MiniRF's 2024 Talon 1000R-4 Fox Live Valve

[MiniRF]

I'm finally part of the cool kids club and got myself a Talon! I've pretty much blown the wad on the machine itself, so parts additions are going to be slow. I'm also very new to all of this so any guidance/feedback is always appreciated as I start adding parts. I wasn't going to do a thread but thought maybe my novice thread could help other new members.

P.O.I.D.H.

Just drive it as is for now, When things break, then explore upgrading.
These things are TOUGH as is.
Only weakness is the lack of skid plate. That is more important than trailer hitch or windshield.

Skid plates are going to be my next order. That and a winch are top of my list right now.

Unless you plan to ride alone, a lot, everybody else will have a winch, so I don't think there is a need to rush to get one.

 

[MiniRF]

All great intel for this novice, thanks!

Nice! Congrats. You will love it
Nice new trailer too!

All 4 of my Hondas have had the Trail Armor skids, make sure and get the model with extended side plates. They will go a LONG way in protecting the sides without having tree kickers. Get the trailing arm guards also.
Also think Trail Armor is have a closeout sale right now.

And yes you will love it.

Another 1/2" Trail Armor fan ... be sitting down when you price it -

Sadly the winch and the Bosman bumper almost go hand in hand. And if you want the bumper order it soon…because it takes a LONG time to get.

Im going to be the outcast here and say, ive had the SATV skids on all 3 of my Hondas and beat them to $hit and never had an issue.
Plus you can beat the discount that either the bossman had or @SuperATV gives you and even better when they run a sale and there customer service

So would you not suggest tree kickers if using the Trail Armor skids? I like the idea of not having them but want to make sure the SXS is protected.

Yes I do not like tree kickers, they actually make the machine wider. The skids will extend up the sides a few inches to help protect the fenders and sides. The plastic will also slide easier on rocks than the steel tubes.

I would also suggest Trey Brock( member here) for your tablet mount.
An Auxbeam for any and all accessories now and the future, it makes it WAAAAY easier and cleaner wiring.

Sweet! Congrats!

 

[Red500]

I can't speak for or against tree kickers but I do agree on the skids that come all the way out to and up the sides. I also recommend the aux beam switch panel.
