Got the replacement doors from Rocky Mountain today. Quick 15 min per side to install. Great fit and nice parts. I skipped the nets but got the cup holders.

I have these on my 19 and 21. Gone is the constant rattle from the add on door bottoms or the mud from the front wheel and very cost effective to boot. I did the cup holders (buy the accessory instead of the part for the door, much cheaper) and the nets were a little more pricy and scored the grommets for them from Harbor Freight.

@ToddACimer you just bought the whole door and put your top door skin on it? Easy to do? Glad to hear RM had them. I heard they were on back order.
I bought the door, 1 bumper for the lower front corner and the cup holder insert. I reused my original door latch and the outer skin. All the mounting hardware is the same. It's about 15 min per side

Sometimes you just get lucky.

So my lack of maintenance did not pay off. We enjoyed the talon a bunch after picking it up mid-summer. Turns out we should have checked the air box sooner. Somehow the intake pipe and crank case vent werent hooked up.

Solution to that problem is a new filter and a kit from 1080.

Overall really happy with the fit of the intake parts. I grabbed a K&N at 60% off from Advanced Auto because they were closing. I ordered an outerwear for it but I think I'll switch it out for a Snorkel intake like I have on the Pioneer. I was really surprised on a quick trip to the gas station how loud the intake noise is.

I thought about that but I'd need something upfront too.

I remember how awful it was to watch @Plumber32 and @TripleB wash windows every stop sign at Drummond when the rest of us were just covered in mud head to toe
I'm not sure what it is about the mud on D.I., that schit sticks to everything, worse than the TN mud. I spent hours cleaning the radiators out after our last trip out there.

FWIW, EMP makes a nice set up for the Talon, steel frame with glass & a manual wiper at the top, their are vents at the bottom for air flow on the warm days, just about any back window will do. We don't hear the intake noise on ours.

I think a back window will drown the snorkel filter in dust because of the low pressure area it will cause. I've never installed mine for that reason.

IMO it’s 6 of one, half dozen of another. For me the idea of the pre filter is to make it more accessible for removing and cleaning and catching the rocks if you will…not necessarily to replace the stock filter. A second filter on the shelf is an option too.

For those following along -
"I've never installed mine for that reason" can be read two ways, either I never installed the snorkel filter or the back window.

Just to clarify my statement - I do run a snorkel filter like the popular 10-80 Sports and I don't run a back window because it will cause a low pressure area behind it, and the snorkel + filter lives in that backdraft, including my own dust.

I rarely have my windshield down in dusty conditions because the low pressure caused by the windshield fills the cab with my dust, a back window will do the same thing to a snorkeled filter.

Having the filter where I can see it at a glance and change it out with a readied spare in 5 minutes is well worth the 3" hole in a body panel. The biggest advantage to a prefilter is being able to leave the overly complicated stock filter location untouched.

I always wear a full coverage helmet to make up for running with my windshield up. You pick yer poison -

Few more parts on order.

Next to arrive should be the Bandit true dual rate spring kit with cross over rings. I went with the medium spring as I want this to ride nice with my wife and 1 of the kids in it.

I have a Bosman bumper on order. I opted for the narrower one and went with black for color. I'll install this with the new 4500 lb Traveler winch. We'll need a pair of lights for it but I haven't picked those out yet.

Since I don't know the spring rates of the original or new springs, I'm working on a load cell setup for my press using a small shipping scale. I used my new 3d printer to make a press to spring adapter. This should allow me to check all 8 springs pretty quick
