We’ve already written plenty about the new Yamaha Viking, but we saw a very cool hunting-themed version at the 2013 American International Motorcycle Expo in Orlando, Fla. that we wanted to share with you.

Kitted out entirely in about $2,000 worth of Genuine Yamaha Accessories, this Viking features a folding windshield, rear window, camo seat covers, bed rail with accessory mounts, gun boot mounts, gun boot with two removable gun cases, bed mat, cargo bed, overfenders and rear grab bar.

Any Yamaha Rhino owners looking for some added protection and style to their rides should be happy to hear about the new eight-piece Rhino Body Kit produced by Yamaha’s Parts and Accessories Division.

The eight-piece collection includes a front bumper guard that mounts to the OE bumper, two-piece wraparound front overfender flares that extend the OE front fenders an additional 4.125 inches, rear overfender flares that add 3.375 inches to the rear fenders, and a shaker-style hood scoop.

“Kind of ironic to introduce these fire extinguisher mounts when we are always telling people to ‘Feel The Heat’ isn’t it,” says Sales & Marketing Manager Brice Ginn. “However when you have too much heat, our new single-pin quick-release fire extinguisher mount makes it possible to cool things off in a hurry!”

DragonFire’s quick release billet fire extinguisher mounts accommodate a standard 2.5-pound fire extinguisher. The lightweight billet mounts come in a choice of black, red or blue anodized finishes for a distinctive look. When it comes to functionality, the single-pin design makes for quick and easy access, even when the pressure is on!
