Ditto...
I've been holding out on purchasing my sxs with all this competition of standard, standard plus, high performance, and now, almost comp-ready rigs. You really have to weigh out what you intend to do with the sxs before actually looking for something that will hold that and them some more.
In review of the pics, the rear swing arms are similar to that of the rzr900. Though ends look to be rubber rather than heim. To add, the arms look integrated to the ends so no adjustments. A 5-link rear, different for sure.
The floor pan looks to be plastic in the front wheel wells. Probably not true. Though looks like a match the rear gas tank.
Gas tank is on top of the rear axle, engine and driveline. Exhaust is out next to it.
Also notice what looks to be plastic front grille. It goes down to the base frame. It looks to be 1-pc. Really needs a sporting front bumper, winch mount, then get a set of rock rails to match.
Oh decision, decisions...

THE BLACK PLASTIC IS NICE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A REVOLT. I REALLY LIKE THE DOORS & NETS INTEGRATED TOGETHER & I LIKE THE WAY THEY SWING DOWN.

Don, same engine as the Prowler 1000, with some tuning. Twin ITBs, etc.

Yes,read about that,but ,wanted to see a picture.......The twin 50mm TB's will change the overall.That single TB on a cross over bridge on the prowler, killed it's potential..Chris,did you ever do a Prowler 1000 motor

Some of the Prowler guys have been installing a second throttle body (pretty easy mod). A Power Commander V for Harley twins, with Auto Tune, is then installed along with Muzzy Dual Exhaust. Those alone turn the 951 into a whole new motor... That big V-twin likes to breathe, so any reduction in airbox restriction and intake restriction ups it even more... and if you up the compression ratio a little, watch out, it'll really fly, especially with some good clutch tuning.
I run the same, with a 3 inch intake that runs straight to a large K&N Xtreme Filter that sits inside a ram-air hood scoop.

Single shear shock mounts on the rear trailing arms! Not too sure why they did that???Lower rear shock bolt. Tell me what you see?
