Shovel mounts?

Ski bindings are superheavy. Still, I'd like to see some pics.
I just bunged mine and never lost a shovel.
Whoa what's that? Some kind of dual ski snowbike?! Is that like training skis?
jk. Yeah I've been using bungee but the movement of the shovel is really messing up my paint on the track kit.If you ain't stuck you ain't riding.

I also carry two shovels. One in my avy pack and one on the back of my bike. I built this mount and it works pretty good. I like have my shovel assembled ready to go.
tunnel shuval'
I have a shovel on the frame work of my TS, handle back, shovel over the brake, I welded a 5/16" stud to a 1/4 section cut of pipe that hose clamps to my TS frame, hole drilled in shovel with wing nut and pin. Quick and solid, been there for awhile, and I use it.
same dilemma the last 40 years on the sleds, we used to keep a huge aluminum scoop shovel screwed to the hood to make uphill switchbacks to get into the back country, was hard on our 340 yamaha hoods but more fiberglass patch's ...........goood to go.

Hmmm
Ya ever look at your buddy, and say,,,,, We probably shouldn't drop in there!
He just says,,,,,,, Yeah...... then he just nonchalantly follows you into the DEPTHS OF HELL!!!!
well,,,,, I guess it's just our twisted version of fun, but I just love a good challenge....... and, NO,, one shovel sometimes isn't enough!!
Nice Blue zippies......

Don't be poking fun at my old school bus
I helped work on this project with my buddy Mark Leipheimer.
No need for a shovel because I was to scared to ride it

Well that's neat^2! Is that a little oil cooler on the side? Dyno numbers?

That is an inter-cooler on the side, and you would have to contact Mark Leipheimer for the dyno numbers.
I believe he is still on Snow West. His handle here is APEXXPRESS
These quick-fist clamps are looking just about perfect for this! As long as they don't let go. Will test tomorrow. Thanks to all who responded.
Yep
I wish those had more of a positive latching system..

Tried it today and worked great. I agree they don't inspire a ton of confidence but you could always use two sets.

Where did u find them? Online?

Oh, I find the most interesting ways to get stuck
I get creative. I am changing my mind about the shovel thing, maybe you guys are on to something. I just feel like once the shovel comes out it is like admitting defeat
That second picture LOL!
eBay. I'm ordering the bigger size to try also. These are borderline too small. They make all kinds of interesting rubber solutions.
