07-09 front end swap??

[curtisbirg]

Hey,
I have an 07 600 rmk 155 and want to put the 09 front end on it. Just wondering if the kit that polaris sells (Polaris Kit part #2876986). I know it says someplace on here it will work but I just wanna comfirm it does. If anyone has done this to an 07 and can confirm it works that will solve my problem.

Thanks

I don't have the parts numbers in front of me but we put the 09 update on an 07 IQ RMK. It replaced all of the two side fenders..the front belly plastic...the hood latch...the bumber (metal now). We also did the 09 rear suspension rails from ICE AGE and have left to install the 09 a arms and the new style sway bar...to complete the update. It's much narrower in the nose and seems to go through the snow even better then before. For sure just replacing the crappy plastic bumper was a huge plus...already had to replace the metal one once but it didn't hurt any of the fenders or hood so that was worth the change over in one incedent.

here are some pictures next to an 09

That should be a Raw chassis that doesnt have a front rad. The Polaris kit is a direct fit for your sled. It comes complete with all body parts, bumper, rivets and all fasteners.

no radiator

No it doesn't have the front radiator

I'm interested in some of the take off parts, specifically left fender and left lower a-arm.

broken parts

the reason i am doing the swap is cuz all the plastic is broken and I am not planning on swapping out the a-arms

I put the 2009 Holz front on my 2007 just fine. Does anyone know if the 2009 Polaris sway bar will work on my 2007 with the 2009 Holz front (essentially the 2009 Polaris front end)?

What is the price difference in the holtz kit and the Polaris kit? What do the two kits have that are differnt

 

[curtisbirg]

plastic

I guess I should have mentioned I am just planning on replacing the plastic and still using the factory a-arms and stabilizer bar.

i put the 09 kit on my 06 900 166 dragon and it fit great , already had removed radiator . it has a great look

Who has the best pricing on the '09 kit?

 

[coolx2]

Most prices for the kit are around $500.00. I was able to get mine from my dealer for 450.00. Sled looks alot better with the new plastic and bumper.

Does anybody have links to where you can look at these kits and prices? Looking to switch over my 06 900 this summer.

The 09 swabar will work just fine but you will have to use the 09 plastic as well. There isnt room for the 09 swaybar using the 08 or older plastic.

Thanks, I could have learned that one the hard way.

'09 swaybar

I have an '07 and just broke my swaybar and I was thinking of upgrading.

Has anyone put on the '09 swaybar andwhat was the price for the kit/how much work? (I already have the '09 front end plastic/bumper.)

Is it actually a better swaybar(the '09 vs the '08 and earlier setup)? I feel if I broke this one,, if the newer one is a lighter set up, I would probably break that one as well? Any input?

Curtisbirg,
I did this conversion on this exact sled last week. Sure like the looks of the narrower front end not to mention the stronger bumper.

Babbitt's has the entire kit for $409.

I'd buy this one
