Hey GlennM you ever get to Sanair Super Speedway? I raced there in the inaugural race on the tri oval in 1983. Thought we were racing on the road course get there and oh no Oval. Changed the setups and gears on all 7 cars and by friday were hitting almost 200 mph on the front straight. Wow those were the days. Except coming back over the boarder the Canadians impounded our cars and it took 2 weeks and a lawyer to get them back.
Nope, never been....

Well actually it is a rotopax thread in the sidewinder section. I am sure you can install the mount by pulling the heat exchanger and then re-installing. was just letting people know that if you put the 2 gallon roto pax in the tunnel bag it wont be there at your next stop. I ran with 3 large camping fuel bottles in mine which weigh a lot less than the rotopax and it would tear the straps and the plastic front straps with the snaps would slacken from the weight.Ohhhh, a viper lol

Yes,thats why I am installing the Cat brackets that mount on each side,with 6 rivets for each side,and handy strap down holes for bungie straps,as I hope this will keep that bag from swaying from side to side trail action,once strapped securely to the brackets,this may finally keep it in place. So I guess I will be this years genie pig...lolWell actually it is a rotopax thread in the sidewinder section.

Well got the Cat sides and snow flares installed today,for the snow flares I could not use there washered selftapping screws,as our holes in the rear bumper rails,were to large,and they slid right into them. So I had some aluminum rivets and washers,and did them this way. The rails to keep the bag intact,were good to go. A few pics ok I cant seem to find a way to shrink my pics so I can upload them,so no more pics until I can shrink them,somehow.

Such a shame that no one has posted pictures.
Im thinking about the tunnel bag and 2 gallon rotopax, do you guys think there is enough room for your typical back pac to still fit inside the bag with the fuel pax?
Anyone got pics?
@snowbeast what are these side tunnel racks?

What size can is that?View attachment 134825 View attachment 134826 I used Rotax mount with pop rivets. Just drill the holes through the bag.
Do you think you could still fit a back pack inside the tunnel bag?
What mount did you use? Sidewinder has the heat exchanger under there so you cant drill in the middle.
I was thinking one of these would be needed.
