2-Up Pro?

[longlugs]

So I have buddy who bought a 600 Pro for winter access to his cabin which is located two miles down an unplowed dirt road. He's not an experienced off-trail rider, so he's not familiar with the fragile tunnel on the Pro's. Either way, he wanted a way to get his wife back with him to the cabin. The local Polaris dealer sold and installed the two-up contraption pictured below (there is a seat that attaches to the frame). I told him he needs to be REALLY careful with a second rider on the sled. I personally would't take the chance. What do you guys think?

If he wanted a 2up why did he buy a pro? Guess a lot depends on the size of the little woman...

She small, probably a buck or so - but still.

All that for 2 miles of trail?

Just have her sit in front, with him standing behind.

Have him lookup ISLED on facebook. They build a bumper that goes all the way past the front tunnel support and would reinforce that entire area for pretty cheap.

I have a new Polaris RMK 600 and there is weight restrictions posted on the tunnel. Not only my sled, but my boyfriends new RMK Pro 800. I can't remember the weight restrictions, but it wasn't a lot of weight. Meaning maybe a tunnel bag and a gas can of sort.

That seems risky too me?

Tunnel supports or not, seems like a lot of weight. I'm especially concerned about tweaking it torsionally. Does anyone know what sled the actual seat "add on" is designed for?

without going out to look at the sticker, I was thinking it was 15lbs.

Says its not compatible with RMK's?

Its so much easier to ride double with the person in front of you. Big or small

Probably cause of the 15 lb max rating

The boarders around here always ride tandem, one runs the brake the other runs the throttle. It gets pretty tiresome, much easier to throw someone on the front, basically can go anywhere doing that, just have try not to bounce their head off the mountain bar doing a cornus drop.

the 11' and 12 pro have a much larger seat, easily fit someone behind you. I wouldn't worry about the tunnel buckling that far forward, better off ditching that abortion and putting some timbersled tunnel reinforcement plates with the 12' seat. Honestly how could you sell that to someone with a straight face??
