gas tank wrap

[snopro_ac]

got a gas tank wrap today, not much room left on the sled for anything more.

 

[AkLogan]

is there something over ur head light?

 

[snopro_ac]

nope it's just the sun, they make a wrap for them too though

 

[AK800VE]

how flexable are the mounts and the guards themsleves? think they will handle roll overs good?

also, is there anything holding your snowbunji on?

i've flipped last years sled over with those guards on it they turned down, i loosened the bolt and put them back where they started. they are polaris mounts and i just sawed the mounts off the guards and drilled holes so they would work with them. the bungee is stuck through the holes on the running boards and sits between the bag and the tail light. the top part of the shovel holds it down there. last year i just used a short pull strap to hold it on the bumper but this sled is longer than my assault was, it won't go anywhere.

Tank wrap looks good man! Sweet looking sled. Noticed your shovel is tucked into the pack on the tunnel though? You carry one on your back too?

 

[snopro_ac]

Nice Nice! I think way too many people keep their shovels on their sleds, doesn't do you anygood if you get in a situation and need it when your sleds buried!

oh ok, Yea I was thinking about seeing if I could get the ski-doo handguards to mount up. The mounts and guards are super flexable...anyone try this before?

Here's mine with polaris pro-taper mounts and low chrome windshield.

does the polaris guards have much flex?

Where can I find that fuel caddy? great looking sled!

does the polaris guards have much flex?

Generally, the plastic guards will bend a bit and I haven't broken one in 3 years - either on snow or on dirt single track. Typically, the mounting screw for the plastic slips and the guards turn downward when rolling the sled out of a stuck and they look like droopy dog ears. sometimes just lifting them back into place works, sometimes you have to retighten them. I usually retighten them a few times a year. The mounts will break every so often if your son lays it down on an icy trail in the woods. Oh, the allen head screws are metric so carry your metric hex key set.

So, in way too many words, they seem pretty tough. I'll just be using the stock winder and bypass the handguard thing this year...

Very nice look. How many days work to get the trailer out of the garage?

 

[snopro_ac]

what trailer in the garage?

i don't know where i got that fuel caddy at, i know i ordered it off the interent but i can't remember where i got it. i had it on last years sled too, it holds the tank down tight too, i need to order another one too.
