The Kawasaki Brute Force ATV was once the single largest ATV available on the market. Being the first, it wasn’t long before other manufacturers decided that bigger was, indeed better, and started upping the ante for Kawasaki. While the Brute Force is still a great machine, there’s still a lot missing from it. Particularly if you are purchasing a new ATV, choosing the right accessories can help make your Brute Force ATV not only the best on the block, but the fastest, coolest, safest machine around. Kawasaki put a lot of thought into making the Brute Force the best, but choosing the wrong accessories will do a whole lot more harm than good.
The first part that should be on any ATV buyers’ checklist is a Warn Winch. These are the undisputed leader in the aftermarket parts field, providing the best quality winches for your machine that are available today. If you’ve seen someone stuck in mud or rolled down a hill, chances are that they were pulled to safety by a Warn winch.
Next on the list are some Kawasaki parts. The best thing about these parts is that you can purchase and have them installed by the dealership before you even walk out the door. You’ll need a winch mount, particularly if you opt for the Warn winch, but optional parts are always more fun. Look for the wireless winch remote control, snowplow kit, and gun holder for all you hunters out there. Also for the hunters, check out the various bags that are available. The best look to be the seat back bag, which incorporates a bit of a backrest for extended riding comfort and features Real tree camo and a plush lining to protect all your favorite gear.
You almost owe it to yourself to pick up a utility bumper for your Brute Force, because chances are you’re going to need it the first time you pound on the gas through that soon-to-be-a-trail that you haven’t forged yet. WWW.partsforatvs.com sells a great front guard for your Quad that is powder coated against corrosion, custom fitted, and features a recessed, protected mounting area for Warn trail lights. At $159.99, this part is practically a no-brainer for its versatility and low cost.
Next on your list of protective parts list is a set of skid plates for the front, center, and rear. Get all three, because you’ll use them. At under four hundred dollars from your dealership, these could also qualify for the no-brainer, but for those of you who like to replace driveline parts, please, by all means, don’t bother with these.
Next, check out www.highlifter.com for their line of parts to put your Brute Force that much closer to heaven. While you’re going to lose some cornering ability, running through mud will never seem easier. While you’re at it, pick up some CV boot guards and wide track spacers which will make the whole package come together.
