Replacement running board for sidewinder RTX

[enzog]

I am looking for a replacement running board for my 2017 Yamaha sidewinder RTX. I am having difficulty finding aftermarket options because of the short track and was wondering if there are other models that I could look for as parts sleds that would interchange. I appreciate the help! I have been out of snowmobiling for quite a few years and just got this sled in trade. Once I get the running board fixed I am moving on to the list of fixes/ upgrades for these early sidewinders.

What about the new cat models? They have composit running boards. Do you have a Cat dealer near you, check with them.

Barn of parts he has used parts sleds i believe??

The cat dealer can get the entire tunnel assembly with running boards but it is very expensive if I only need to drill and remove one running board. Barn of parts appears to be exactly what I am looking for! I will reach out to them and hopefully if they don't have a sidewinder RTX they know if any other sleds have the same running boards. Thanks guys! I'll let you know how it goes either way.

I should have added that the new Cat models I was refering to have removable running boards. I don't know how difficult it would be to make fit on a sidewinder however.

CR racing makes a nice one.

I love the look of the 2018-21 viper/sidewinder extreme running boards from CR racing. I would definitively go with these. Does anyone know if they fit a 2017 sidewinder with a 129" track.

I thought all the tunnels were the same and just the back portion was different.

That would be amazing if they are! I checked the part numbers for the tunnels and the second 2 letters in the part numbers were different between the models. I guess I just assumed the running boards and mounting locations would also be longer on the sleds with longer tracks.
