So far I've had to buy two Polaris parts to replace.  1. Rubber boots for steering. 2. Steering wheel adjustable shock.  On the drivers side boot I noticed the replacement is about twice the size as the original.  On the shock it has a nice springloaded lever.  It seems that Polaris uses one type of part for general assembly and another for replacement.  The replacement parts are better quality by far.  Doesn't seem right to me.  IMO.  What's your thoughts?

I agree, it doesn't seem right that the replacement  factory part is built better than the original part.  Unless it has something to do about where the factory parts are manufactured and where the replacement parts are made.

I had the same problem with the rear shock top plates. The ones it was built with were aluminum and broke. The replacements were steel.  They where cheap like $2.50 each or something close, but they should give them to you if they know its been a problem.. Just my 2 cents.

Yep, those plates are junk! I replaced mine with some home made plates when I switched to the Highlifter springs.  They are not very pretty, but you can't see them anyway unless you look real hard.

My only real problem has been with the adustable steering wheel shock. I have had to replace 2 of them. It has always been my fault. I like to go deep, and the shock does not like water. Both were replaced under warranty. I have a very understanding dealer. I have decided that when this one goes out, I will be using a piece of flat bar with quick release pins.

A hint for those who like to go deep. There is a weep hole behind the instrument cluster. This weep hole is there to reduce fogging of the cluster. You must silicone this hole closed if you go deep enough to get water over the cluster. I went through 2 clusters before I found this hole.
