My new ride

[Yamadog]

Nice the plastic and duck tape is probably stronger than the bumpers that used to come on the sleds.

Its getting closer we got snow/sleet today and then its to be 70 F on Monday - grrrr oh well both my sleds are at Allen Ulmer's anyway.

Got the extendable tunnel bag today and mounted it up. Should be able to carry some stuff with me in this one

I had to remove the small tool/belt bag from the tunnel, but will keep it to have a spare belt in it. There is a small zip pocket inside the extendable bag where I'll store the tool bag.

Waiting for the handlebar bag to arrive as well, together with a few more bits and pieces.

Thy are nice but after a bit you will get a large hole in it where the seat latch rubs and the Velcro will go bad on the sides where it hooks on the buttons then you will lose it every time you hit a whoopty. I now hve mine fastened with zip ties as reinforcement.

 

[birkebeiner]

I saw it has a reinforcement patch where the seat latch hits, but might not be enough?? I might need to round of the edges on that latch then... Bad design, btw. On the seat latch.
But thanks for the heads up

yup they all have that ad mine wore a 2" hole in less than 500 miles with the latch ground round.

Sorry don't mean to be a bummer just letting you know might want to try something else while you have the time before the snow flies. I an having a leather patch sewn into mine.

Thanks for the info guys, I just put one on both of my Vipers. Guess I need to add some sort of protection also so it doesn't ware a hole in it.

My dealer installed the same pack and epoxied a piece of rubber windshield trim onto the seat bolt tab. No damage to the pack after 1 season.

Was thinking of the same thing. Will need to find some rubber trim of some sort to use

I'm going to use thin vacuum line or hose?
Ace Hardware stocks that stuff here in Manitowoc.

See Yamadog, you've already helped three fellow sledders with the same bag
