Look up CFR ... Cheetah Factory Racing. I believe? I haven't used it personally, but the guys from sledshot.com use them religiously.

I have a Cheetah rack and it is one of the best things I got for my sled. Really handy, and super solid. No rattling or shaking, keeps your board away from your feet, and you can get a bag for it as well since there's no storage on the XP.
Got mine at GSR in Golden.

I made a simple rack system for my REV. I think a similar job could be done on the XP's. Cheap. Did it for like 20$ and just used our shop to do the metal.

Holds two boards without issue. Super solid, however the boards are on the foot channels, but I find they don't bother me unless I'm really doing tricky stuff. The other downside is there is a bit of wear on the boards because of the cheap materials. I hope to fix that with a little work this year though.

I'll see what I can do. I need to get the sled out of hibernation here soon. I'll see if I can grab a few showing the "mount". Cost me I think 20$ in snowboard buckles and the metal/bending was free. Maybe 5$ of bolts.

Never have an issue with it. I've rode some pretty deep snow and didn't even realize it's on the back after awhile.

I found Knight Rider Racks to be the cleanest looking snowboard rack for my 146. The kit comes with both sides but I only need one board rack so I split the kit with my brother. The only thing I added was an elastic from a set of burton gloves and attached it to a supplied eyelet mounted in the opposite side of the tunnel and the ratchet strap. Keeps the strap from hanging off the side of the sled when not in use. I also swapped out the rivets for stainless acorn nuts and machine screws. Super sturdy setup with a board in it and the ratchet strap is designed to break away if the sh!t really hits the fan.

how dose the board mount on that do you have any pics

[YellowMissile]

No pics but the board just slides between the tunnel and the front peg. The edge of the snowboard sits on the plastic mounted on the foot board just ahead of the front peg. The back of the board slides in between the wing and the post, snowboard edge also sits on a plastic spacer. The ratchet strap goes over the board in between these two points and tightens the board down. Just google them and I'm sure they will have some pics on their website of boards attached to their mount.

Knight Rider works awesome.. can ride around all day like its not even there.. I've rolled my sled many times with boards on and no damage to sled, mount or board.. no plastic to break..

Sold and installed in Golden, but I belive if he is in Calgary he will do it there too.. they did ours on Dec 24th last year ~$350-400 if I remember right

I thought you were joking when u said you wanted one at the show. Those look pretty sweet, prob could find some nice powder to ride on, just sled will have to follow you down?!

Sorry i haven't posted any of mine yet. It's really quite simple and works great. Similar design as the above, but used with cheaper materials that work perfectly fine.

I've yet to "finish" it off, as I only installed it as a test, but it works great. I'll see if I can run out the garage right now and snap a pic.

Here ya go. Don't mind the mess, or the sled which needs a good polish. Like I said, I will cut the bolts off flush, and coat the bracket with box spray liner. Other then drilling through the bumper, and using the existing belt clips, the sled remains untouched.
