IQ front bumper question.

[otterpoo]

I need to replace my front cheap plastic front bumper, and not sure what works with the front radiator. I am looking for an after market replacement that will allow me to keep my front radiator since I live in Maine and most riding is on groomed trails. What is practically bullet proof and works with stock '05 IQ plastics?

Umm, that would be nothing. Maybe you can design your own.

Oh mang, you gotta be kidding me? This is becoming an issue since I like to get my sled stuck often when I do find the fresh and semi-deep, and I need something solid to pick up on.

I'm probably wrong, but I was sure that the "Skinz" bumper workrd with the front rad still in.

You can always just get rid of that front rad and "SERIES" the remaining two, and you will be fine

The Skinz bumper requires you to remove the radiator as well.

that's a bummer, I know. We have an '06 RMK 700 in our family with that same CHEAP JUNK front-end design. It finally got to the point where I could grab the front bumper and pull everything right off. I just recently had the 2010 Dragon kit installed and now it is SOLID as a rock! I dug around for other solutions just like you are and found this one to be the best long-term option (in my opinion, especially if you're going to keep the machine for a while).
