Had 5 RZR's prior to getting my new xPedition Northstar and it is fantastic compared to running open air buggies. In fact, I am really impressed with the power and ride, as compared to my RZR 1000xp turbo. A bit noisier, but my wife and I wear Cardo headsets and it really is a pleasure compared to my previous rugged radio combination as well as covering the noise. Since we can ride on the roads here, I installed wireless signal lights to handle the legal street requirements. They are 20% of the cost of wire type signal lights and work just as good, since you rarely use them. LED, with chargeable batteries. Work great. I all so purchased a spare and wheel and attached it to the Polaris lock and ride system using standard carriage bolts. See them at Polaris Wheel & Tire Spares - atvs, utvs, snowmobiles - by owner - vehicle automotive sale - craigslist .

Welcome! +1 on the Cardo’s they work well for us as well. I actually wired up a Packtalk Edge on my Bose Quiet comfort headphones so I get good music audio and active noise cancellation.

Great idea to use the wireless signal lights! Are these the lights that you used?

Welcome. Im in Havasu during the winter and Williams for the summer. I have an orange ADV Norhtstar. I've been using Just Money to do most of my work and they are great.

Yes, I was able to buy them without the horn, which I did not want.

I had to jury rig the way I attached them but once I figured it out, they work great. I also put the remote "on/off" switch on the drivers-side grab bar. Again the ones I bought are the same without the horn, got them on Amazon.

I have used Just Money previously on my RZR Turbo and have been happy with them. I had my windows tinted at Ace Window and glass, did you?

Added some handy accessories to hold my headsets and cell phone.

ddeyoung, where'd you get the phone holder and how's it worked out for you? Want to get one, but don't want to deal with junk that keeps falling off the dash. Thanks.

Disregard I just put 1 and 1 together. I'm a little slow.

Polaris sells a phone mount made for the dash of the Xpedition, it works great.

The RAM mount that Polaris sells is top notch

B B · Apr 9, 2024

Read a lot of complaints about the tether ripping. Did you experience this, do you even use it or need it?

BADXP · Apr 9, 2024

Throw the tether in the trash - it is not needed. We use the Ram in all of our rides and really like them. Very stable and solid while allowing for a lot of adjustment.

Icehog · Apr 10, 2024

I haven’t used the tether, it’s good without.

Sticks on dash have had no issues in rough rides, bought on Amazon for $10, put magnet back on cell phone and it hasn't come off in the roughest of rides. Been using it for 4 months now on multiple rides. Works like a charm for me.
