Fuel can/tunnel bag setups

[bnorth]

Fuel can behind the seat. Keep that weight as close to the front of the tunnel extension as possible.

^^^^ 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.

Have you ran into any issues with the weight of the fuel in the back?

This has crossed my mind. I am going with the 1gallon rotopax so I can keep my factory bag on there as well. so, 8 lbs of fuel plus the weight of the can. I plan to buy one of the large mounting place to displace the weight a little more which might help. I also am not so sure that my pack will be under 8 lbs when loaded.

That's a really small fuel can, I wouldn't as concerned about that weight. Mine is almost 3gal so I keep it further forward as it is definitely heavier than my tunnel pelican case.

No problem over 1600 miles but I only put the 1.3 gallon can on it.

Skidoo tunnel bag and gas can. Linq plate adapters. Rogue Concept full bumper stiffens tunnel for the extra weight.

Very nice looking to do something very similar this summer.
