Was wondering if ABS would lower the price, with other options out there now, the $100 was kind of hard to swallow.

I see online in some places its like 29.95,likely the states but I think a 100 bucks for a blasting cap and a shot of co2 is ridiculus.
Oh well, I will post the cost when I find out

I think it's a lot cheaper then that... It was 100$ years ago before they became more popular, I think they have dropped down to like 40$ or less.

I believe the reason it's that much because it's filled and calibrated back in Europe, and shipped here. Either way, it's not some scuba diver or fireman filling it up. Hence the gram weight and requirement to weigh it every time.

I'll gladly pay 40-50$

BTW, I know Bow South in Calgary has them in stock because they sell the bags. If a company sells the bags and doesn't sell or stock the cannisters, don't support them.

Did you pull your cord Catmando?? Was thinking if the price is cheap ie 50 bucks or so I wouldn't mind pulling mine annually just to make sure it works.

I just got mine exchanged at Bow cycle south in Calgary. I had the black one and exchanged with yellow one. I think it was suppose to be more because I was going from black to yellow (like 100 bucks) but the charged me around $40 plus 5 for a cap (total 47.50 with tax). They said it was ilegal to transport with out cap.

I also called and spoke to an ABS tech and he said that the black ones don't meet north american std's and thats why the swithch to Yellow. The best way to find out if yours is good is to weigh it and if it's +/- 5g from whats on the bottle sticker then replace if not your good to go.

Also if you fired it off (as I did to test it because I bought it used) place one drop of gun oil in the quick dissconnect for the "t" handel to prevent corrosion.

note when you pack up your air bags make sure that you can see the two yellow crosses inside on either side so you know your packed right. The reason is 2/3 of the air for inflation comes from the atmosphere not the bottle and you need those valves to be clear and not wrapped up.

Lastly if your t handel connection is silver (not goldish plated or black) then you need to replace it because it's discontinued.

Yup Norm I just pulled it,the bag is two years old and I know I set it off when I bought it but I thought two years and countles rides and all the rest that weather throws our way I wanted to renew the cap and the bottle as well as inspect the rest of the pack to make sure it is all good and it is!
Peace of mind thing for me!

replaced mine earlier this year in Cooke City. Accidently set off the bags in the middle of a meadow, hooked the handle on the brake lever bending over the bars to clear snow from the intake on the sled. The snow was sick, keeping the sleds aspirated was a challenge. Charged me $150 at the arctic cat dealer for canister and trigger. I guess when your in the middle of nowhere you pay what the guy behind the counter says or go with out. That said, he may have bent me over a bit on the ABS stuff but gave another guy in the group pretty good deal on a couple of a-arms and a shock for his M-0 after finding a rock and got us back out riding.
