'23 Summit belt storage

[bobsledder]

Prepare for numb nuts Bert. You won’t sit on it long just sayn.

Lol old guys should go for the x ?

ever sat on an expert seat? There aint no room for a belt that's forsure. Hardly any foam left in it as it is

Damn right. My sled has an "X" seat instead of the Expert seat. When I got it I asked the original owner what he did with the Expert seat. He said he left it at the dealer and swapped it out for something that you could sit on when you actually wanted a seat. My son and I swapped sleds and he agreed that my seat is way more comfortable than the seat on his Expert. But a spare belt also takes up no room in your pack either. Just forms to the outside of the pack and basically weighs nothing. Everything sits inside the belt as if it wasn't even in there.

the X seat is higher though. i dont like that about it but sitting down sometimes is nice on those long trails

Coming off e-start cats, the X seat is non existent. I can hop over that sled like there's nothing there. Still half decent to plant my a$$ on.

Need some risers in your boots Sean.

i plan on removing the belt box thing, zip tying the belt so that it's a small as possible and putting it in the backpack. i ordered the small gauge so no battery or compartment for it on the expert.

I added this to the sled like others and took off the factory belt holder. Looks way better and have room for other stuff.

Looked almost identical from memory. Good to know for when I get a new sled next season. I like that quick access compartment back there.

Yeah definitely keep it for the next sled. Belt fits nicely in there with room to spare for other goodies.

good idea. i used one of those boxes for awhile on my last sled and liked it.

All manufacturers should have an shaped indent molded into the top of the tank that fits a spare belt. Removing the seat to access it would be no big deal if they are lasting a full season.

Under the seat would be a great place for it.

Always has been. Not sure why manufacturers haven't used this often wasted space. Although the Summits don't exactly have a ton of extra foam in there. I used to carve out a spot for the belt on my Cats seat.

No that is what I mean. Do not cut into the foam but rather cut into the gas storage space. Bumping the tank out the back to make up for the loss of fuel storage would be the next logical thought.

I have told Norona that is what BRP should do It wouldn't cost them anything except a mod to the roto mold

Can't really afford less fuel on these things.

it happens so rarely i wouldn't even mind taking off the hood. Would it fit above the pipe?

 

[NoBrakes!]

I was thinking that too Max.. Like the XP. The new hood looks to come off with 4 or 6 screws?
