Don't bag on me, I sold my Polaris for a Doo this year. Just saying, that feature was free on my Polaris.

Those gauges have too many features for this ol' fart!

I need one of my kids along to show me how to figure out all the electronic technology..........

I just need to know about the throttle, gas level, and the heaters!!!!

Hey Doug,

Wouldn't it be nice to have a thermometer reading on your gauge that shows you when the turkey in your muff pot is finished cooking ;) ?

On the premium module it has a race or lap feature that allows the rider to set the guage to record up to 10 runs for comparison purposes when tuning the sled on the hill. It then replays your runs on demand to see what if any improvements you've made on those runs.

it also has a compass. such a waste unless you need it.

Has anyone tried RotoPax? Seems like a nice product, very modular and you can get them in black. The LinQ is definetly the easiest route. I won't go mountain addiction again.

Why "NO" on mountain addiction?

1) too high, hit them with my feet when crossing over
2) too pricey for what they are
3) don't hold enough fuel for their size/weight (twin jerry's at least)
4) Hard to get on and off at times (temp changes).

JMO, won't get them again ... look cool though especially in black and much better than traditional strapping can with bungies, I never had them come loose. I just think the linq is probably the way to go.

Here is a cheap add on... Oil reservoir neck sleeve.

Stops the reservoir neck from warping and leaking oil if you overtighten it.

Yep I would recommend that on all sleds. I never had an issue until one day I decided to cross thread my oil cap then it went oblonged. And let me tell you if its much easier to install it on a new sled than trying to squeeze it in an oval hole loool

Spare gas can (just cause I may need extra gas in Revy or Sicamous) but I won't carry it around here and a belly pan. The belly pan is added because I am a smart man and I have learned my lessons………...

I will doo some venting/screening and of course add The Thing (even tho' the pipe isn't formed and polished!).

Curious about the venting/screening. Are you going to keep the CVT cover? Is the venting so you can smell when the prawns are done?
