Fuel Caddy/buddy/auxilary tank? 03 Summit

[Labradorian]

Just picked up a mint 03 Summit highmark 800 and i was wondering what options I had for gas cans or what ever to strap on in the back rack area................M I stuck with the standard jerry can and bungie cords, etc or is there something that will fit nicely in this spot(still strapped in of course)...............I think someone mentioned to me that Polaris has an auxiliary fuel tank that would fit nicely in the back...............

Thoughts anyone?

THanks

BRP makes one for their newer sleds that mounts on rather nicely. Bit pricey, but solid mount. A friend of mine just put one on his ZX chasis. Looks good.

I was looking on the Doo web site and could not find this..........just curious what it looks like, I would assume one has to mount some sort of mounting system to the sled first then the can mounts to it.?

Thanks

measure the distance from seat to taillight and i'll measure it for you,and its mounting brackets are included.little pricey but seen to many gas can disasters.

Doo discontinued the stock rack for the 02-04 sleds. What I did for my 01 summit that had no rack was buy a rack/rear tail light assembly from a 07 Legend and it went on beautifully. Looked better than the original stock rack would have. I removed the stock tail light, inverted the stock mounting plate and used it to seal off the OEM hole.

Was able to carry two 2.3gal gas cans if needed for long rides.

From the seat to the taillight is 9" and the rack is 15" wide.

These tanks are available on Ebay also.........Not sure how much doo is asking for them?

Thanks

I made a set of saddle bags that hold 4 gallons total to extend my range for springtime riding. Used an old set of motorcycle soft bags strapped together with velcro that rests on a seat blanket that has sleeves so the velcro can't come undone...wife made the seat blanket. You can buy saddle bags from doo also.
