Hey RZR Gang,
As some of you know, we've been working on a bumper with a number of different features we hope you'll find useful.
We haven't mentioned it yet, but the time is now right to say we are in direct collaboration with Racer Tech on this as Andy (Racer Tech owner) and I have been in weekly conversations. We both felt it'd be cool to put our heads together to try to come up with a great front end product that works and plays together with other items like winches and plows. Andy will chime in soon too. It's been the highlight of my year to be working with someone with his expertise on RZR accessories. Fun to integrate our plow and VIPER winch ideas with his design and manufacturing ability.
The prototype will be in our facility on Monday for some final revisions before we start production. More on the bumper features in another post.....
At this point, I do have a design question and poll for you. We are debating whether the bumper should be finished with mean-looking hex head fasteners on the outside or if it should be more sleek with recessed bolts that 'disappear' into the bumper frame. The recessing of the bolts is quite a bit more costly to produce, but seems like it might be better in the end product. I'll try to get some general pictures in a week or two for better describe, but do your best to visualize this and let me know if what I'm asking makes sense.
So if you have a moment to answer the poll, we'd sure appreciate it. We'd hoped to be shipping bumpers this month, but product design always takes longer than one anticipates to get it right, so once we finalize the design, we are aiming for a ship date on or before November 1. Preorders with discounts will be starting in about 14 days.
Thanks guys.....looking forward to it!
