Hi guys new to the forum and owning a 4x4 quad...ive always ridden but it was dirt bikes and sport atv's, my activities now require the use of a bigger quad and i absolutly love it...i just picked up a 2008 BF650i with 70 miles on it, 2500 warn, ipt's on SS rims, and other than that shes stock...

I do want to get hand guards and with limited mouting space on the bars was wondering if people use the bar end mount? if so what styles brands? and i have the 2008 blue, think its candy thurnder or something wierd like that, does anyone have this color and was able to find a good color match? thanks guys appreciate any help...

Yeah I have your ATV's twin. 08 650i in that Bright Blue color. I hadn't seen anything that match's our color, but the good thing is that black looks good w/ blue.

Nice looking quad B2. Think im goin with the ACERBIS Uniko in black, i like the bar end mount style, especially with limited bar handel bar room on the BF's

Post some pics when ya get um. I'd like to have um for winter riding. Next thing I'm gonna get for mine is that front differental lock that High Lifter makes. It's kinda aggrevating holding the front diff in when your shifting side to side in a mud hole.

Have you thought about Moose handguards? They do fit the Brute and IMO have better wind protection.
Just my 2cents

I'm referring to the rear swaybar. What it does is restrict the rear wheels from moving too much in the up and down motion from each other. Which is great for power sliding around corners.
Also makes the rear suspension more solid and tight.

Without the rear swaybar, it lets the rear wheels articulate more. This is handy when travelling on off camber sections of trails or in deep mud when rocking the bike from side to side trying to get the wheels to find some sort of traction.
Since doing this mod to mine I've noticed it does ride better,but a bit off warning.....turn up your rear shocks to the stiffest setting or one down from there and be careful when going around corners at higher speeds.

It is an easy mod to try, taking only about 15min and if you don't like the feel then it is quite easy to put back on. Mine's been off for a year now and will not go back on.
