Yet another accessories thread sorry

[REV2XHEART]

The new sled should be in soon ish. First new sled in quite a few years for me.

Questions on accessories - the sled is a Summit

I know its sad to say but I never really needed the jerry can with the old sled so I an not going with one on this one.

The bag though. Did you go with the backpack soft one or the rigid one both with linq?

Adjustable handle bar riser?

Skidoo cover

scratchers? There are some new ones that go on skis now. I am not a fan really of the heavy cable ones but I don't know what to get really. Rail ice scratchers or the normal ones?

I will be switching up the skis. Not because I think the stock ones are terrible I am just used to the old set and I like em.

I think I want a set of handle bar covers. Just something to take the wind off my hands (plus I kind of like the way it looks)

skid plate is a must - normally I go with a full one

spare key of course I think

prefilter kit is already included in the purchase

Now some other parts I am just unsure about looking for insight from guys that may have used them

1. The CVT clutch cooling thing. I guess its just a different clutch cover? Says it lowers belt temperature and its actually the cheapest accessory.
2. glove box extension. I thought I heard someone tell me the extrension was a good idea. Its an expensive for what it is addition though
3. Also the glove box liner I again heard to get it, but I don't know if I see the point

What is totally useless?

What am I missing?

Jerry can worth of fuel is worth it in my mind. Ever have to spend a night out on the mtn? Would be nice to have that extra fire starter.

Here's my 2 cents for what it's worth. Pretty happy so far with current setup that my second will have all the same.

Go with the rigid linq bag. Just be sure to pack it full with a spare jacket or gloves to make sure your sandwich doesn't become a salad in the bag.

Adjustable riser is nice for rides out. Going with ski Doo one this year as it looks well built. Couple guys in group have them and they look to work good.

The new skidoo reversable scratchers are well built. The ones that go on the rails. I'm going with these this year. The ice storm ones work really good to.

Your sled already comes with the cvt cover so save your money there.

I think the glovebox extension would snap off if you ever rolled your sled to get unstuck. The new updated liner fits pretty good and should help keep the snow out. There was always a bit of snow dust get in there.

Like said before, the doo scratchers look like the ticket.

Skid plate, the full one collects a lot of snow

Keep the stock skis on for the first ride, I think you will love them, They are a deep keel and are a good for the sled.

Linq is a great feature, I just wish they made a base system for you to bolt on your own accessories.

Move the tools off of the CVT cover, you will someday find an allan key in your clutches..

From what I heard, just make sure the tarp doesn't flap at all, or it will shred.. Perhaps a couple of bungees would make that better.

Rear trunk, ok for a toque, but don't put keys or anything you want to lose in there... The doo rear trunk bag instead, is awesome.

Glve box extension works good. Rolled my sled lots last winter. Never had a problem If you have estart be aware it will start when you roll it. Always pull the tether.

Not a fan of the rigid bag systems quality. 3 out of 4 bags in our group have torn right at the base from stress of bouncing around and being rolled with the sled. Wish I could say I liked it, but it's having a hard time putting up with the abuse.

 

[tex78]

I bought a cheap back pack, and rail mounts

The back pack has spare shovel, saw ect

I wanted it removable just in case u have to leave the sled, and with the straps easy to carry

adjustable riser works pretty good. few guys in our group have them and they are solid.

skis are all preference. ive tried a few and am trying a new set of polaris grippers with shaper bars at the start of this season

handguards I used a set of flex tec rox guards. expensive but work awesome even when rolling the machine out

Jesus.... a bunch of pack lama's! lol. Snowmobile....remove snowflap....ride. lol.

 

[sick1]

Yep 9 km up to allan, but for the rest of us that go back 20,30,60 km might wanna put some extra gear on the sled lol.

very valid point.

Linq is a great feature, I just wish they made a base system for you to bolt on your own accessories.

.

You can get the LinQ Fastener P# 715001707. Another handy accessories that hasn't been mentioned is the 12V plug kit. Rail stiffeners and the S-module brace are also a good idea to beef up a couple weak points on the sled.

 

[Summitric]

Don't think there is a rail stiffener kit for the t3 yet

Wait... Less gear = better wheelies? There goes my avy bag!

 

[Summitric]

Linq brace, shouldn't need unless running big power according to brp rep.... Belts lasting for year or two

i didnt order the BRP stiffener kit i ordered this one. i like how it ties both rails together this is very important and something the BRP kit doesnt do. ive bent a few 163 rails in my time so this 174 needs this. 163 wouldnt hurt either. 154 should be ok

Yea that looks like a good setup,, Wish I would have seen that yesterday..lol What id really like is just to run ice ace rails,, Ill wait and see if I bend the stock one first though.
