revrnd Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I've been asked to make a set of adapters to mount the 62L cargo box on a 'shorty' chassis. If anyone is consider this box, I've taken a couple of pics showing it & my SR21 (21L) tunnel bag. The pictures don't show the size difference the thing us HUGE! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barberch Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) I have the big one. You can take everything you need in there and it isnt bad looking on the sled either. You can stack on top of it too. Heads up, check the hinge pins, both mine fell out on first ride.

revrnd Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 The 'short bag' I had ordered came in this week. To give you an idea of its capacity it will easily hold a box of 15 12 oz cans... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Borrowing a friend's small gas caddy to see how it fits. I've sorted out the stuff I carry so this bag will be OK down here. I'll keep the SR21 bag for trips up north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never that concerned about oil when we were doing loops up there. Top up the oil reservoir before leaving & pack a couple of liters. A lot of gas stations had a pretty good selection of 2 stroke oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For daytripping I think the short bag is fine. On a XS chassis 'doo the SR21 needs a bit of modifying. I haven't tried installing it w/o the dual accessory bracket installed. The smaller toilet bag holds my 'tool kit' and the bulkier 1 holds a first aid kit & some 'spares'. Still room for a pair of gloves, tuque or hat.

That said the manufacturers spend all this money to make the sleds lighter. Why add weight on the back bumper (worst place to add weight) for regular local riding.

I almost needed my 14 litres for the truck was on fumes coming into NB. Fueled in Kap and thought I would be a bit better on fuel. But made it. And now dump it into the sleds for the summer storage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice that its the small can & not the larger stackable can. I have seen pics on DooTalk of those cans where the attachment points on the bottom have come apart. I know BRP shows pics of bags (including the SR21) on top of the can, but I'm not 1 to tempt fate. There might not be a lot of stress on a flat trail, but I imagine a whooped out trail would cause the combination to start rocking fore & aft on the can's mounting 'plate'.
