pro add on rear cooler

[sledcrazzy]

I have just started riding my new to me 2011 pro 800 163, anyway for my type of riding it could use more cooler. I am thinking about building a small u cooler and sticking it in the rear, problem is the wise guys at polaris welded the cross over in, so has anyone tried to do this?
I do have scratchers and use them but we ride super tight trails to treeline and at slow speeds they don`t do much.

Fastrax makes that "add on" cooler for both the PRO and the IQ's.

Ditching the ported snowflap and going with a standard RMK flap will help a lot... I'd try that first and then go the cooler route if you need more.

I have been wondering about adding the front close off cooler from a standard RMK to my pro 8, you would have to buy a new coolant bottle or drill out the stock one and a couple of hoses and the cooler, looks like you would have to drill a couple of holes for the hoses to pass through to bulk head. We looked it up at the dealership and I think I was around 350 bucks. Ouch!

buy a snow flap from a IQ chassis...just the dragon flap, fits the same rivet holes and tunnel..works wonders for the trail..ebay 35 bucks, grey red or black. Go right to it, better than the rmk flap, nice curved snow path.

That would work as a last resort. Like already mentioned, try a new flap first. As for the holes in the bulkhead for the front cooler hoses, probably already there.

i bought one from van amburgs. it fit right in but you have to have a good aluminum welder to install it. cost around 250 i think.
