Does anyone know if you can still use the rear panel with this kit ? Also does this kit use any of the factory pieces or does it replace everything from the air box/cvt up ?

It uses the factory airbox, but it does modify it some, gives you a drain plug for it. On the back windshield I think all you will be able to use is poly. Not a 100% on this. The glass windshields appear to be too thick, and will not fit with the snorkel bracket. I hope a poly works atleast because that is something i want to add in the future is a back windshield.

So where does it plug into the air box? at the factory "riser" in the cab ? Does anyone have a pic. I cut my hose with the duckbill on it when I tried to make my last snorkle. Just wondering if I will have to hook any of the factory stuff back up. I have the poly rear shield so I deff wanna be able to use it still.

You can stil use your rear panel behind your seat you cut and modify a hole. And you can still use a polaris glass lock and ride rear glass. Only thing is you half to put a few washers to space it out just a little. I installed my Triangle Kit last week.

You going to need to buy another hose with the duckbill in it cause it is still used with the triangle atv kit. Cause the kit joins the air intake behind the driver seat. You should have no problem using the poly with it. I cant get you a pic until next week sometime.

That's what I figured. Is it the same for the cvt. is the duck bill still needed or is it completely replaced

You take the duck bill and glue it closed. And yea air in for the cvt connects behind the seat. The air out for the cvt connect on the cover itself. It's the longest ran hose you have.

Just finished installing a Triangle kit in my 2013 900. I have the L & R rear glass and as stated you have to space the bracket out a quarter inch from the mounting location or you will be pressuring the glass panel. I had issues with the bracket making too much contact with the bed when I spaced it out so I ended up drilling new mounting holes in the supplied bracket to raise it up higher taking advantage of the brackets angled rear face to get the clearance. Had the bracket on and off 3 times before I was happy with it. The video shows two people installing this bracket and I recommend that. I did it by myself and you need 4 hands it seems to get it done. My Ranger has that additional plate they say is on the 2014 model making access to the two mounting bolts near impossible. Triangle should have added those thin washers that thread on bolts to hold them in place temporarily while you are assembling this unit. Their idea of using electrical tape to hold the bolts is not a good solution when by yourself. I ended up welding the bolts to the bracket and that helped immensely on my third assembly.

Regarding the intake hose with the duckbill in it I suppose you could head to Home Depot and find the correct size fernco (rubber) connector to fit the air box. You would have to bring the air box flex hose right up from the box to the triangle bracket without going into the cab. I think you would have enough flex hose for that. If not H.D. sells that kind of flex hose for hot tubs, might not be black but I know I've seen it there.

Here is what I mean to keep the bolts in place - they are called push nuts https://www.fastenal.com/web/products/details/0162862
Another suggestion for mounting the bracket on the inside. Triangle supplies two big washers to span the channel inside. The washers quickly fold in half just about when you tighten the bolts. I used an 2" wide X 4" long piece of flat stock and drilled two holes in it to slip over the bolts, I used the holes from the supplied bracket as a template. Much easier to handle and more secure when tightened.
