bet if you go on the Yamaha forum there isn't a bunch of guys complaining about the bumpers.regardless of what the bumper looks like it has to be strong enough to pick-up/pull on while offering some protection.i guess it could be worse and have plastic bumpers like all the latest and greatest cars(road rage gets expensive with plastic bumpers):boxing:

The plastic bumpers on the m series were the best bumpers ever made. Practically unbreakable.

The front ones for sure! The hd skidplate was tough as hell too!! Ribbed plastic would take a serious hit before any bulkhead damage!!

So, any new bumpers out there yet?
How about now?
Sorry guys real close
We are just doing final touches. Hope I can get pics today.

Not to me, I've never hit ANYTHING.:face-icon-small-con
My take on bumpers is the same as it is on A arms. I want it to take a hit & BREAK, instead of breaking what's behind it. The LAST thing I want is a bumper so strong that it damages the bulkhead in the case of an impact, but itself is undamaged.
Strong enough to lift, but weak enough to fail IM(always humble)O.
I like that! That just about sums up life and sledding.
Sled Armor is now also making a bare bones style proclimb bumper
it is the same shape our first bumper, with not top hoop, no front sheet metal,
We are at the Saskatoon snow show this weekend so I will get pics up next week.

I don't know, would you build a bumper that moves when you try to pick up the front of the sled?
Hahah JK, my friend who just got a M8 PC had this issue, he just had to tighten things up and the bumper was fine.

Sure would love to see some pictures of that bumper. I can't make it to the Saskatoon show but I could ask someone else to pick one up for me if I knew what it looked like.

I saw the xxx bumper at the show and it looks wayyy better in person.

Unloaded my M8 out of the back of a truck yesterday. Hooped a tie down around the front bumper, the other end on the bucket of my tractor, and lifted it. No worse for wear or tear! That being said, I still bought the Cat sport bumper and put it on this morning. Mainly for a bit more protection for the front. I was pretty happy with how it attached to the sled. Like others have said, I'm not looking for a bumper to transfer all the impact into the bulkhead. I expect it to fail before the bulkhead will.
Can't believe how light the sport bumper was though. Felt about the same weight as the stocker.

IMO the bumper I'll build, buy, or modify (like the cheap sport bumper) is mostly a grab bar to me but I'm glad it's a bumper when I need it LOL.
So for me it needs to extend at least another 4",s out and at least level with the top of the hood. It also has to have a little less bend at the snout. The problem for me with the Cat design (either one) is there is not enough room for my hands (even without gloves on) and the twist in my wrists is too much when lifting or pulling.
I don't lift my sled trying to curl my arms I lift my sled trying to dead lift, front or rear.
