SWEET !

I want one of those seats! did you by chance get a weight of the wrp seat vs the stock seat?

INSANE

Have you thought about going with a titanium bolt kit? Build looks great.

No turkey burgers here lol I love the pink and eat my steaks still moo-ing!

Here's some pics of the a-arms. From a just by feel test the WRP lower than stock seat is for sure a little lighter than the stock 13' seat. I'll have an exact weight difference # soon.

No TI bolt kit here wayne. I tossed it around a bunch in my head but most of the kits were to replace full areas of stock stuff and I just don't have many stock things left, and piece by piece was annoying to shop for, not to mention SPENDY!!!

YO...Diddy.

Can you do us a favor and take a pic of the stock seat laying upside down on top of the WRP seat with the front of the seat even???

Which seat is shorter in Length??

Thanks!!!

Here's the photo of the seats you requested. The WRP is for sure slightly longer, but what I think are benefits are weighs less, is much lower, and tapers the sides the whole length of the seat.

Curious why you didn't choose the skinz freeride seat? It's lighter and shorter than both of those seats.

Your right the Skinz freeride seat is lighter and shorter, it's a nice seat for sure. I chose the WRP seat because it's only 1.05 lbs heavier than the skins(still saves you 2.25 lbs over stock), costs $100 less, and the fact that it tapers back up towards the rear doesn't leave you with that oh I'm constantly sliding off the seat feeling I get on the skinz.

Here's some photos of stock, 13', WRP low seat so people can see weight differences. I was surprised Polaris only saved .6lbs going to the 13' style seat!

Ice age rear axel, when are they going to start selling that to the public?

 

[snopromod]

That's sexy!!

when are they going to make a drive shaft for the pro that looks like this!!

As far as I know they should be selling these now. When I got mine a few weeks ago it had just come out of machining and that's why it hadn't been anodized yet. Fit is spot on and there seems to be a nice weight savings. Feel free to give them a call if your interested in getting your hands on one, !!

S.Diddy- thanks on the 155 track. Your build is looking epic.

Awesome post.

I love the 146" tunnel sticker.

Can't wait to see this sled in boondockers X

 

[trebsdub]

Just seen a picture of the rearranged front end. Ouch . What happened.

 

[WyoD Unregistered]

Nice. I've thought a lot about throwing a 146 on mine.

Any updates ?

 

[mountainhorse]

HMM...

Well that couldn't have gone any worse. Out for a cruise with some Polaris sales peeps and I barely make it off the trail before removing half my front end looks like I'll have plenty of time to heal up

Just so everyone is aware, I hit a couple trees doing about 25 mph. This has nothing to do with Polaris or their awesome new a arms, in fact they saved my sled. I watched my friend on a 12 cat run head on into a 12 pro last year at 5 mph: pro - slight ding in upper a arm, cat - a arms toast, air box toast, bulkhead toast.

Alt impact?

Huh... From post #26 here I thought you had aftermarket a-arms on your rig? Not OEMs.
