What snowmobile cover should i buy?

Dimebag · Sep 9, 2009

Hi,

I need a new snowmobile cover for my 06 RMK 151".

What to buy, where to get it?

It should be suitable for trailering,
and for storing the sled outside the whole winter in all kinds of weather.

I have found a good deal on ebay, about 90 dollars delivered to me.
But i believe thats a universal cover. Also the stock one cost too much. (about 470 dollars.)

Any suggestions?

Where on earth do you have to pay $470 for a Polaris IQ cover?

I got my cover for my 900 166 from my dealer 6 weeks ago for less than retail (retail is $180)

Check out Babbits online or Carl's cycle, both are good online options for Polaris OEM stuff.

good luck:beer;

Babbits has em for $155

I would agree $460 sounds like your dealer is putting it to you . If you buy a one fits all cover watch out when trailering as they fit like an old pair of swet pants.

i think he was just exagerating guys

It does cost 2800 Norwegian Kroner. And with todays currency, thats equal to about 470 US dollars.

A one-fit-all cover costs about 250 US dollars. I have one of them now, but all the trailering has teared it apart.

So i want a custom fit cover for my sled

I believe i talked to Holz about buying something from them before, but the shipping cost was too high to even consider buying from them.

What do you think of this cover?

I wonder if this is a custom fit cover, or a universal fit?

Thanks!

Dimebag.

that link you posted on the cover form ebay..garbage..it will NOT 1 trailer ride..

you NEED to get a canvas one for sure..and it has be a snug fit or it will flap and tear apart..

if i was u, i would get one from ebay thats OEM..or have someone help you get one from a dealer in the US and pay shipping..no way will shipping cost more then $50-75MAX from the US to you..

$180 retail (max) and shipping to you $50-70...

you can get one for 159 and its nice and snug...way better then most aftermarket ones..

IMO

http://www.bobscycle.com/browse.cfm/4,109869.html I think you would be much happier with the Skinz cover. Check the link above. I've been using one for 2 seasons and love it. Forms really nice over the sled and doesn't scratch. Handles all kinds of road muck. The ebay cover looks like it is going to flap quite a bit. For international orders email leif@bobscycle.com

i'd second that. ride with a guy that has one, looks like it would withstand a nuclear blast. i might update as my polaris one is hashed after 2 years (and that is just trailering, sled is stored inside).
they just dont build em like they used to

I think you would be happiest with an enclosed trailer. They are magical and the best way to go. Of course thats pry 40x your price range. But just get any durable oem one thats snug. Try your local craigslist (or varient) or local dealer im sure carries them. Still if you could pull it off the enclosed is the way to go, you would never go back. Mirage trailers are the $hit.

Sno-Skinz all the way if on an open trailer. Guaranteed for life.

Dimebag · Sep 10, 2009

Thanks for all replies.

Any opinions on this cover from denniskirk?

A friend bought one and he was really happy with it. Custom fit. And quality seems to be around OEM.

sleddin pete · Sep 11, 2009

Canvas covers like the one from Dennis Kirk or Polaris are only going to last 2 years or so if you store the sled outside.
You would be better off spending the extra $30 over a Polaris cover the first time and getting the sno-skinz cover.Bought one for my 02 RMK and it's still going strong for my friend who now owns the sled(has some sun fade but structurally still good)
