Let see what aftermarket accessories are coming out for our G5's. My build includes CFR bars, some kind of rail reinforcement, front and rear bumpers and Trail Tech Voyager Pro.

best aftermarket accessory is a clutch kit. i received a new one from iBackshift a coupla days ago and it'll be going in the new sled as soon/if it comes in. tunnel mount scratchers are another item that have proven their worth but it doesn't look like they fit on the G5's because of the redesigned skid so maybe run an xtra set of rail mounts? not sure on that.
i like the USB charger for the glove box.
i prefer a shorter riser so i have the BRP adjustable one permanently locked in the low position.
deep snow grips which these sleds should come with standard as the stock ones leave a lot to be desired.
i also run the RPM composites brake and chain case protectors which i remove and install on each new sled. was at a sled convention a few years back and a buddy took out his brake on a stump and had to drive the 10+ hours back home just a couple of days into the trip. that was an eye opener for me.

How does a guy from Ontario have a clutch kit dialed in for a new Turbo that only a select few have ride time on? Wouldnt you want to try the new doo clutching before investing in a clutch kit? I just re read what i wrote dont mean to come across sounding like a d!ck but seems premature to pull the trigger on a $400 ? kit.

fair question and i would normally ride it first but with my experience from having his kits on my 20 and 22 freerides, i figure he knows what he's doing on what is still basically the same engine and clutch.

I heard i should see my sled next week. G5 175 Expert. I have the Skinz bash plates on my 2022. Hoping to verify fitment but i dont think they will work.

Here’s mine… so far BRP rear bumper, skid plate, usb, voyager pro, waiting on bmp front bumper, deciding on Diamond S Ti or RPM Ti Can either one must fit muff pot. As for clutching just gonna ride first then figure that out in time.
I probably get brp risers that are 1-1.5” taller than stock… my legs are long with short body so it just works better for me.
165‘S for days getting built…

I think there's a glovebox extension that raises it up
I love that rear bumper, might have to get one....

I should have G5 backwoods bumpers soon. Once Paul gets his sled we will test and tune on the clutches. Seems weird guys are buying clutch kits that havent even been tested in the mountains yet.

The G4 rear seat storage fits perfect. Got rid of the heart shaped belt storage in lieu of this. Not a huge amount of storage, but at least I have room for a tool bag and a few other items here in addition to a spare belt

I run a bungee over the top of that storage
Have broken 4 (all warrantied) with my foot
The hook that the strap goes over bends when warm and snaps off in super cold. Almost lost my fancy BRP tool kit but did lose 2 nice fold up saws
