Ok guys so this weekend i was drift busting and was wheelying, and i broke the carbon fiber piece and one of the aluminum pieces. So i need a new one by next weekend. The cheaper the better. I think the Skinz ones are ugly, but i really like the TB Racing ones except their pricey and probably wouldn't arrive for a week or two. I was thinking a Cat bumper but i thought they would run half way up the running boards on my 155"...is this true? And if so, does it get in the way?
Thanks alot guys.

You can trim the cat ones to what ever length you want

well you could always just cut it a bit if you dont want it that far up...but IMO you should get the skinz because it gives it more renforcement so its a lot harder to bend the tunnel...I'm just waiting for mine to break so I can put a skinz on and i like how they are tiltted up...oh and its a cleaner look then the cats

I run the cat bumper, no cutting necessary. Runs all the way back to the back foot pegs, so it actually adds strength to the tunnel too. Probably the cheapest alternative.

My Polaris dealer had new andonized aluminum bumpers to replace the carbon put one on this season with two new brackets. Nice grooves in the bumper as well for grip 100$

does anyone have a picture of a cat bumper on a pro?

162 Cat bumper. Cut it down about 6-7" and installed four 1/4" rivet nuts on each side so it bolts on, instead of riveted on.

Thanks for the picture that does look fairly clean, mines a 155 so probaby have to cut a little more off

Likely, but it's all personal preference. Figure out how far back you want the bumper to extend past the tunnel and cut off the rest. IMHO, bring the sides right up to the reinforcement plates on the tunnel.

Alright, thanks guys. Ordered a TB but the bumper's dimensions were way off. Think I'm gonna pickup up a cat bumper now.
