i got a $650 brp accessory credit with my purchase.. think this is what i'll go with.. unfortunately i'll need scratchers which aren't a brp item so I gotta pay more money for that!



  • Prefilter grill kit .. $114.99
  • Full body skid plate .. $134.99
  • LinQ Jerry can .. $124.99
  • Temp Gauge module .. $114.99 (I think it's such BS that I have to pay extra for this ...) or maybe i'll just get a bunch of oil instead and if my engine blew up one day i'll claim warranty
  • Spare belt .. $184.99


I think the X-Package comes with Temp Gauge as standard accessory now.

I've ordered:
+ Full Skid Plate
+ Scratchers
+ HeavyDuty Bumper
+ CFR Blades (tunnel stiffners)
+ Quikclickers
+ CFR iRack
+ LinQ Jerry Can
+ Cover

Thinking about getting a can, I had an MBRP on my 11 but it was super loud, kind of annoying for the other people I ride with, thinking Bikeman or SLP can perhaps, what you guys think?

Dont forget the accessory bag that fits great right behind the seat. Extra storage for around 70 bucks.
Handle bar bag is also a good idea for storage and padding.

I ordered The Thing from The Sled Shed. They have a nice rumble, but most importantly they have a muffpot built into the can. This is super handy on the xms because of the side panel access.

Just received a new issue of Sled Tech in the mail,has a write up about a great looking BRP GPS mount for the dash on the new style sleds. Pretty pricey but a sweet set up for sure!

Still not sold on the Lin-Q setup. Looks slick but interested to see how it works out. Quite often we'll pack a couple military style gas cans up the old mining road on first day and just leave them there until they're empty.

Still sticking with the Vortech rack for the back for now. The basic rack has given me lots of versatility over the years for all the crap other people have left lying around that we've packed out + my snow bungee hooks onto it really well.

The concern I have with the linq system is ease of fuel can theft on the hill. Put a Linq carrier on your sled and grab a can under the tree and gone in 2 seconds. With the old system I kept my strapping system with me so the theive would have to bungee the can on or try and figure out those stupid straps in under a half hour. Lol.

you going to add a beefy rear bumper AND cfr blades ? figured one of them should be enough to carry my skis and gas

yeah, i had HD bumper on my 11 and liked it... after the tunnel cracked, got it welded and ended up putting blades on too. do you know if the CFR racks can be mounted with the LinQ System?!?!?

Steve @ no limits was saying he's concerned about that damaging the tunnel.. he' going to mount one on his shop sled and see about recommending it to others..

I was thinking about just drilling holes in my tunnel and mounting it normally, as much as I hate to drill my new shiny sled

i just saw the Linq Jerry Can on a buddys sled, and it looks solid but I think I'm definitely gonna bolt my CFR rack onto the sled itself.
Hitting whoops on the trail with a board and tripod on the rack seems a bit much for that LinQ, but I could be wrong, gonna go in today and check some stuff out.

Does the X come with scratchers?

You should try my new Reversible Units....Most Dealers should have them in their stores now!
