It fits and it fits about 95% mod free.
This was force on me by my friend the flatlander running into my sled and blow every peice of plastic on the front end (minus and I mean just minus the hood) to smitherines
. Replacing the plastic or upgrading to this setup with the lift bumper was a no brainer..... or so I thought....
There are only two minor mods, relocation of the exhaust hole. Which is very simple seeing as you can use the snow deflector to line up with the rivets and trace the new hole.
Pretty well forget about the SLP airbox. I built a custom one, out of the parts of the slp airbox that weighs next to nothing but the SLP airbox just simply won't fit as the rails that support the bumper and the different front end geometry just make it impossible.
I saw at Backus Racing a 2005 RMK 900 getting the kit and it looked really good. It had a different air box something square and aluminum and it was relatively mod free.
The geometry of the hood vs the sled does not change. I was told by a bunch of people that it would touch the pipe and a bunch of crap, the reality is it didn't move any or change angle at all and the pipe certainly didn't move as it secures off hard points.
Just thought I would post this as every guy in the "know" that I phoned was wrong with the exception of Backus Racing and I'm glad I listened to them. It looks wicked awesome cool.
I wonder if a 2009 SLP airbox would fit in here and tie into the throttle body. Anybody?
