The "root beer brown metallic" is pretty cool also. Almost black in the shade, but in the sunlight it pops

They have 1 that color in the Drive 2 brochure and it does look good!

Bought mine today. Adding 3 inch Jake lift, rims and tires, turn signals, back seat, chair holder on back and custom steering wheel. Color is bluestone. Super quiet.

Keep us updated on the jakes 3" lift. I don't see how the solid rear axle 3" lift kit will fit the new geometry of the IRS rears ends. Unless jakes has come out with something new in the past week or so.

Did the 2016's have independent rear suspension? They had some of those lifted. Hope they don't mess mine up by rigging a way to lift it. I'll call tomorrow and let you know.

The 2017 drive2 model is the first ever fleet cart to have IRS technology for a more plush ride quality. Yeah keep us posted please.

I think you are going to have to wait on the lift and turn signals. Lift kits are not out yet. Some have been using bushings to make pre 17 lift kits work but I would not feel safe with that myself. Yamaha has not released the turn signal/brake light kit yet. I am still waiting on my windshield to come in even.

Hmm. We have new '17s, they have the full light system with turn signals & stuff. As far as aftermarket goes, China will have to figure out their light kit junk as time goes on. For lift kits, I would wait to see what comes. I wouldn't even try rigging a previous style lift kit on it, the new cart frame is so different. I wouldn't even talk to someone who said they're gonna try to rig the prior system to fit the new frame. That will be a problem you don't want to live with.

Totally agree with you on the lift kit but there is a dealer modding the old ones. My 17 came with lights but no turn lever and no brake lights. Can that be added now?
