I guess it’s more like above the radiator. Anyway just drill holes for the mounting bolts is all you need to do.

Radiator heat hasn’t bothered it?

It may Not look like it but it is just about 5 inches above the radiator.

Hey everyone;
I reside in the great North above the 49th in BC Canadastan. Just purchased a new 2021 camo Viking and am eagerly awaiting its arrival in January. It was a long search time to find what I wanted that was available somewhat near me. Have to make a 4.5 hours one way trip to get it but it is what it is. Looking forward to picking everone's brains as this is my first sxs. Have had many quads in the past but back issues have forced me to make the switch.

Hi neighbour. Northern BC guy myself. I think you’ll be really happy with the Viking. I certainly am. Missing out on all the best use of the year right now waiting on a clutch sheave and wet clutch slug kit from JBS so I’m a little down on the old girl at the moment but it’ll come around once it’s back together. I’ve got the original lol 2014 EPS SE

Hello Everybody,
We bought our 2019 Viking VI Ranch Edition this Spring. It had a 2" Highlifter installed and tall 14" car tires. Drivers side tire rubbed a hole in the fender. Looking for a different size with more of an off-road tread. Hate the windshield, it's a flip-up design with two big plastic knuckles right in my line of sight. It's got to go! I've added a 3500 lb KFI winch. Already needed it once. We've ridden the trails in Wisconsin and IL. Having a blast with it.

Hey fellas, purchased a Viking vi Ranch today will be here on Saturday. Coming from Wisconsin to Michigan on the ferry. Can't wait to take the family out on some long sunday afternoon drives before my oldest graduates HS this year. Really wished I could have afforded to have done this years ago but now I can. Better late than never they say. looking to gain some good knowledge from this crowd. I also have a lifted Ford Explorer on 37's as my off road toy. Michigan winters will be fun again with this Viking added to the stables.

Welcome to the forum from another Michigander! I thought I heard the ferry that runs out of Muskegon was out of commission for awhile? Or are you coming across on the Ludington ferry? Your going to love your Viking in the winter especially if you put a snow plow on it. What part of Michigan are you from?

It's coming across on the Badger. I had one on order from Platinum in Rockford since April and a dealer in Appleton had 2 come in in 3 weeks and my current order in Rockford kept getting pushed back. I took a dose of suck it up and paid extra to get it so I can have it ready for a family trip in 3 weeks to the UP.
I live in the Newaygo area.

I live in the Morley area so not to far from you. I got my Viking from Platinum last year in August just before they got hard to find. The UP trip sounds fun. Be safe.

So after hitting a traffic jam heading down to meet my wife for my boys soccer game and me having to be abandoned and not making it to the soccer game, I decided to go to Ludington Friday night to pick the Burnt Orange bangbus up.
Pulled up in time to see it being unloaded. Felt like a kid waiting for his dad who left him for a few months. Now I have empty pockets.
Currently at 93 miles of nice easy break in driving.
