To protect the A arms?

Really I put them on because I want the sled to go up and over any obstructions that are just below the surface of the snow. Or I want them to take the brunt of the impact before the a-arm does. If you blow into a stump at 40 nothing is going to help, but these add a little insurance.

Quote by "Bilbo": Of course they are showing Skidoos. People want to see a QUALITY piece of machinery headed for the trails. A (mod edit for bad language) Cat demonstration would have people choosing X country skiing.

They provide a little extra flotation as well.

Even if I was paid 65 bucks, I wouldnt use them. Looks ugly as hell and your a-arms (or subframe) will be bent if you hit something anyway.

You obviously had the plastic BRP version and not the aluminum ones made by C&T Powersports.

I wouldn't boondock without 'em.

I'll 2nd that! Last season I went riding with "Dix" and after seeing how well his worked and aided in the off trail fluff riding PLUS the quality of the fit and finish of the C&T A-arm protectors - I am now waiting for mine to come in the mail for this season. Another great thing is the customer service - 2nd to none!

Guys-
Our a-arm protectors do not come off ! Contact Bowhunter here and ask him. He hit a TREE with his and bent the front of the a-arm protector up straight to a 90 degree angle and the mounting hardware kept the protector in place. However, the impact did bend his lower a-arm, but this was a TREE that stopped him dead in his tracks.
Our A-arm Protectors are not going to prevent this type of damage, but they will provide protection against hidden obstacles and flotation for sure.

Our Mounting kit consists of 4 Stainless clamps with stainless 1/4 inch screws and stainless lock nuts.

The factory mounting for the plastic ones consist of 2 clamps on one end, and an "Z" bracket for the other end. I don't really think that the BRP design was intended for any type of protection.

One thing that you come to realize with the products that we sell:
THEY WORK AS DESCRIBED! We WILL NOT sell something if it doesn't work.
Chris
