Hi guys,
I've been lookin' to get a front bumper for my buggy and I would like to have one as in the picture, because my buggy is related to the Sandman buggy that had such a bumper, just as Glitterbug an maybe others. Is there anyone here who could provide some measurements and/or detailed pictures from this bumper? If you have one for sale I might be interested.
Grtz

That one looks home grown to me. Just something cooked up and welded together but I could be wrong.
My Buggy came without one on either end and I would have left it that way (just for a cleaner look) but I wanted to tow a trailer so went with an engine cage out back. The front remains bare.

I think your best option is a local fab shop. The measurement may not be the same but they can replicate the design. |

I agree, it is a matter of personal preference. I do like the looks of it and it is usable to mount auxiliary lights. Best option could be a local fab shop. I'd still be interested in measurements like tube size, lenght and bend radius. Found another picture. This bumper doesn't look home grown to me.

Hey BugsBuggy, I have a JPG of what you might be looking for. It's the Dimensions of the front bumper from "Dean Jeffery's Kyote". Yes years ago you could buy that bumper, but no longer. I saved it from a post from here, but i cannot find that post now.

That style bumper was used on several models of buggies, beside the Kyote, the Glitterbug was another
