After waiting seemingly forever, my dealer called me today, my 800 Dragon 155 is supposed to show up on Saturday. Wanted to know what goodies I wanted for it. Told him to put a skid plate on it, as well as the windshield bag and a cover. Anything else that I need before I ride it? Will also be getting a spare belt and plugs. Thanks. :D

That's my plan, not really worried about mods yet, but just want to make sure that I have the neccesities covered before I take the Dragon out for its maiden voyage. Man I hope the call me with good news on Saturday. Would be a great Christmas present, except for the whole paying for it part.:D

A thing I seen last weekend that impressed me, was a heated handlebar bag. Buddy had it on his XP. It is a BRP product. Keeps your batteries warm in the camera & GPS. If anybody spots an aftermarket unit please post, as putting a BRP anything on my Yammy is not an option....lol

YOU COULD GET A "YAMMIE" PATCH SEWN OVERTOP???:rolleyes: JUST AN IDEA!

Wow, I'm out of the loop. What are "scratchers"?

:D:D Umm yeah you know they scratch. You can use them the scratch that itch on your back or scratch your name in the ice or bolt them onto the slide rails and when traveling on the groomed trail put them down to scratch up snow onto the sliders to keep them lubed up.
