B&M Fabrications rear bumper install (How to)

First, this install is very straight forward and the bumper was a perfect fit making the job even easier. The "lip" or "radius" support is definitely needed on the Pro/Axys chassis, I've done a number to this area on all my sleds and noticed I even bent the lip near the stock bumper on my first few rides. Well designed/fabricated product!

So, here goes...

1. Take off the stock bumper by removing the four bolts (two per side).

2. Drill out the two rivets on the "lip" as shown below:



3. Drill out one rivet on tunnel side:



4. Install supplied bolts though stock holes. Nuts should be on the outside:



5. Install three rivets though stock tunnel/bumper holes:



6. Back-drill though holes from removed rivets (steps 2 & 3) through bumper (running board lip hole not shown):



7. Secure rivets through these three holes:



Repeat process on other side - done! No more worries about the weak rear tunnel.

Good write up! Thanks for sharing the pics. Did you order the custom color or did you have it powder coated? I stopped by their shop a couple months ago. I was very impressed with their products. Very well made, strong yet light, impressive welds, great value for the protection offered as well. I tried buying one then, but they were still making them and wouldn't sell one until they were perfected. I can live with that. I guess I better get on the phone!

It's their light blue (BL05) color option. It's close to Polaris Voodoo blue.
