Okay, good day there I live in the Arctic my company's head office is in Winnipeg and we are a Honda dealer and BRP dealer we had three 2020 Foremans and sent up on our sea lift, a rubicon and 2 regular trx 520s. I took them out of their crates I've already made sure all bolts are torqued properly that we're already in, pump up the tires cleaned them, tested the electrical and I'm now getting ready to do the final assembly that is needed oh, I really all there is is the skid plate and two parts that I can't for the life of me figure out what they're for just plastic pieces there's a picture of them can any of you tell me what they are supposed to be note my mind just isn't working and I can't even figure out where they would go and they're probably something obvious just I'm running on 4 hours of sleep most nights so I am stunned on this one and I'm putting these together on my break from running a store, I was kind of thrown into this role since I'm the one with some mechanical aptitude I just can't right now figure this out and it's because I'm working 14 hour days I'm still trying to get all these put together before people purchase them and with my kids and all.

Well we'll find out very very shortly you gave me more information than my Motorsports division in Winnipeg could. Just getting ready to go out now and see if I can find the holes they lock into now that I know at least the area I'm looking at but you just getting me looking in the right area is more help than I've been able to get so far. Like I said between tinkering with one of the engines and everything else I just haven't had much time and my mind she just ain't working

haha..i'll help you a tad more, those brackets should bolt up to the front spindle, which is where your disk brake disk is, should be two bolt holes split apart, kinda in a Y shape ?, the plastic guard that also bolted to the spindle looks to also have this bracket attached to the spindle as well ?. either in the front top and front lower of spindle ?, or the top rear and lower rear of the spindle ?. it looks to me they go on the front of the spindle in the fich on the inside front top and inside lower area.

Well they are all on the bikes I do have to go back under the Rubicon and put two more bolts in the skid plate didn't end up getting that done because while I was under its Rubicon somebody shot a shotgun at the sea canister. Also at some great swear words for Honda while doing this seeing are you had to take the a arm guards at the pre-assembled off to put those on otherwise it there's no room to do anything. One of the spindles had to be WD-40 and left to sit for a while as it was so full of rust you couldn't even get the screws in the holes sadly that's the problem sending these things up vyas sealift salt water and bare metal isn't always great.

Thank you again, my Motorsports division still had not responded to me and we sold one of them yesterday so it had to be put together and finished and the Rancher that just flew in have to be done by the weekend when the guy that bought it gets back from vacation but now it's all done
