Hmm, the last sled I had with NLC stuff on it blew up, twice, within a couple hundred miles. Bad juju or luck, either way I'd rather not have that on my sled again...superstitious, maybe!!
By the sounds of it you were riding an IQ 800 weren't you...
That's a Polaris problem, not a storage solution problem LOL
Don't worry, I owned a Dragon 800 too

Just picked up a NXT LVL bag from Sled solutions today, handy place for my two way radio!
