Rotopax Gasoline Packs

[matthew34]

Is anyone using a rotopax gasoline pack on their sled. Here's the link to their site:

I reloacted my tail light to back of the tunnel to make room for storage. And these tanks look like a great fit where they are flat and come with a mounting kit so there is no need of strapping it down or a back rack. Only thing Im wondering about is the tunnel mounting kits. They have them for all the other sled brands except for Yamaha. Has anyone used one of the other brands mounting kits on their Yamaha?

Here's the link to the mounting kits, the snowmobile ones are at the very bottom:

Here's a link to pictures of it installed on a Arctic Cat:

I just installed a 1 gal on my Attak. You don't need any hardware. I just installed a reinforcing galvanized framing hanger in a square with 4 rivets to give the factory tunnel extension a little support. It's been 300 miles with no issues.

I mounted one this year. VERY HAPPY WITH IT! I used a custom dynamics tail light. GREAT STUFF:

I didn't add anything to the regular bracket they sell. It really distributes the weight across the entire tunnel with the design of the mount.

I have had a 3 gallon pack on my sled for years and have never had a problem.

Might be a silly question, but does anyone have a picture of just the mount on the tunnel? I just ordered the 3 gallon pack, looking forward to getting this mounted up.

I took off the stock light and mounted an LED strip on the back of the tunnel. I have the 1.75G pack. I drilled into the aluminum tail light mount to give the rotopax more support. I'll get some pics when I get my sled back this week.
