Front Bumper cracked at the welds. Looking for replacement. Suggestions?

[Obiwan900]

Given, the original front bumper is pretty weak.
The welds have cracked the aluminum clear through at two of the mounting brackets of the front bumper.

What are your recommendations for replacement?

Racewerx $300 nice looks
Skinz $190 weight = 3.5 lbs
Zbroz $280 looks big
ModRods $300 looks big made by sled armor

Then I also saw OEM bumper for $153 4.8 lbs on http://countrycatarcticcat.com/ccstore/index.php/arctic-cat-front-pro-bumper-orange.html
SKU 6639
It looks like a possibility.

I don't want the bumper to pack alot of snow and don't want it to block the cooling

I personally like the Racewerx bumper, built well and can take a hit. It is more expensive but you get what you pay for

Many threads on this, mod rods, cat has a sport bumper, racewerx, MM? Do a search, I have racewerx, fit perfectly and fit and finish was very nice, mine came with a beefier skid plate as well. All are better than the flimsy noodle they come with.

For the $$ Mod Rods- it gives best protection the cat one holds alot of snow,
Here is the Mod Rods on my 1100 LimitedView attachment 194974

Racewerxs bumper is awesome has a skid plate to add as well. There bumper looks the best and is real strong. I find that it does hold snow tho.

Almost all of them seem to hold snow. Racewerx gets my vote every time. I have seen these things take some big hits and deflect like they are designed to, or hold strong and protect.

Thanks Guys.
It's a toss up between Racewerx and Magic Mtn sports
I like the way snow will evacuate on the MM bumper
but Racewerx will give a little bit better protection

the mod rods is nice put one on my 2 smoker but tough fit took two of us to get it lined up.

Cat is going to replace my bumper under warranty, so I am going with their beffer version. I put it on Friday. It went on easy and looks and feels much stonger. I like it.

Here's a hit taken with the racewerx. Saved the bulkhead. Just seen a new 13 take a hit with a stock bumper roday and it bent the bulkhead pretty bad no pics of that one. Just folded the stock one over and took most of the hit with the front of the bulkhead.

My bumper cracked at the welds also. Along with the paint chipping off I have a lot to get warranted. Wish me luck!
