Help I'm looking for a place to get a rear bumper for my X2. It was made with the dump bed but no rear bumper its a hassle when you have to lift the rear end and no where to grab. Any Suggestions?

 

From what I have been reading on here you have to make the rear bumper. I have not seen or heard of a company making one for it. I know it seems really disappointing. I have been looking at the X2 for a little while now and have been researching everything and watching all the posts for it. I am sure the guys that have made them will speak up shortly. Good luck.

 

I was hoping not to make my own, I probably could make one but it sure wouldnt look good. My X2 has been good to me I have taken it places where most ATV's would never make it and I give it a good beating around home too using it as a utility vehicle. My only complaint is the lack of rear bumper of course and I think the second seat could be made a little better.

 

When I buy my X2 I plan on buying a large kimpex box/seat for the ol lady to sit on. It will raise her up some and I will have storage. I would only be buying the X2 for riding 2up. I don't need the dump box and if I do that 1 time I can just remove the box. Good luck.

 

I've been critical of the tilting mechanism design because (for me) it's completely useless. (Although, I have found it convenient when refilling my transmission.)

The compromises made for this "limited use" feature was 1) an unacceptable passenger seat and 2) no easy way to attach a rear bumper. Unless you are aware of just how good this machine is in other ways, you would be inclined to check out the competition if you are interested in a "real" 2-up. (The seat design has sent a good many potential buyers to the Can Am Max dealer in my area.)

The seat can be removed in a few minutes should you need to use the box. Notice the bumper is mounted about 15 cm below the tail gate, so the dump can remain functional.

 

They did make a rear bumper for the ATP box which is almost the same as the X2 box. Big Buck's website shows a picture of it, but it say's discontinued. I saw one once and it mounts to the bottom of the box so it tilts with the box. I am not sure if the mounting holes would be in the same location as on the X2. You might be able to find a dealer with one lying around still, or maybe even e-bay if your lucky. I made my own bumper, and mounted it to the bottom of the box like the ATP one, using 3 of the existing mounting holes. It is a sturdy enough mount that I can lift the back of the quad with it. You can see it in my pics.

 

They DID make the rear seat better for 2007; I finally rode both a 2007 800 X2 Deluxe and a 2007 500 X2 Deluxe today and my oh my, are they sweet. The only thing I would change would be to make them available in red (yes, I know, both the standard edition and the limited edition are available in red, but I want the Deluxe), make a rear bumper available and change the rear receiver to two inch.

I'm going for the 500, which had great acceleration even with me (250 pounds) and a 220 pound passenger! Of course, when I buy one this summer, the 2008 model will have these changes.

 

hi from maine! on the polaris x-2 the rear bumper has been discontinued. i have a new 2006 x-2 500 sportsman and i made my own rear bumper. i know that not everone has a welder and tanks but . wasn't to hard to make one.and it's safer with it on so it sticks out to same as dump body does.i made it so it bolts on and can be removed to service atv on rear. if you need help making one email me maybe i can send a pic and see how it's made. good luck.
