Here's my version of the tunnel mod. I was inspired by all the other versions and planned to copy yamahaboy701's version. I originally purchased the Betterboards for an 08-09 nytro, then decided to use the 2010 better boards in order to narrow the footrests as much as possible. This should eliminate some drag in the deep snow. I used the arctic cat trim pieces (tunnel rolls) because of their strength over the yamaha ones.
I only had to bend them in one place where the footrests kick up in the rear. To eliminate the other bends, I drew a straight line on the Better Boards from the front outside corner to the the rear outside corner and cut off the excess (maybe 1/4" at the widest spot). Otherwise, I'd have had to make an additional bend forward from the vertical kick in the footrest. I haven't had it in the deep snow yet to see how much less drag there is, but I'm sure this has helped alot. The footrests are also stiffer now than before. I also relocated the taillight to the short track holes that are already drilled in the mtx tunnel.
