Been there done that.
Made a SLIGHT difference. Not enough to justify the work.
Not that it's much work to cut the side panel and install, but I didn't see any difference.
The number 1 thing for the deep snow, right side bog on these is Jetting.
It must be spot on.
And even at that it will still do it from time to time.
The second thing is you must know the situations its going to happen. And when you are getting to the situation you need to know how to get out of it.
Example, you know for a fact if you are going downhill with 2foot of fresh, and you want to lay it into the hill and roll it around to the right and climb back up the hill. You have better have it tapped out before you stuff the right side deep in the snow and bury the hood and everything else. It will pull right through if you have it wound up.
Just have to forsee those times and ride around it.
Now if you are looking for a really nice bottom dump can I have an HPS that is like brand new, maybe 5 rides, $175. plus shipping.
