Goggle bag

[TD Max]

Does anyone have the goggle bag that drops into the recess in front of the steering post?

Curious if a bottle or two of Gatorade/Powerade would fit inside and ride without bashing around too bad?

Also considering behind the seat, but up front may not need a heater.

I have it and I think it would fit a regular size bottle or two but not the large ones. Not really big enough for goggles but works well to keep lenses warm.

I bought one for my ride this year. Not sure what I'm gonna put into it yet.

It doesn't look to "snow proof"????

I just bought one this week too. I was thinking I could stash my gps cords, cell phone, reading glasses, extra gloves and stuff like that in there.

To answer your question, it looks big enough for a bottle or two of pop or something.

During testing last year I used the bag to store different fuel controller so I could just switch back in forth. Its a handy little bag.

FYI guys there is quite a bit of heat that comes out of there. I used it last winter to warm my gloves and helmet when it was real cold. Steam also comes out when riding in deep powder.

I dont know if a drink will fit into the bag, i assume it would, but your drink is going to be warm. Very very warm.
A nice thermos with some coffee maybe?? Lol
I put my gloves over that hole in the steering and it heats them pretty well in the 15 or so minutes we stop.
I have also used it to defrost my helmet shield a few times and when i put my helmet on my head would get hot.
Theres a ton of heat coming out of that hole

My riding buddies all walk over to my sled and warm their hands there when we stop. they think its a little fireplace. I set my helmet there too.

If that spot lets out a lot of heat is it really ok to block it off with a goggle bag?

I am a big fan of that goggle bag. -30f took my cold weather gloves out and they were nice and toasty warm. Gloves a map,compass and flashlight go in there along with gps. I agree that it must block a lot of heat though.

As long as your moving it won't hurt a thing and if your idling the fan will kick in anyway.

I have one with goggle bag and one without. The one without usually runs a little bit hotter but it also has about 600-700 fewer miles which could make a difference. I believe it just pushes the added air out the foot wells and the slots up near the steering column on each side of the goggle bag. I bought a new pair of insulated boots last year and wore only my uninsulated boots all winter while riding.

The goggle bag was standard on my buddies 2014 AC 1100 turbo. He has no,problem with temperatures either!

That's what I did, cut a hole in the back and put all my wires from the controllers and my HID lights.

I was thinking about getting the goggle bag until I seen a video on youtube with seam bellowing out the vent when riding in powder. With lots of seam I don't see how the goggle bag would keep a extra pair of goggle dry and warm ? For trail i can see it working fine tho.

It's really tight in there to fit a pair of goggles in there anyway.
