Thinking about trying a set of B & M Fab. Any feedback on pros/cons of different board options you have tried is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Best Running Boards for keeping snow off?
- Thread starter Mr. Pump Gas
- Start date
Love my B&M boards! Ran Skinz for years and once I went B&M I never looked back... You will not be disappointed in them! Only boards that raise the toe hook to keep you from having ankle or knee injuries caused by you foot getting caught in the small stock toe hold.

I got the skinz shorty boards and im never gonna run them again.
Horrible matte paint that snow/ice sticks onto.
Fitment was also like the rest of my experience with skinz. Pretty shiet!!
Only positive thing is their plastic "cleats" that is better then coldkutters.

I also have the Skinz Shorty boards on my '16, and after having B&Ms on my '11 I would go back to B&M in a HEARTBEAT. The snow sticks to the Matte really bad on the Skinz boards. I don't know how Skinz let these boards out with this finish on them, the solution is to strip them and powdercoat them in a gloss finish. I wasn't happy with how the rear mounting of the boards fit up to the rear suspension brackets (and I saw at least 3 more sets that didn't line up worth a damn there either). The plastic cleats are nice for giving a nice color contrast and seem like not a ton of snow builds up on the cleats. The Traction screws are so hard on your boots but with how much I have to kick my matte Skinz to get the snow off I would say there isn't much difference in boot destruction.

This is like asking what flavor ice cream do you like best!!! IMO I think that the stock Axys boards (Burandt) are great for shedding snow but will hang your foot if not careful how you ride them! I put the Everett Ankle savers on my sled and the best of all worlds IMO only!

I am in favor with the B&M boards.. Dependant where you desire to place your screws, is how much they chew on your boots.. AKFULLTHROTTLE had a great placement pattern that he shared with me on my install, and it works great!!
Snow shedding on the B&M is not 100% but 100% better then the stock or the Burandt boards I had prior.. ( Same FLAT pattern as stock just a bit thicker-and still a toe grabber to get you hung up on
)
I went with the semi gloss on 1 of my 2 sleds- and flat on the other, and the semi seems to shed better that the flat coating..FWIW.

Thanks guys! B & M it is....
Just got some b and m' s on my sled
Ak, do you mind directing me to that traction pattern, thanks
Man! Thanks guys! Love the kind words. As far as screw placement, we send a 100 with but on an axys you only need 25 per side. The pictures on our site only have 25 in each board as well. They are hard on boots but offer the traction we are after.
