Nope, never thought I'd do tis, I bought a razor. Nothing fancy, just a RZR 800. So I am in the dark about these things. It's plain, and I need some BUDGET friendly accessories, like:
Mirrors
Some storage on the back, that doesn't involve and ratchet straps or bungee cords.
Ideas on an Ash tray. Yes, I smoke, but it's difficult to put a cigg out and a place, other than the floor, to put the butts in.( I do not throw any part f a Cigg on the ground, that belongs to someone else.

It has 4 LED light pods on top, all 4 have it's own switch, Any idea why it would be wired like that?
Also, after taking my first ride to day, and Cherry Crush adventure park (only like 17 miles from my home), A lot of times, well, most of the time, it wants to grind when switching from hi to low, low to hi, and mostly switching from and forward gear to reverse. Any thoughts?, Most times to change gears, I had to shut it off, and then shift into desired position.

Amazon had some decent mirrors I used on my jeep. As far as an ashtray what about the cupholder style and a cage mount cup holder?
 
The grinding probably means the shift cable needs to be adjusted...OR...the secondary is still spinning. I'd put money on the second one since you said it shifts fine when you cut it off.

I'd start with disassembly and a good cleaning of both clutches. If it has any amount of miles on it and they were never cleaned, the one way bearing in the primary is likely due for a replacement or a cleaning and regreasing. Pull the cover and start it. If the rear clutch is spinning in park or neutral and it takes any amount of heavy force to make it stop, there's your culprit. It can also be a belt and/or shaft alignment issue. Sounds daunting, but it's easy once you dig in to it and do it once or twice.

You'll wind up needing to buy some tools as well. A primary puller, belt removal tool, and maybe an alignment fixture.

I picked up some pretty inexpensive side mirrors and a rear view from HighLifter. Falcon Ridge is the brand, I think. They were on sale and they work pretty well. No complaints! I didn't need anything super fancy, just functional.

SuperATV is also a good place to find things. Mother Clutcher has solid and affordable clutches if yours are too badly worn. I had to replace both of mine.
 
Milwaukee Pack-outs seem to be the go to for all the SxS folks nowadays. I’d hit up Amazon or HF for the cheaper versions of stackable storage.

I'll have to say, I only wanna ride with the SXS people who are NOT trying to get their rock bouncing fix in a SXS. I wanna ride trails, and not at high speeds. If I wanna hit obstacles, I'll take my Crawler.

for reference, it has 3000 miles, and 300 hours on it. And, the shift cable was new on it. So, could very well be the clutch assembly!
 
Well, in that case, I'd definitely make sure the cable is adjusted properly! It probably is and got replaced because they assumed it was that and they never considered looking at the clutches. Lots of things sliding around in there and they're often neglected.

One-way bearing in the clutch is bad. Remove the clutch cover and watch the secondary at idle, it should not be spinning.

Not all SXS folks are douche bags. However, there is a portion of the SXS crowd that gives the entire community a bad reputation. At this point almost makes be embarrassed to own one.

Not all SXSs are created equal 😉

Would those portals happen to have Turbo S4 brakes bolted to them? If so...I read through the build thread on that rig and it is SWEET. I totally didn't connect the dots on your username and location until just now!

I'm not active on RZR Forum, but I was looking up info and part numbers on the brakes swap for my XPT when I ran across your build thread.

Yes sir, that is the same machine. I appreciate the kind words. She's do for some more trick updates if I can ever finish this POS BTF buggy :driver:

I go by RZR_Joe on the RZR forums and help run the forum.

I still want to do the front brake swap, but they're PROUD of those calipers!
 
I will say, recently I have met some cool SxS folks. We had a big ol time up at Lions Den a few weeks ago when a couple came in behind us. One flopped it at the end between 2 rocks. We used our rigs and made short work of the recovery and they were surprised and grateful. Now granted, I wanted to run the trail backwards and needed him out of the way :gtfo:

But seriously we had been standing around cutting up with these folks for a while and everyone was cool. There was never a question if we were going to help them or not. That's just one time of many meeting SxS people that were awesome.
