2022 Viper LTX-GT Accessories Help

[snomonut]

I was looking thru one of my back-issues of SnowTech last night and saw a Yamaha mirror that was side mounted for the Viper....it was late and I'm at work right now....but I THINK they gave a part number and I'll check it out over the weekend and report back...

I THINK I found the mirrors SnowTech had talked about:

Telescopic Sport Mirrors | Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A.

Accentuate the sporty styling of your SR Viper while helping you stay aware of your surroundings with these Telescopic Sport Mirrors.

Thanks for the information. I did some Google research on these telescopic mirrors, but unfortunately, many reviews were negative. I'm also not sure that I would want to drill holes in my hood, plus the mirrors and/or hood may get damaged if the sled is tipped on its side.
I'm leaning towards Ram mount, Double Take Brand Mirrors. Amazon also has other brands of Ram mount mirrors.

I would mount them to something solid, maybe the handlebars, so that nothing gets damaged if they get smacked!

Well.....now THAT's an interesting solution! I have a buddy who bought the Yamaha mirrors that mount on the handlebars (same as I had on my '12 Vector), but had to take them to a welder to "extend" them so they would work correctly (I don't remember the exact details there....sorry). But your link seems to have a lot of options that would likely work! Thank you!

Hello All....I took delivery of a 2022 SR Viper in May....didn't want to risk ordering a 2023 and waiting until April 2023 and missing the entire season. I've done a fair amount of research, but haven't really found good answers to accessorizing the sled. I am interested in everyone's thoughts/opinions/experiences with 3 things. Sorry if this information has been discussed ad nauseam previously....

1) Mirrors. I have the stock windshield that has the "dimples" for mounting mirrors. I use mirrors extensively and have for years. Are the windshield mounted mirrors any good?
2) Tank Bags. Again, I've used a tank bag for years....I like them....any reccomendations?
3) Saddlebags / Touring Luggage. I do a couple of saddlebag trips each year and have the old "semi-hard" saddlebags from my 2012 Vector LTX. I'm thinking there must be something I can tunnel mount behind the storage bag that comes standard?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I have a set of Brand new hardsided rear mounted touring bags.$350 shipped,for 2012 and newer Yamaha/AC sleds.

On my Cat, the windshield mirrors work great. Good visibility and easy to glance at.

I like the low slung saddle bags for long trips. Keeps the weight low and off the tunnel.

Linq gas can and small bag work great. I rarely use them all at once. Just the small linq bag is ok for a quick overnight.

Will run the exact same setup on my '22 LTX GT Winder.

Thanks for the reply Weslemkoon! I ordered the windshield mirrors yesterday and I'm still considering my options with "storage". I want to have the sled in front of me (currently in storage) before making additional purchases.

I did find the Upnorth bracket rubbed the tunnel bag a bit on the 129, but should be good on the 137. Just in case, I had my dealer put on the smaller tunnel bag and I went with the South Simcoe Machine Linq adapter. The gas caddy fits great.

....there is a slick shovel setup using the tool adapters on the caddy and then mounting the linq shovel. I'll take this if I'm worried about any areas with deep snow.

I noticed that your left hand mirror is at a slightly different angle from the right side....
Just like mine

I have to wonder why

Weird....ever so slightly.

I too received my '22 in June and happy to have it, $700 cheaper too and nicer colors. I had that mirror kit on my 14 Viper and it was excellent. Ordered the same setup installed on the new one.
