Sidewinder Luggage

[DMCTurbo]

did you read about bent tunnels? just sayin so you don't find out the hard way....

I've got the 137 and I have whiteout technologies linq brackets, I put 500 hard miles on so far with no issues. I think its only the longer sleds that need to be aware.

Any thoughts on this powder keg? Evidently the 2.5 inch shorter tunnel really messed them up and this is the only one that will fit with the fuel now. Is that going to be too much for the tunnel?

Anyone??

I am speculating you will be fine. Others have run what seems to be as much weight without issue. Seems more issues are happening with BTX and longer (more leverage). If you are worried then Reinforce the tunnel. I am reinforcing my tunnel as a precaution due to Seat Jack install.

LinQ bracket installed on one of the three 153" sleds. One more Viper MTX and a SW BTX will follow. Got the tow bumper on all sleds, I think it will keep the tunnel straight...
Got the 40L box for all sleds and the mix of stuff shown in the picture for one setup

Here's the Pro Series Modular Rack. Going to apply the LINQ adapter to this. This rack should add some rigidity (I did see the bent tunnel escapades, but I went for it anyway).

Brackets on all sleds only the snow is missing now. Zero km/miles on the SW

Have anyone tried the Yamaha shovel pack? The AC one uses cam locks to lock it in place, but on the picture, the Yamaha one uses the straps. Do the Yam one also use cam locks?

Cam lock is sketchy. Buddy lost bag and two new belts (mine and his) after trying to get those locks fastened down. It came loose multiple times and the last time lost bag altogether. Arctic Cat replaced the bag under warranty, but we each had to buy new belts. They were still in their plastic bags! Pissed off!

Have you had any issues with the tunnel with all this weight?

Shouldn't be a problem on a 137.

No problems at all after 2400 miles with fuel caddy and bag full on LTX LE.
Many harsh trails also.

Not at all at around 1800KM. What a great setup!!! I only wish Yamaha had something similar.

I use these, sometimes I add a wp givi duffle bag over top!
