I think you and I ,,,,,,, AND our wives are distantly relatedYou broke the golden rule "Happy wife, happy life" I've spent decades training my wife to get her to the point that she usually encourages me to buy the best one I'm looking at. She now says if you don't you'll end up selling it for half of what you paid for it and buy the one you should have bought in the first place...........and she's right!
You indeed could do it cheaper but their kit includes a custom fit powder coated plate, a well designed wiring harness, and a higher quality battery . That's worth a little extra.Install is easy. It's a nice kit. I'm sure you could do it cheaper but I'm happy with it.
Mine is at the dealer, I keep getting low battery emailsI havn't gotten the polaris app message about my battery since installing it. I used to get it any time i turned the key to accessory.
