Went out today and my butt was totally soaked. They do seem to help. Also, if you put the outside wheels in the back (the 4 wheel kit) it stops most of the snow from being thrown up and launched by the track. The extra bearings taking the load plus no more snowballs thrown at you by the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hmm, I've got the ZR 7000. Nothing extra added to the tunnel and never noticed the seat getting wet. We were out riding yesterday and there was wet snow coming down. After coming out from lunch we had to wipe the seats down since they were now wet but that was it. What conditions are you riding in that the seat gets wet. Perhaps it's something I should consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoonerBP Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 They come standard on Eltigre and Limited Cat for 2016. These work amazing for stopping the chunks of snow coming off the track and keep your back and bags snow free. also in lower snow conditions the help keep snow in the track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably ride fairly mild mannered, I would guess a little more aggressive riding would kick up more crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered a set today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
