For the folks that didn't see it on Facebook yet TKI is going to be offering another option for rear tunnel bracing/bumper. Theirs is coming in the form of a complete rear tunnel/bumper replacement unit. The unit consists of side plates, top sheet, and rear hand hold.
What I know after talking to Tom:
-The side plate material thickness is the equivalent of a stock 2018-2019 thin tunnel plus a B&M bumper installed over the top. Since it has the same uniform thickness full-length it should eliminate the weak point near the running board tie-in that some bumpers leave. Of course this means if you really taco one there's a greater chanced the damage will extend into the drop bracket area. So think about how rowdy you really plan to get! lol
-Lengths are going to be the same as stock. Cat tracks already stick out the back as far as the rear bumper so not a lot to be gained in going shorter and running the risk of the track grabbing the tunnel. I believe the plan is to have raw and black powder coat options.
-The rivet spacing along the top is somehow supposed to allow easy integration of the Ski-Doo Linq mounts. Not exactly sure how that works out.
