New Front Bumpers & Side Bars
« on: June 17, 2008, 11:49:31 AM »
PRM has pictures up of there front bumpers for the 700xx.  They are not to bad looking.  I think they need to be a black color and a wrinkle (textured) finish would be great.  When I get a bumper I will be getting a plain one and powder coating mine here where I work as we have a own Powder coating line.  I do not think the line are that great on the design.  I might just have to design my own and make them (if I ever get time).  I think the bumpers need to be more of a V shape like DG's GNCC or V-Pro.

The summit looks like the one for me....


Having a high handle like that when/if I get stuck helps out my back.

The summit is my favorite one also, but I still think the lines are wrong for the front of that machine.  I think it needs to be more of a V-Shape

Man, those bumpers are FUGLY!! I never really liked those nerfs either, but my buddy has a set on his Outlaw and they look pretty good. His have the nets though, not aluminum thruout. Hopefully Pro Armor gets with the program on this machine, I always liked their stuff.

The PRM stuff doesn't look the best but they hold up better than most of the other products I have used. They are top quality.

If you go to Rocky Mountain ATV and look up bumpers and nerfs, they have been showing some DG stuff for awhile. But now they are actually showing an expected August date for the bumper and Septemeber for the nerfs. I'm still hoping Pro Armor makes some goodies for the XX....

here's the link to the bumper...

It looks like I may need to start saving my pennies....

I just bought this bumper from PRM for $99.95 and I like the look it is 100% better than the stock one with more places to pick it up if you get stuck.
