Is the outside width at the front of the sidekick bed the same as a x900 ? My x900 outside width at the front is right at 60 inches. I am thinking of ordering the sidekick front upper bed plate to put on my x900 to close the gap between the bed and cab. Looks like it would fit with drilling two bolt holes at each corner of the x900. Thanks!

I was able to stop by my dealer today. He had a sidekick in stock i was able to measure. The bed is the same width as my x900 so i went ahead and ordered the front upper bed plate kit from the sidekick. I will have to drill two holes in the front uprights of my x900. The kit number is k7811-97700. cost is about 185 dollars. Hitchworks has a plate for about 220 dollars but i like the fit of the sidekick plate better. I will report how it worked out when i receive it. If things work well I may consider the sidekick bed extension too.
And please post pics of this project. Interesting.
Quick ....is it a xg850 or a x900....lol. This is my x900 with the xg850 front plate and bed rails. They fit exactly as they fit on the xg. There are two legs that fit into the square box supports that have nuts welded to them. I had to drill four holes for the bolts. This should work well to keep brush out of the engine area.
