Fuel can/tunnel bag setups

[catmechanic]

What is everyone running on their Ascenders? I just picked up an 18 162 and I am leaning towards the BCA tunnel bag with a Rotopax can. Has anyone done this combo yet?

I have Mountain Addiction setup, pretty sweet.

I run the bca tunnel bag with linq adapters and mountian addiction rails and works great

^^^^ I run the same as above but the other way with the tunnel bag next to the seat for lower profile when stepping over and to get to the shovel when the back end is dug in.

custom made rear support/bumper and mountain addiction setup. the MA rails are bolted through the bumper support for extra strength

No fuel can yet ,but this rack is super affordable, I've seen many places selling them for $100, I think mines 28 inches long, move the bars to certain sizes, then get a lunch bag and or gas can and bungee them on.

Gas cans + bungees = lost gas can

 

[bgraff1]

yup, bungees dont last down a whooped out trail or being rolled down the mountain. never had my MA cans come off and they dont even have the cotter pin installed

I haven't had an issue with bungies my self, just use the right length for proper tension.

I have found on the MA gas can if you only get it on one rail and think you have it on 2 then it will come off on the whoops! so when you put it on just grab the handle and pull up to ensure it's on 2! fyi this is a 40.00 sentence for free.

im running BCA bag andskidoo Gerry can, attached with linq system. I made my own adaptor brackets but realize I should have made them longer to support the can better. I’ll see how it works and rebuild if I have to...or just buy the adaptors.

I replace the thin stock tunnel with a take off from my 2014 Cat and just used the stock bumper. Way stronger than the pop can spec tunnel that comes stock. my buddy that did the work didn’t like the way the Linq brackets hung off the sides of the tunnel so he mounted them length wise. I rarely even think about packing gas where we ride most of the time so thats not an option yet with this set up.

My setup is a BCA Mntpro bag with LinQ and adapters that I modified to fit on top of Van Amburg tunnel braces.

Do you happen to know how thick the brackets are?

PM me and I will get the measurements you need.

I use the old BRP one with the strap. Never had an issue with it coming lose. I didn’t like how wide the LinQ one is and this one is easy to swing a leg over since it’s such a low profile.

Thanks for all of the input. After much consideration, I am sticking to my guns and going with the BCA bag linq mounted with a rotopax can.

next dilemma is do I put the fuel can behind the seat or the bag? On one hand, bag behind the seat is handy for getting things out of, especially the shovel when you are stuck. On the other hand, fuel can behind the seat is nice since it's lower profile to step over with your feet when riding.

I see people have done both ways on here, just not sure which makes the most sense.
