I recently purchased my 2014 SX210. As I look at these newer AR240 with the black tower.... I really would like to put one on my SX210. Has anyone done this????

I'm not a big fan of the AR 2015+ towers as I have had some serious issues with that tower. Specifically, the internal locking mechanism is poorly designed and not safe. Albeit it can be modified for safety.

Aside from the issues however, those XTP towers are NOT a universal fit (design) but rather require specific hull enforcements (inside the hull cap) and mounting points.
Not to mention, they are priced at close to $5k, which is more that you would pay for almost any aftermarket tower.
If I where you, I would consider a 2010-2014 AR210 factory tower, the hulls are all built the same within a MY.


EDIT: Oh - and welcome @Jonathan Clavijo !
