Whats a quick solution for the tunnel ice build-up problem? Is there anyone that sells a plate you can just rivit on?

Site sponser Schmidt Bros makes a plate, or you can go to your local hardware store and pick up a piece of sheet metal and make your own. It won't completely eliminate it but should help out some...but that will also depend on where you ride...off trail alot, deep powder conditions ect where you're constantly in deeper snow as opposed to a groomed trail. I have little issues with snow/ice build up but I trail ride 99% of the time...after we stop for a break I usually slap the tunnel a few times and the ice just falls out...problem solved...or keep a small hammer and tap the tunnel protectors...the vibration causes the ices to break and fall off.

Is the plate easy to install? Do you have to drop the skid? Any idea what it cost?

Don't know...I'm making my own...just take the seat off and remove the muffler, lots of room to work....or if you go from underneath ther is even more room...don't meen to sound rude, but have you looked under there at all...not really alot to it. You could probably make one yourself for $20...just some sheet metal and rivets or self tapping screws.

Thanks for the help. Haha no worries. I hear what you saying. Its is pretty simple. Will that effect cooling of the sled at all?

I don't think so, alot of guys on here have done it with no issues.
