Side rail question

Folks I just saw something on the RZR that made me kind of sad... the side rails next to the seat. As you know, I am handicapped and rails like that make it nearly impossible for me to get in and out of the seat. My question is, are these welded to the cage or can they be removed easily?

Re: Side rail question

My trailer is stuck in the snow so I can't just run out and look, but even if they were welded I figure you could cut them off and cap the ends with something..
I'll keep checking all of my pic's..

Re: Side rail question

True, I could do that, but I need to see if I can get in and out and how easily. The more I look, the more I keep leaning toward the full-sized Ranger.

Re: Side rail question

Side rails are removable! The two anchor points above the floor are just bolted so I suspect the one below the floor is also bolted for removal.

I am sure it would make entering and exiting easier for you but you sure would want to install some type of door to keep you in.

Re: Side rail question

Yes they are removable. I took mine off when I had to do some repairs. There might someone out there that could design a folding rail to help you get in and out and will also flip up to help keep you in place.

Re: Side rail question

Some good seat belts/ shoulder harness to keep you in then you should be good to go.

Re: Side rail question

Yep, regardless of the machine, I think a five-point harness is in order.
