Not today. But Sat sat in it and ran it for a few to get the fluids moving. I'm getting real tired of living so far from any trails. I now understand why on CL here there are some used SXSs with low miles on them. This is getting really old. My ride sits for months without leaving the garage.

Check out Rider Planet-USA
I looked around Raleigh NC
I bet Iowa has several too.

Guys come to Montana, I'm still exploring area around my town, I think we have plenty on national forest trails and abundance of logging roads .
UTVs are also street legal here
Yep, western states tend to have far more wilderness and riding opportunities than states on the eastern seaboard. Montana, the third largest state in the US has about the population of San Jose California. Wyoming, less yet.

Installing center rear view mirror . Creative Graphics is sending third set of graphics as the 1st two didn't work .
Feel sorry for you ncred . I can ride from my house and access hundreds of miles of trails . 3/4 mile to national forest and I have a little over a mile of trails on my property . My p5 and my RZR are street legal too so they make runs to the stores too .

Finally took mine to the dealer Friday to get the front diff leak fixed. So now I wait.... Really not feeling very great about taking it there after talking with a couple of the service department employees. Oh well. Don't have much of a choice unless I felt like paying out of pocket and doing the work myself instead of using the warranty.

Alan's ride is testimony that they do work, if the stickers you receive this time aren't defective, and if you follow the instructions maticulously, especially concerning the proper prep to the plastic, and take into consideration the tips that Alan posted, I believe you'll be fine. Good luck HUCK.

Man I hope they fix it, properly. And treat you right in all respects. I know what you mean about feeling less than confident after speaking with employees at the dealer. This is why I've been performing all my own maintenance on the P5. In contrast, I've taken my PoPo to the dealer for all of its scheduled maintenance. 8 years now, nearly 5,000 miles and she runs like a top. That's because I can tell that the techs/mechanics attend all CME/T annually, and know their machines.

I think proper cleaning and most important applying heat correctly is key. When I had my hood and rea fenders sprayed with Line-X I took the Pioneer decals off the rear fenders and re-applied them after the spray using my heat gun and they are staying on like they were never taken off. Keep in mind also that the Creative Graphics are not stickers but more like magnetic vinyl.
