Saddle Bags

[ROCKERDAN]

Is there any locking mechanism for that LinQ bag? I could
see myself stopping to eat only to return and find the bag grew legs.

Yes, White Out Tech has nice lock.

These bags are on nearly every sled out there, and we have never had an issue, but if you live in certain known areas that could be different. For the most part, sleds can be taken apart and things removed easily, and that is rare but sure anything can happen.

Not that I'm aware of.

Does anyone have saddle bags or tunnel bags on their Sidewinder?
Yamaha offers a few choices and I'm not sure what to do, as there is already a small tunnel bag at the rear of my seat on my 18 RTX LE. Dealer says it's where I'm supposed to store my spare belt.
Pictures of your setup would be much appreciated!

Thank you,

The yamaha expandable bag worked well. Plenty of storage for belts and everything else. Notice I said belts.

Does that lock get snow powder in it and freeze up?

Anyone know these dimensions? Thinking about adding some LinQ gear to my custom rack.

Pics? Somewhere I think i saw that a rotopax fuel cell fits inside.

Here you go: orange Roto is 1.75 ( painted for orange Cat) and the silver is 1 gallon. 1 gallon fits extremely easily, with plenty of for for more junk. 1.75 fits....but a little tight. Plenty of room on top. Note: when used on a 137"

Thanks. How did you mount the rotopax?

I dont. I simply secure the bag. The tunnel bag in the photo is fully expanded, but empty. I was simply showing how big the bag is, and that it was labeled as only for the Viper at the time.

The rotos do NOT fill the entire pack, and there is plenty of space left over. Since the photo was taken, I've added U buckles or some such from cat. I can para-cord a backpack on if needed.

The bag stays very secure. I have used one or two of those flexible steel ties when the trail is bumpy, simply for piece of mind.

I took one saddle bag trip without the can. Sure enough, it was the one time I really needed the gas. Never again....I'm always packing at least the small can with me.

Note on painting cans: I sanded the plastic lightly and wiped with alcohol. The paint has help up very well.

Weird. I found the answer on Dootalk first.

I looked every where too and what I did was order the Arctic Cat speedrack system with speedlock. I ordered the large hardbox and medium soft bag. It’s great.
