I see there is a power plug near the front rack on the 85 BR's...This got me thinking about mounting a small power inverter or some other type of electric accessorie...
What do you think?

What extras did you put on your BR?

I was thinking of a winch as well..You can find them cheap...and you can always FIND a reason to use it :)

I have never seen a spedo on a BR ATC...I know it was an option...Whats your top speed? I plan on getting a winch but using it for many things on the property not just getting un-stuck...

Speedometers are pretty rare, cool feature to have. I am planning on adding a winch and heated grips to my 250ES.

remember the larger tire size will change the accuracy of the speedo

I have a beverage holder, I converted the factory accessory plug to a cigarette lighter type and I have an LED map light that plugs into it, rack bag with coolers built in, an air compressor in the trunk with tire repair kit, a deer spotting light and camping supplies in the rack bag, a set of mitt type hand warmers, tubular steel hand guards (the mitts won't fit over them :( ), and a Cycle Country plow! Mine is no beauty queen, but she's all utility! I need better rear tires (Buckshot Mudders suck) and maybe some chains for plowing... I'll make her pretty some day!

Heated grips...nice...Ill be doing those by next fall! Im not sure my BR can do 50mph with me @ 6' 200 lbs and the turfbuster tires. It seems geared too low as well.. im thinking mine does more like 45 tops? Ill gps it soon and post my MPH. I was also thinking of modding the trunk to make it into more of a usable cooler/storage trunk :)

Soda pop holder is a great idea :) and I like cig lighter type hook up! It gives you a lot of options... nice.
Im going to do those for sure...

I converted mine to a cig lighter, have barkbuster hand guards and maier plastics on them, gun rack, modified front rack for my winch, plow, 2" reciever hitch, and a hitch rack for hauling my auger/portable ice house, that also does my deerstand... 1.5" spacers. Here is a link to a similar thread from awhile back... http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthread.php?103605-Big-Red-250-Es-Accessories-show-Yours/page4&highlight=big+red+accessories

and the hand guards... they're universal, they work well and are a good match for the BR

I tossed on a set of dual 35W halogen moose utility lights to replace the front headlight. Gun Scabbard for deer season, 1" 7/8 ball for trailer towing. How do you guys mount the winch without it pulling off the front rack? I've been thinking about getting one to put on there, but wasn't sure if it would just rip off the front rack if I mounted it there.

The oem front rack is pretty tough... Originally I had mad a plate that just mounted the winch and fairlead to the 4 tabs on the factory rack... I reinforced mine, get pretty hard on it with the plow and pulling my buddies outlander out of the mud... (no nice racks were harmed, I took a really beat to crap one to cut and modify) Doesnt have my gun rack on it in this picture yet...

I mounted a light out back wired to a switch on the dash. Also made a rack for my ice auger. It mounts to the front rack. Plan on some wheel spacers and a winch in the near future. Maybe a set of bars like the ones Thorpe's got. Those look cool.http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz177/mtsnieg/Big%20Red/SAM_0123.jpg

Hey...if you ever decide to part with the speedo setup on your BR, let me know!

Nice pics...slushy down your way to? We're just getting the rain here now...tonight into tomorrow. Shoveled off my roof 2 days ago...glad I did it because the snow was up to my waist. Didn't want to see my garage roof collapse! Was just getting into the snowmobile season, and now it did this...man it sucks.

All the best!
