01 rmk 800 new cr tunnel?

[taggart]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has put a CR tunnel on a 01 Polaris? I helping a friend with his. The tunnels on, but the new cooler tubes run right through where the trialing arm bolt would go onto the foot rests. Just wondering what is comonly done with this, should we modify the trailing arm mount or cut and repostion the tubes? I would hate to cut brand new polished tubes. Any pics would be sweet.
Thanks

i Have an 01 with a CR tunnel and this question confuses me cause the cooler lines pop out of the top of the tunnel. 1 is a 90 sideways and the other is straight towards the engine. This is a pic of a CR[/ATTACH] Cat 1M cooler but the poo one is built the same with the bend in a diff spot.

Can you post some pics? Are you using a U-cooler or perimeter cooling that runs around the outside of the running board?

Kinda sounds like a Van Amburg tunnel(perimeter cooling) built for a gear drive(need longer trailing arms)

It's perimeter cooling with the tubes up the running boards, the stock tunnel used a rear cooler with running board tubes, but the new CR tunnel has a U-cooler, with running board tubes. Sleds not here so I can't take any pics.

The cooler in the CR is a flat plate style cooler with the cross over at the back, not that it makes a difference, thanks for the pics anyway

Have you called Chad to see how he does it?

Well my friend did, don't know what he said, I think my buddy was asking about buying some already modified foot rests. I think I'll give him a call and ask him what he does. If it was my sled I would just repostion the cooler tubes, would have to cut and rise the tips, no problem though I have a tig, but it's not my sled so we'll do it his way or what ever in the end that will work.

Well I think I know what happend, the tunnel we have is for outboard trailing arms, while the 01 gen II chassi has inboard trailing arms, we'll see tomorrow.
