The good and the bad of having bumpers.

Last Friday I installed some Viking bumpers and today went out with friends and family for some fun riding.

The good, while pulling out my other Sportsman, with my son-in-law on it, that was stuck up to frame in mud, I stopped and he didn’t, Bang! head on!

Score 1 for the bumper.:veryhappy:

Then later I was following, same son-in-law, threw about six feet of mud with a steep incline at the end. Son-in-law goes threw no problem, I follow and get past mud to incline and Bang! Hit the dirt of incline with the bumper instead of going up, I almost went over handle bars!:owned:

-1 for bumper.:thumbsdown:

So, now what? :nixweiss:

Guess I’ll just have to get used to the extra clearance factor up front.

Still had a great day, weather was perfect. Tomorrow we are supposed to drop 20 degrees and I think summer is finally over, but time will tell.
