JayPo's 2024 Talon 1000R

[Coeus]

Right now I'm trying to heat the UMHW skid and bend it to the correct angle but it's stupid thick (1/2") so I don't know if it'll work. If this doesn't work then I'll probably just do what you suggested.

That’s what I had to do… I also used some clamps to hold it while it cooled

FWIW
I cut a tranverse line with skillsaw partially thru from the top where I wanted it to bend.
Multiple lines if it needs to curve.
Helped alot. Then used floorjack and board to flex plate up to drill and bolt.

HMF front bumper installed. Way more difficult than expected as nothing lined up and you need to be some type of contortionist to get to parts. Also mounted the winch although I still need to do the wiring.

Did you have any welded nuts come loose when taking off factory? Nomo

I had one on my bumper bolt. Looked like it just had some super glue for a weld!

Wait just a da,da,damn minute here……..Sounds like you might just need a build thread!!!! You got a secret?

Fortunately not. That would kinda nomo suck. I did have one welded nut that holds the roof on come loose.

That's exactly how the roof nut looked.

SuperATV Flip-Up Windshield Installed. The Talon windshield flips up much higher than the one on Smokin' Jay, even after I modified Smokin' Jay's to gain another inch (nomo).

First rocker switch installed and it actually works! You'd think that because I'm like a computer genius and work with electronics every day that I would enjoy the wiring / electronics portion of the bolt on process. But no.

I don't have an auxbeam 8 gang. Not even a 7 gang.
