Bumper
I admire the creativity...... I've always been a "less is more" kinda guy when it comes to sleds tho.

You asked, so I'll tell. I don't like both bumpers together. I'm sure someone will though. To be honest, I really like the new Polaris bumper I got with my 2013.
It looks like a State Patrol sled with that push bumper. Get the blue and red flashing lights too...

I can only imagine how hard it is to ask the general public to comment on your hard work, so I'm not going to make rude comments, but I think you still have some work to do. The fit and finish is lacking, the welds need to be cleaned up and the crimping of the tubing at the joint just looks rough. In the age of weight loss we are all trying to shave weight off our sleds not add it. Having two bumpers just seems counter productive when I could add the larger polaris bumper and get the same protection your bumper seems to be designed for. Most of us spend big money on new sleds and expect them to have a clean fit and finish that represents the money we put into them. Keep at it and I'm sure you will eventually come up with something that appeals to the masses.

most def offers some major protection..could do some real lumber jacking with it with no worries. 
...i do agree with the comment earlier tho ..it does look a little much with 2 bumpers..i would prob take the stocker off and suck the bumper up a little closer..what does it weigh?

6 LBS with the Aluminum or 5 with the plastic option. I designed it to go over the stock bumper for those that do not want to pull the stock or you can pull the stock. I ran the prototype last year on my 12 pro and am still running my stock a arms. I ride a lot of trees and clearcuts so it works well
Plus the full skid really helps.Thanks

If you are planning on selling bumpers, don't press down the ends like that where they butt to the crossbar, you should invest in a proper tube nothcher for a much cleaner look. I use the jd2 notcher daily at work it's awesome and it really doesnt cost that much. worth buying for sure.

Granted having a tubing notcher would be a little cleaner look however in order to keep them cost effective we chose not to go that route. What we did build is a very effective bumper to protect a very expensive investment. If your around the Intermountain Snow Show stop by our booth and take a look for yourself. I think you will be suprised at how they look and feel.
