Thinking of adding a Montana 680t this year on a handlebar mount... Anyone have experience w this gps?

I had the Oregon but switched to a Nuvi instead. Used a ram mount and attached it to the bolt on the riser and an adjustable arm with a nuvi specific holder. Much easier to see the bigger screen and use when looking for trails or POI.

Figured you might be able to answer this for me. Upper control arm rear bolts....how the neck do you reach them? Can't for the life of me figure out how to get into them.

Or are they a nut and through bolt from the front?

Thanks

One long bolt that goes in through the front. It threads into a nut at the rear that is welded to the subframe.

Ordered spindle (#2)... One down. Considering a muffler update, looking at the SB guts swap as don't want the blaaaaaa at constant throttle speed. Any experiences or suggestions?

Other item on list is heavy duty springs, I weigh 190-195 (6') but add leathers, boots, helmet, 1.5 gallon gas on rack, 10lb. misc (shovel, spares, minimal survival gear) on rack and I suspect I am all of 250lb+ so find at speed on those long paper road whoops I bottom out which sucks at 75mph. Assuming soft setting or med with heavy springs is better than stiff w regular too, anyone using Yamaha heavy springs with seat of pants impressions?

Had the SB gutted too loud for my liking.

 

[Hooray!]

Nice setup. I will have to check out the Nuvi. I like your bar bag too, was it a generic yamaha bag or Nytro specific. I could have used a little more space last year when I went on my County (ME) ride and needed to put everything on sled.

Did it have that drone at normal trail speed? Maybe stick to stock, you never get much more hp but sounds faster!

 

[Hooray!]

DirtFarmer, how did you mount your tunnel LED lights? I have a set of blue LEDs from last year, stick on but was thinking tunnel might be too exposed so snow rips them off... Was considering under hood so air vents glow blue.

Really annoying to me when you got on it neighbors could here it half mile down.

The bag came with the sled when I bought it. It’s a Yamaha handlebar bag and when I looked it up it is discontinued. Doesn’t hold too much.

That sounds too loud as you say... do you still have it, would love to try one just to see. Might be like you though and realize stock is the way to go.

Looks good though, a little here, a little there. I have the windshield bag like yours, small tank bag, trunk bag and dry bag on rear rack. Could use a little more for small stuff but don't want saddle bags, etc... Maybe there is one on eBay, you don't have the SKU / PN do you?

Sorry thru it right in the garbage I would have just given it to you. I found a stock one and cannot here my son coming around a corner behind me.
