You do have one, right?
Some states require it. Some do not. Regardless of the laws of the state you ride in, you should have one.

It doesn't seem to be an issue with most ATVs, but it has been known to be an issue with RZRs.
Will it be an issue with the ACE? I don't know. But I will be prepared if it comes up.

Mine is mounted behind the seat on the little shelf above the engine access panel.
It is strapped in snugly with a double-sided Velcro strap wrapped around it, and protected from bouncing around by foam weather stripping.
I have about 4 inches of overlap in the Velcro strap, and a little red tab on the end to make it easy to pull if needed.
I melted the Velcro hooks off of the back of the red tabs so it cannot stick. Those tabs will always be loose.
I can get the extinguisher out fairly quickly without loosening the Velcro or moving the seat forward.
I can easily see the gauge to check that it has not lost pressure while standing next to the ACE.

$18 - Extinguisher
$10 - Roll of Velcro strap (I used about 2ft of it, have 10ft left for other projects)
$5 - [Optional] Package of red Velcro straps (I used two of them, 4 remaining)
Can't remember how much I paid for the roll of weather stripping once upon a time.

Perfect spot for it!!

Thanks! I'm thinking of turning the thing around so the handle is on the right side.

The benefit of turning it around would be to have the spout facing down so it does not collect grit and water, and the handle up so it is not in danger of getting bent/broken by the seat if it wiggles too much.
The drawback of doing so is that it would be harder to see the gauge since I enter the vehicle on the left, and also if I pull it out, I'll most likely be pulling from the left.
It's also easier to avoid getting the handle caught on the seat belt if I pull it out handle-first.

I guess I can just exit the vehicle on the right if I need to use it. That eliminates the seat belt as an obstruction anyway.

Looks good. Does your seat go all the way back without hitting it?

 

[Scoundrel]

Yes. As pictured above, the back of the seat would touch the end of the handle if I shoved the top of the seat really hard. But now that I have reversed it for the reasons stated above, it does not contact at all.

The extinguisher I used is a "Kidde 1-A:10-B:C Recreation Fire Extinguisher", good for handling paper/wood, flammable liquids, and electrical fires. This one is a 5-lb unit. I'd like to carry 2, but the ACE is somewhat lacking in good places to mount things.

Saw this great idea for fire extinguisher mounts on an ACE yesterday.
The bracket is bolted through the firewall panel.

I have the same extinguisher as the last photo and I have mounted it horizontal on the top cross bar, above the rear window. Used 2 - 2" hose clamps to mount it and it is under the roof so it is out of the weather. Going to buy another just like it for the Rzr. Found them at the local hardware store for $8.95 and the clamps are $1.06, so for $$11, it is cheap insurance.

Where did you get that Tusk mount from?

Pro Armour from Summit Racing. Not the best pic, but gives you an idea.

Cride1 I noticed you have the Moose roof, is that narrower than the Polaris roof? I like that roof better than the Polaris one because it is flat but wondering if it is as functional.

Anyone here using FireAde 2000 maybe?

I just saw that product when I was searching for fire extinguishers and it`s hard to find reviews for it.

I can't comment on it's width compared to the Polaris roof, but I think it is a bit narrower. I have had it out once with the roof and I like it. I also like the look of the flat roof rather than the molded roof. I will tell you that the holes weren't perfect and I had to make one side a little longer.
