Hey Cubbee, I used hose clamps for my Rigid Dually's, (2 per light) I painted them black to blend in, and they have been on for over a year now and I haven't had to tighten or adjust them. And Man that Outty has good Stock head lights ! I was impressed ! and with the LED's it was that much better !
+Maritimer Good to know Maritimer! So far mine have stayed tight too and the bar is quite heavy. Working better than I thought so think I will just leave them as is! The stock lights are pretty good, but they sure look yellow compared to the LED's! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Love how your quad is coming along
+Mw3's Tutorials Thanks, glad you enjoy the Trail Build series
I dont realy like can am but yours just stands out from other canams nice ride
Thanks very much!
Impressed how you installed everything on your outlander and also being generous to share how you install it. I don't have any Atv yet. But I'm guessing I buy one someday soon.
+Michline Al Thanks for checking out the videos and glad you enjoyed them. ATV's are a lot of fun!
i also tied my light bar in with my lights so it will go off with the key too, i made a mount for my light bar using the factory holes in the rack
That's cool can't wait till you finish
+Backwoods Badass Thanks!
Good Vid. Thanks for the helpful hints.I have the 2016
Great video as usual. I purchased a light bar (not Kimpex) for my 2014 Arctic Cat 700 this past spring. Not sure if you are familiar with the Arctic Cat headlights but they suck. When you drive through water/mud, that comes out the top of the headlights and down over the face. Once that happens your night visibility is greatly diminished. I put this bar on and it was the difference between night and day. Only drawback is when you are in a group at night your brights are on the rider in front of you. I keep well back but I need them on at night. Thanks again for sharing this information.
+Graham Milner Thanks for checking out the video Graham! The stock lights on the Can Am aren't bad, but they sure do look yellow next to the LED lights. We put LED's on the Grizzly too as the stock lights weren't great either. Know what you mean about your brights on the rider in front of you...creates a shadow. Appreciate you stopping by!
I love your videos im 11 years old you are so entertaining
+Levi Jones Thanks very much!
Great vid man I find my self saying this every video
+REBEL RIDERS Thanks very much and glad to hear you enjoy the videos!
you will love it at night i have the same one and its better than day time riding!! i also put cube ones in my stock lights those alone pump alot of light! (this is on a yamaha tho)
+NorthernSkeg Does seem to be a nice bright white light...sure lit up the bush! Good idea about replacing the bulbs in the stock lights.
Nice job with the install, that's one awesome light ! Thanks for sharing it with us.
+john colt Thanks for checking out the video, we appreciate it!
I mounted my 10 inch Led the same way and haven’t encountered any problems. I put a cover on the light bar to help protect when not in use
The cover is a good idea...so far no issues with ours either
Nice n thrifty clamp install, good use of the factory relay. Very bright, great clip thx.
Hose clamps are still working like a charm LOL
nice buck. I have a 18 inch lite on truck lights up the woods pretty good, looks like the same make
+finpainter1 Thanks! Cool...amazing how much light they give off isn't it!
Looks like you have the Sun mounted on front! Seems to be a worth while addition, especially when you're trail riding in the dust to dark times.
Thanks.
+Reg Sparkes LOL Yes, let there be light! It gets dark so early in the winter that it will be nice if we want to go for a ride...we will be able to see where we're going LOL Thanks for watching.
Awesome job Cubbee! They are super bright...I can attest to that! LOL!
+Rob Farrow Thanks! LOL "Retina remover"!
Great install Cubbee .. and the light looks good where you mounted IMO !! ... Ummm, maybe I should get me a 14 incher !! WOO HOO !! Anyway, the LED lights sure make night riding fun !! Thanks for shar'in the install !!
+GunnyE9 Thanks for checking out the video Gunny. So far the hose clamp mounts are staying tight and the light is staying solid. Amazing how bright the light actually is...hard to "look into the light" LOL
Everythng is beastly on that Outlander, even the light bar! Go big or go home lol. Beauty lights. Prefer the Rigids you put on the Grizz, still want to do that mod.
+Canesser LOL The bar is a bright one! Probably could have gone with a shorter length, but it seemed like a good size at the time LOL We like the Rigids too, but we have had issues with water getting in them and then they fog up. One quit working for awhile too, but seems to have started working again LOL. The LED's are such a nice bright light compared to the stock ones. Thanks for watching Canesser!
+cubbeezx A beastly light for a beastly ATV lol. Water getting into $250 Rigid Lights? Say it ain't so! Was that from precipitation or submersion? Yes the bright white light is an amazing lumination, a classic deer in the headlights even!
+Canesser Seems to be precipitation or condensation..when they heat up they dry out, but still! At least they are still working though, that is the main thing.
That thing is pretty sweet! Might have to get one too.
+Ajo Riding Crew Thanks for checking out the video. Love our LED lights!
wish you lived in ny I would have paid you to install it on my canam ....you did a nice clean job...
+Angelo Gountas Glad you enjoyed the install..it went quite well!
Use caution when you wash your bike. I put a similar switch on my bike with the Enthuze light bar and when I washed the bike something shorted out and melted the wires going to the switch. There was no fuse supplied for the switch side and it got real hot! I have since replaced the relay and switch with a waterproof one from Pico Canada.
+Richard Doucett Too bad the wires melted! Thanks very much for the tip and for checking out the video.
Holy! Moly! Do they come with sun glasses?😎
They are bright!
Yes! I have a 2019 can-am outlander max XT 850. I haven't done anything to it yet but add a can-am cargo box.
I live here in Colorado Rockies and take it out on hunting and fishing and camping trips.
Nice! You must have some amazing scenery and trails!
Hi Cubbeezx: If i was you i might think about making a Mount for them for use for your Handle-bars, so the light will travel with your Steering.Just a thought
+MrStacygordon Yes, would be nice to have the light bar move with the handlebars. It is a pretty wide beam though so I think it will be ok for how much night riding we do. Thanks for watching!
Your Welcome i always enjoy your Vids
Nice vid! I got a 7.5 inch led light bar on my 1987 Kawasaki 185. 10000000 times better than the original light.
+ThePS3Junkies Thanks, yes the LED's are so much brighter than the stock ones. I agree!
I think 🤔💭 I saw sun 😎 on the deer 🦌😂
looks good
+Bob Freez Thanks!
Can you provide more detail how you wired to the key? How can I find the extra power wire?
Good work cubby
+Levi Jones Thanks very much Levi!
You guys should do a night ride!
+Wildsoul89 We might just have to!
I mean like the whole build
That's nice , now are you going to put tires like that one on the wife 4 wheeler or maybe some VAMPS ?
+timothy mcswain We were looking at the Zilla's on the Grizzly and they are starting to wear....not sure yet what we will replace them with..maybe a new set.
Great installation video Cubbee. I can't wait to get my can am and put my 10 inch Aurora on it and test it out. On my friend's brute force 650 he has a 7 inch one and it sure light's up the road even for that small of one. Also will you be doing a little night riding with it on trails or something?
+Kyle Fitzgerald Hey Kyle! Glad you enjoyed the video. Amazing how much light they put out! It gets dark so early, especially in the winter so will come and handy if we do go out for a little night ride. Thanks for watching.
In a pinch you can be the Lake Wabigoon lighthouse on foggy nights
+sromrell LOL Our very own "lighthouse"!
does the Outlander 1000 come with those wire looms (the ones around the light wires) all around the exposed wires everywhere?
+Robert Grezel The wiring is all neatly bundled from what I can remember.
Sweet Thanks Cubbee! Shes a beast!
the light might be next damn that's bright
The light is BRIGHT for sure!
Why mount the bar protruding from your bumper? The LinQ rack already has mounting holes for an LED where it won't get smashed. Also how come you ran the wire under the plastic exposed to sand/mud/water blasting? You already ran your wire under the rack and above your plastic, go straight under the cover to your relay.. leave it protected and away from the elements.
We sometimes carry a case on the front rack so didn't want anything in the way. Wires are all encased in looming and taped to help keep out the dirt...3 years later and so far so good
How much did all that stuff cost
Great video. How are the hose clamps holding up. Or did you bolt them to the froint bumper?
+Lancer Mccullin Thanks! Hose clamps are holding up awesome. We didn't want to drill holes in the bumper if we didn't have to but never thought the clamps would do as well as they have! Had to tighten them once all year which is amazing considering how much "bouncing" around we do LOL
Cool thanks. I'll do the same to mine.
did you get that winch fixed yet?
+Kirk Nelson Sure did. Sent it away under warranty..something to do with a spring that had to be replaced.
I would like to know what cameras you use when you are out "adventureing"?
+Supperslash We are still using the GoPro Her 3 Black cameras on our helmets. We also have a Sony handheld camera that some of the video is taken with but mainly use it for the pictures. We also have a Garmin Virb Elite for the "bear cam" which we keep on all the time in case an animal runs out in front of us.
How did the hose clamps hold up on the trails?
+PRossford They have worked awesome! Haven't budged an inch and we've given them a good workout these past few months.
+cubbeezx ok thanks I'll have to try this when my bar comes in.
Hey cubbeezx just wondering how many atv's you have and what models
+joel dowling We have 5 I guess...a 1986 Honda TRX 350, a 1997 Yamaha Big Bear 350, a 2011 Yamaha Kodiak 450, a 2011 Yamaha Grizzly 700 and a 2015 Can Am XT 1000
What one would you recommend for a beginner
+joel dowling The Kodiak is a great ATV...the 450 has lots of power but very stable.
Does Kempex still offer the same box you put on the can am?
It was still showing in their last catalogue Bob so believe they still do. Boxes are still going strong after 6+ years (on the Grizzly/kodiak)!
2nd view and first comment! Awesome vid!
+Benjamin Kenney Thanks for watching and commenting!
Always!
What video editor do you use cubbeezx
+abnsoulja1 We use Final Cut Pro X for the Mac
You should put a snorkle on it
+Jacob Goos No plans to snorkel at this time..we were doing some water wheelies today though LOL
.oh and do the winches work?
+Backwoods Badass Yes, got the winch back all fixed up. Everything is on it for now but if we add anything in the future we'll be sure to post an update video.
I just bought a audio tube for my Honda
+Backwoods Badass Nice!
i put a 23" 5d lens light bar on my 16 arctic cat mud pro
Very nice!
let me tell yeah that sucker is BRIGHT! i like the way you mounted yours right on the front looks good cubbee
Love the brightness of the LED Light bars! thanks very much!
BAM !!!!
Thanks for watching!
great video !!! very useful !!!
Claudio Araneda
Thanks!
how much was it???
+Bob Freez The Kimpex catalgoue has the 14" at $249.99 CDN
+cubbeezx that's awsome for the amount of stuff that c9mes with it.
+Bob Freez Yes I know..came with a wiring harness and switch which was a bonus!
Call me crazy but for some reason I'd rather have a brute force 750 than a can am 1000. And I'm more of a can am and yamaha fan than anything.
+edward wells Everyone has a preference. Lappe Man's 650 Kawasaki is a great ATV.
First
0:00 - 0:14 what's that song please?
+Gostcut Gaming The first one is called "Trancer" from the UA-cam Audio Library by Gunnar Olsen. The second one is "Get There" from the UA-cam Audio Library (Silent Partner)
+cubbeezx thanks for the help
talk about bright.
+The WildX _X_ Yes, it sure is! Pretty hard to look at!
Motovan :-)
+RAHMX145 Thanks for watching!
