    Hey, YFZ owners!

    I have decided my YFZ needs some love. I ride it when my Z’s are down. (Which is always.) I want to do a few things to it but I have not been in the game for a while. I bough this thing new in 2005 and I have barely broken it in. I really have no desire to make it faster, just nicer and more efficient. I have pasted my wish list, on it I have itemized the things I want to upgrade or add. What I am looking for is help in identifying the brands or actual parts I am looking for. I would also like to know who sells them. I may not know who makes and sells what, but I do know I want very specific parts. So, if you all do not mind, I sure could use some help.


    Oh yeah, this is not something I am going to start throwing money at right now. By the time I get home I want the list complete, and then I will start buying this stuff.

    ill try to help you out, I have used all these on mine.

    1. DG V-Pro bumper, very durable and looks sharp.
    2. PRM control grab bar, beefy and makes it very easy to pick up.
    3. Gibson nerfs, work great, look great.
    4. GYTR heel guards, look good and do there job damn well.
    5. Pegs are part of the nerfs, real wide, and very nice upgrade.
    6. Cycra hand guards, protect you hands very well and are strong.

    frame

    1. -
    2. DG laser plate, works great.
    3. ROCK skid plate, TAKES ABUSE, still works.
    4. -

    perf.

    1. I have an HMF and love it. dasa, rage, and nmotion are all great too.
    2. I use the stock intake.

    tires

    1. Hyper beadlocks are pricey but damn nice.
    2. I use holeshot GNCCs, they have great grip, but ware a little fast, not bad though.

    Most all of these things can be found at rockymountainatv.com except the nerfs and rims I believe. If you go to YFZcentral.com they have a bunch of sponsor sites that have good prices and you can find most anything mentioned here for the yfz. Sorry I missed a couple things but I never used them so I cant comment. Hope this helped some.

    Thanks. I will look into those parts. A couple of things I should have mentioned. I nerfs, bumper, and grab bar in satin black. That is one problem I have had. I do not want the shiny black.

    Here is my YFZ.

    Grab bar can be powder coated any color including flat black on there website, you can get the DG bumper in flat black also. I just remembered gibson dosent make the nerfs anymore, but xfactor is the same exact thing as the gibsons. They also come in flat black. Cant go wrong with flat black!

    Thanks. What about polimer or impact resistant skids? I read about them a while back but cannot find them now.

    Hey Brapp, I did not see those photographs before. I guess the computer I was on would not open them. That quad is nice, but for me it is over built. I want black and yellow everything on mine. No shiny.

    Thanks for the head up Skippy.
