1443 miles on her....

[RBrown]

after putting 1,443 miles on my adv northstar here are my thoughts...
First of all

We ride the shit out of this machine. We use it for overlanding through the backwoods of the northeast
(northwoods_nomads on Instagram) we have taken this machine through as much ALL terrain as possible.

Things to know; the stock brakes suck. I'm used to my Rocks and trails with different gearing that holds back. This machine does not. It should have also came with a gated shifter and pro xp steering wheel as well.
The noise that everyone seems to complain about is simply fixed with clutch weights and 32's. I can easily have a conversation at 40 mph and the radio half way up.
Honestly I have not come across any others problems as of now lol. I can say that I am extremely happy with my purchase, it does exactly what we intended it for.

Go with the Viper gated sifter, I powder coated it to match then seats and love it.. Not sure why the picture shows it a brighter orange. Its much closer to the seat color to the eyes.

Left presque isle went down to machiase and back the first year around 1275 miles. We tented most of the trip and stayed in hotels as well

second year left presque isle and went to Greenville and back around the same miles. Both trips we came back a different trail. It was awesome

That sounds like a hell of a trip! Best way to do it and cover a bunch of ground

We have your twin, 700 miles and have enjoyed it so far. I agree on the brakes!!!
What are your fender flare extensions?

 

[RBrown]

That's awesome!!! We have the OEM polaris fender flares. Definitely helps with the mud

Looks good! Where did you get the rocker switches that match the factory switches? I see the two on the bottom row and the horn switch on the top row.
