Lots of good info here thanks
I like the comments about steel racks instead of plastic skins and the plus of a pull cord
except having tried the pull on a 500 I doubt it is usable for most riders.

have experience with a few Polaris machines , all newer EFI types , and all of them have had melted plastics from a very hot exhaust system
Right side knee area on all had major heat issues, dealer warned against using exhaust wrap
I know these have to run lean to meet emissions but why not a better air flow design

are all makes susceptible to melting
