Electronic Power Shift Kit For ATVs

Electronic Power Shift Kit For ATVs ATV'S ATV'S 22-3-42 A new electronic power shift kit for ATV's makes shifting gears as simple as touching a handlebar-mounted rocker switch, says the distributor, Superior Outdoor Power Center, Superior, Neb. The shifter operates off the ATV battery and fits all popular 4-wheeler ATV's. It consists of a small motor that hooks up to the existing shifting arm on the transmission, a control box mounted next to the motor, and the rocker switch which mounts on the left handlebar. To shift up or down a gear you simply hit the switch. "It eliminates the need to lift your foot up and down all the time in order to shift, which can get really tiring," says Arlen Mickelsen. "However, you can still shift with your foot if you want. This kit can be used on all Honda 4-wheelers, most Yamaha models, and some Suzuki and Kawasaki models. "All electronics are completely enclosed in liquid poured polyurethane so everything is completely water and mud-proof." The mounting kit and components sell for about $360 plus S&H. The company also is offering a poly "deepwell" box that fits on back of any 4-wheeler ATV. The box is 3 ft. wide, 3 ft. long, and 3 ft. deep and has drain ports at the bottom. It fits on top of the ATV's back rack and down behind the rear tires. The box is se-cured by a pair of nylon straps on each side that attach to steel brackets that bolt onto the rack. "It has about 30 percent more capacity than a standard rear rack and keeps materials from sliding off or falling through the rack," says Mickelsen. "It works great for carrying fencing materials. Livestock producers can dump feed into it and use a bucket to feed their animals." The deepwell box is available in black or green and sells for $192 plus S&H. A lid that fits it sells for $72 plus S&H. Also available is a "shallow rack" utility rack that mounts on front of the ATV. It sells for $139 plus S&H. The company's new "bottom draw" poly spray tank for ATV's has a low center of gravity for greater safety, and is designed to drain the tank completely dry. It mounts behind the driver's seat and has baffles on each side, with the tank extending down in front of the rear fenders. Fittings on the bottom of each side of the tank completely drain it. "When you pump out most other ATV spray tanks there's still one to three gallons left in the bottom of the tank, which you have to drain out by hand," says Mickelsen. "This tank sucks the liquid from the bottom to completely drain the tank. The tank is secured to the ATV rear rack by nylon straps. By loosening the straps and disconnecting a quick coupler the tank can easily be removed. The low center of gravity makes the tank safer to use on sidehills. Also, baffles mounted at the bottom of both sections keep the liquid from sloshing from side to side." Fits Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki 4-wheelers and available in 15 and 27-gal. sizes. The 15-gal. model sells for $495 and the 27-gal. model sells for 515. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Superior Outdoor Power Center, 320 N.
