Well guys.
I just got an 87 Warrior.
When these machines first hit the a market, I had real hard-on for 1, but that was then and this is now.

Really a Warrior is not the machine I should have for what I use it for.
I am a cheap SOB and got his machine for next to nothing. It runs great, just needs all new bushings and bearings.

I basically use the machine for a week per year at the hunt camp and MAYBE a couple of afternoons of bush-trail riding.

When I am heading out for a 4 hour stand in the bush, I dont like to get all wet and covered in mud.
I WILL be making some sort of setup/fender extensions to keep myself dry.

After all my rambling, here is the main question.
Has anyone easily (and cheaply) retrofitted plastic from another machine that will provide a lot more debris protection?

Another other tips, tricks or relevant info provided would be appreciated as well
Thanks
 
the only plastic mods i know of that people have done to warrios is YFZ fenders and Raptor 350 plastic..and neither are going to provide more coverage..
 
The only thing I can come up with right now is to take a look at the plastics on a yamaha wolverine. They may be close to the same size. You would definitely have to make mounts for them, but these machines are close to the same size at least.

I don't know where you'd buy them anymore, but I have seen warriors with fender extenders before, basically a big mud flap that goes around the edge of your plastics.

Have you rode it much with the stock plastics though? I have mine widened 6 inches in the front and 4 in the back so my tires stick way out past the fenders compared to stock, and I still don't get that muddy when I ride. The most I usually get is muddy boots from the front tires and maybe a little bit of mud or water slung onto my elbows. Unless I go splashing through the puddles at high speeds, which will get you wet and muddy on any quad. I never had mine as narrow as a stock one, but I would think that mud wouldn't be much of an issue. As far as sport quads go you're not going to find one with better fender coverage than the warrior.
 
No I haven't done much (any) riding on this.
Got the machine Friday, got 5 foot snow drifts yesterday.
I did test drive it out the farmers lane where I got it (last week) and was covered in muddy gravel spray.
Where I hunt is all mud trails and waterholes.
This machine needs some serious work, and I figure I will add mud flaps to the front and some polycarbonate extensions to the rear. I basically had done this to my ATC 200X and it worked extremely well. The Warrior isn't going to be as straight forward as the 200X was.
 
Just rivit some rubber extentions around the sides and below the front, on the back extend the rubber behind and below.
