Angles of shots mess with your eyes. best advice i have is back it up to a wall. see whats really inline. or bust out a level. I thought mine was "fairly close" until i did that and realized i still had a few inches of overhang on the tunnel.
Tunnel Cutting
- Thread starter Toad face killah
- Start date
If Polaris doesn't come with a short tunnel in 2022 that's my plan... and even if they do shorten the tunnel I might still do this
That combined with a BM Fab raised rear bumper should make for a nice no cut short tunnel.
It's a doo 165
if you take off 7 inch it will be very difficult to keep the snowflap
So without that you have more chance to overheat in the trail
You have to know when you do long trail to the top of mountain Be ready to over heat and have to stop couple time
I put the 2 BRP icescrather on each side to prevent that
That help but on icy day its tuff to keep it cold
If somebody find a way to keep the snowflap on with a 7 inch tunnel cut
Let me know because when its bumpy on the trail he always go under the tunnel

The little snow deflector that clips to the rear axel (lynx??) might be the solution .....

If doing again would probably get local shop to bend a section of al in a brake and do a lap joint rather than a mitred join ...bit of a pita to clean up the cut section to get a suitable piece to weld back in ....for a kit the back edge could be pre cut for the track rail line sections

We’re thinking along the same lines, I’m really hoping someone out there can save me a piece of their tunnel extrusion so that I can design & machine a kit that would make this process a lot cleaner, easier and stronger.. without all the mitres and fitting.

if you design a kit you cannot have anything hanging at the back like the kit out there and no plastic fittings [emoji1787]
I just took my snow flap off and a higher pumper and I noticed the difference, it keeps digging/ going, so in that aspect it helps, but some times I just end up just digging a deeper hole, but it can give you that little extra to get out of situations as well, I can do 180s when I hit steep inclines now. When I couldn't before, I'm no pro and I still fail half the time, but I couldn't do, it with the snow flap on, so coming from a average rider I would do it, if I could afford to have someone do it, but for know. I'll just keep the snow flap off.
The easiest way to "keep your warranty" is to keep a close eye on your temps. Digital wrench logs all "overheat events" if you don't have any "overheat events" in your DW log-- Polaris can't deny warranty for a cooling system modification.

If you can save a good intact cross section of the cooler I’d pay for the shipping to get it here, feel free to message me for more info.

This is why I created the Everett Removable Snow Flap Kit. The difference is very noticeable by just taking your flap off. Significantly cheaper alternative for the average rider...
Just took 6.5 off of mine. I just plan on running a short strap from flap to bumper so it doesn't allow it to fold under.

Would you have a piece of the cooler extrusion that you cut off still kicking around? Would love to get a sample piece if so!

Should. I will be picking it up from weld Friday or early next week. I will let ya know.
