Have you thought about going with a titanium bolt kit? Build looks great.

Cool Build, Mixed emotions about the Pink-Do you like Turkey Burgers?

No turkey burgers here lol I love the pink ;) and eat my steaks still moo-ing!

Here's some pics of the a-arms. From a just by feel test the WRP lower than stock seat is for sure a little lighter than the stock 13' seat. I'll have an exact weight difference # soon.

No TI bolt kit here wayne. I tossed it around a bunch in my head but most of the kits were to replace full areas of stock stuff and I just don't have many stock things left, and piece by piece was annoying to shop for, not to mention SPENDY!!!

Here's the photo of the seats you requested. The WRP is for sure slightly longer, but what I think are benefits are weighs less, is much lower, and tapers the sides the whole length of the seat.

Curious why you didn't choose the skinz freeride seat? It's lighter and shorter than both of those seats.

Your right the Skinz freeride seat is lighter and shorter, it's a nice seat for sure. I chose the WRP seat because it's only 1.05 lbs heavier than the skins(still saves you 2.25 lbs over stock), costs $100 less, and the fact that it tapers back up towards the rear doesn't leave you with that oh I'm constantly sliding off the seat feeling I get on the skinz.

Here's some photos of stock, 13', WRP low seat so people can see weight differences. I was surprised Polaris only saved .6lbs going to the 13' style seat!

As far as I know they should be selling these now. When I got mine a few weeks ago it had just come out of machining and that's why it hadn't been anodized yet. Fit is spot on and there seems to be a nice weight savings. Feel free to give them a call if your interested in getting your hands on one, !!

Well that couldn't have gone any worse. Out for a cruise with some Polaris sales peeps and I barely make it off the trail before removing half my front end :( looks like I'll have plenty of time to heal up

Just so everyone is aware, I hit a couple trees doing about 25 mph. This has nothing to do with Polaris or their awesome new a arms, in fact they saved my sled. I watched my friend on a 12 cat run head on into a 12 pro last year at 5 mph: pro - slight ding in upper a arm, cat - a arms toast, air box toast, bulkhead toast.

Alt impact?

Huh... From post #26 here I thought you had aftermarket a-arms on your rig? Not OEMs.
