I wanting to get rid of the stock plastic bumper on my arctic cat and add a aluminum peice and LED light, I've found the leds I want but not a bumper. Does anyone make a bumper and/or tunnel extension that will replace the stock plastic peice?

:eek:

you can make your own, buy an xp rear bumper and cut to fit (17" wide tunnel) or i found you can use an rmk rear bumper just have to stretch it just a bit. i don't know if you can use the 09 m rear bumper and tail light cuz of the 16" tunnel.

What about the van amburg bumper? anyone used it? it says "fits all years"

I want to try to buy a bumper rather then build one because I have plenty of projects going already and pre-fab'd would be quickest.

The Rev and XP bars work good at 1/4 the price of the VE's. Take ya about an hour if you were slow to do the fab work needed. Cut it to length, drill a few holes and install.:beer; Pretty easy stuff!:p

The VE bumpers are good and strong. They are easy to install also. If you like the looks and the price, go for it!:cool:

$45 Rev bumper and some fab work vs $187.00 VE bumper with very little fab work.:confused:

What year Rev/XP bumper? You talked me into it.

The one I used was from an 2004 Rev 800 I think.?

The XP bar should work also, depends which shape you like better. The Rev bar that I used had rounded edges that I liked more than the square tube on the XP bar. And The Rev bar is much stronger than the XP.

This one is made from an old ('93-98ish) ZR front bumper. Same material as Reebs, just we had to cut and bend it ourselves.

The handles are from a Honda Goldwing :D
