Anyone else find a better location. After making the change I though it might actually be better on the other side by my hps can in the same spot.

pull your seat off, underneath there is a gap in the plastic frame, cut out a section of foam equivelant to the size of the tool kit, place kit in, reinstal seat.

My 02 cents

that's where I put mine, on the exhaust side in the same spot.

That looks to scary if a belt starts to let go. Put it on the exhaust side.

ditto put it on the chaincase side

 

[trinitypowder]

Yup, other side for me. It will get really dirty where you currently have it and if it ever let loose, having a bunch of heavy metal objects attacking your primary would not be good

Put mine in my riser bag.

I put mine under the seat as well, rides there perfectly. Carved out some seat foam to make room for it.

under the seat sounds pretty good,do you put it where the owners manual is?.

 

[snowcatter]

Yea I put it where the owners manual goes.

Leave it were it was.

Just take the plastic container off the belt cover, take it over to the table saw, and cut away everything you don't absolutely need. You should have a cup, with a rubber bungee left, when your done. Make sure to leave a couple mounting pegs, to clip it back on. Works great, and doesn't slow air flow much.

Above the right foot rest, better than coming loose and jumping into clutch. Don't cut foam out of seat as they do pack down later.

 

[bam530]

Use a cut off wheel and trim it down to just the box that the pouch fits in and mount it above the right hand foot rest. That is if you don't have a battery. Either bolt it or rivet it. I will post some pics later but this is what I have been doing to all of the sleds that go through my shop. ( again if they don't have a battery) Otherwise put it under the seat. It will defenatly let more air move through the engine bay with it removed from the clutch cover.

I stapped mine on the right side above the foot rest. Used a velcro ski strap and some aluminum and some rivets.

X2...the exhaust side. I believe it is where the battery would go on an electric start model. I used 3 zipties to hold it in place. I can slide it out if I need it. Been there for 1100 miles...no problems!

 

[mtnpull]

Lots of good info and ideas guys. I just moved mine to the exhaust side.

Nobody wears a backpack??? Keeps them dry, clean and rust free.

I went under the seat also. You only need to cut out about 3/8" of the foam. Then unroll the pouch and fold it over and flatten it out more (may need to rearrange the tools). Cut one of the little side ttabs off and slide it in under the white cross bar. Fits nice and I can't feel it through the seat foam. Unsnap the black tool holder and put on the shelf.

I had mine under the seat, but when I would put a knee down sometimes it would dig in. So I just moved it to the right footrest as shown in a previous post. Just used some velcro tape, works great.
