You guys have mentioned a few times about "cutting". From what I have read on the Snorkel your ATV web site you should not have to make any cuts. As a matter of fact my biggest concern is voiding my warranty. I just bought a 2017 700 2 deluxe with a 5 year warranty and it even addresses it on their sight by saying "easy bolt on kit that is easily removed for warranty work". I dont want to cut anything!!! If she breaks for any unforseen reason i can jerk the snorkel off, make her back stock and bring it in!
