You've got a track extension and track lugs that'll make it fine for the hill you want to play on. The only damage you could suffer from a light rollover is probably damage to the windshield and handelbars. To ride powder add a bar riser of maybe 4" and a mountain grab bar. They're sold from most any supplier.

no problem. you're all set with the handelbars then! Just get a $30 mountain bar for sidehilling. i hear it helps in trail too!

Search Arctic Cat dealers online. I use funoutfitters.com for many Arcitc Cat Accessories, but they don't have everything. Cat Bargains is an ebay motors store that has a lot too. Just search and you'll find one. Remember, it doesn't have to be exactly Arctic Cat so you can use many different suppliers. It's jsut a rubber bar!
