Yeah I remember those ice boogers!! I had a ride last night in about -15 C temps and not one bit of ice in the tunnel, previously it would be built up and rubbing the track and causing noise, etc. I'd say if you put a shield between your exhaust and track you would eliminate even more icing and provide more protection for your exhaust. The downside is that you would then get heat build-up on the rear deck.corchaz said:

I haven't seen any of the newer ones yet but the design hasn't really changed since its introduction in 2007. They can be reduced by using the tips here.
Yeah, I know. It's a new machine and you shouldn't have to modify it. But no machine is perfect out of the box no matter the brand.
BTW, welcome to the forum. Lots of info and friendly people ready to help out here.

If you are not riding in cold conditions it may not be such an issue as some have found it to be (maybe that is why the dealer hasn't heard much about it). I would suggest trying it out first before making any changes. Not sure about the shield mentioned other than owner modifications. There was a block off plate for the earlier Phazers but that wouldn't apply to the VL. Younmight want to consider the MP as well with the wider skis and track.mikej said:

Yes, definitely look into the MP 
. Much more machine for the money. Check the faq sticky with the differences between the two. the only thing missing is the mirrors now. I'll bet you could negotiate those with the dealer as they are not cheap.
