Homemade Stuff on your Quad
OK, I'm new, so my apologies if this has been covered...
I was just curious what you guys had come up with as far as home-brew mods to your various rides. Could be anything, just stuff you've done yourself to suit your riding style/ usage better.
Myself, all I've done so far is a homemade 2" reciever hitch for mine (and sorry for the lack of pics, my camera is down ). Makes moving my trailers around the yard a bunch easier. My next project is looking like it's gonna' be a log skidder, as soon as I run across the steel I'm after...
Anyhow, like I said, just curious what y'all have done/ built...

I made a "safety cable" for my front box, so it won't get busted off, I used 1/8" or 1/16", I can't remember which, and put a hook in the middle of my box just above my fuse panel cover, and I drilled a hole in the top plastic the supports, and made a loop with the cable, and used a small stainless d-shackle to attach it there
I'll try to get some pics soon
