I ordered the new RI Max II front rack ($175+ $14.40 shipping) from my local max dealer "Bergevin's" in Swanzy NH a few weeks ago while my machine was in for its first service and it didn't get there for them to install it before I picked up my max. So my dealer sent their top max guy (Andy) out to my house which is over a hour away from them. Andy brought all the tools and we installed my front rack in no time flat. Talk about service! I am so glad to have such a great dealer in my area to help keep my max trouble free...Thanks guys!
The rack looks totally badass on the front of my max. It connects to the body at 6 points with huge bolts and the steel tubing is like an 1/8th of an inch thick and is powder coated black just like the rear rack. Suposedly this was the first rack they shipped and I just wanted to say thanks to RI for another great acsessory! Keep em' coming...how about a factory outboard moter bracket? Of factory headach rack?

I, too, would like to give Andy a big "thanks" (which I did in person yesterday) for his help getting me started with a "refurbishing" project.
I'm trying to bring life back to an '86 MAX II.
He's helped me stay out of trouble by keeping me from doing "dumb stuff" to my machine.

Hey guys, if possible could you or someone else post a pic of this front rack? Have been sitting in the the garage trying to fab one up, maybe this will save some time. Thanks.

Jim, I emailed you a pic from the factory literature. I recently sold one and it also took a while to leave the factory just like Redrum posted about his. I think they have things in line now and new shipments will go out faster. I saw the cargo rack at the factory a few months ago before production. It is a very nicely made accessory for the Max II. It's always good to see new toys for our toys. I was disappointed to hear from Jay at RI, however, that he has sold very few of these new racks. I don't think they have enough advertisement for them yet, so hopefully sales will pick up. It's hard for them to fabricate and sell new parts when sales are so low.

Hey Brandon.

How hard of an install is this front rack? Would it interfere with the winch on my Max II when the body is raised for maintenance?

Thanks,

Bud

im glad to here your geting time to work on your 86 maxII,prehape you will be ready sooner than laiter to join us for some rideing,

Bud,
The rack bolts to the max at 4 points on the front "grill" ( 2 bolts on each side of the winch plate) and 2 points on the "hood" So it does not interfere with winch,lights,gas cap or the raising of the body.

Thanks REDRUM.
