The original intention in designing this bumper was to help move the ATV around. Sometimes you just need to swing the machine over a few feet and there is just nothing to grab onto. Sturdy steel construction is ergonomically placed so you can move the machine without throwing out your back. Large 1.5 diameter tubing is great to hold onto and also look great on the machine. Thick steel mounting brackets easily bolt to the open holes in the back of the frame. The spacing still allows full access to opening your storage trunk (on certain models) as well. Another problem this bumper solves is the lack of tie down points. The plastic racks offer very little points for tie downs and they flex terribly. We added a large tie down slot in each mounting bracket to give you extra options when attaching your gear All mounting hardware and instructions are included. Black powder coated finish will look great for years.
