only 2"s long without the end flange I saw that I could go farther into the rubber on the box-side and because the oversized filter I use doesn't have that lip inside, I could go a little longer that way too. Cut it at 3", cleaned it up and installed it. Worked perfectly. This is a safe mod to do and one that probably should be on your list.

ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / Roof light mounting options
February 18, 2022, 02:01:56 PM
Hello out there!  :) I have 2017 Zforce 800 Trail, recently I picked up a 36" Led light bar. The mounts on the light line up perfectly with the two front roof bolts. Perfect! I cant think of any reason why not to mount to the roof mount bolts, the only thing is every photo I've seen people have drilled and mounted through the roof forward of the roof bolts. Is there a reason I'm not aware of why I shouldn't use the bolts to mount? I'd love to hear some input on this as I'm not really a fan of drilling holes. Thanks guys!

Hello everyone! I also just bought a Zforce 800 mostly for my girlfriend to drive when we go out riding. She's more comfortable in this than on a standard atv. See you on the trails and safe riding!!
