Yamatario Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I picked up my Kimpex bag and mount today. It's a tight fit and not fully tighten down yet as I am still wrenching on my sled yet. Trying to pimp it out with some blue LED lights yet. I still want to get the 1gal or 1.75 gallon white container for oil to fit on top of my gas container. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Was planning on buying the Kimpex bag today at Wildbill’s place but seeing the bag in person, it looks smaller than I think what I will need….and don’t want to buy two bags. Looking at the LinQ 40L adventure tunnel bag now….not overly bulky and offers more room. Anyone have one of these bags?

J Feces Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Yup. I have on on my 146 backcountry. Lots of storage. Works well on this machine….I don’t think it fits my renegade tunnel though. Might be linq connector placement? Not sure? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure?  Good point - I wonder if it will fit on the Renegade, I think so based on the description on the website.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Bought the adventure bag and it arrived today with a couple of other items - LinQ lock & electric shield adapter. It fits very well & the 1+1 seat should fit between the bag and the seat based on the pre-marked holes in the tunnel! Â 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, maybe a bit bigger than what I wanted, but the Kimpex was for sure too small and I wanted something with a lower profile vs. boxy......so this is what I decided on. Having a bit extra room is not such a bad idea, especially since I plan on taking each of my kids on a trip at some point for a couple of days, so the added room may come in handy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 And I forgot to mention, this bag that is BRP, Lynx sells as well....but for $20.00 more for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 @stoney, why did you go with cable style scratchers?.  The bag looks good. Doo's linq stuff is the best.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Doo has the tunnel mounted ones that seem to have great reviews - odd person has claimed there's did break......but visually I do not like them hanging down from the tunnel. I had full intentions of buying the ones the that mount to the a-arms, but again I was not overly impressed with strapping an aluminum clamp to my a-arm....

I've only ever used the Doo tunnel mounted ones. Been using them for quite a few years now. No issues with them whatsoever, even crossing train tracks with them. We will be running them on our '22's as well. Here is a pic of them installed in my '21... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 @stoney, when you have some time, is there anyway you can take and post some pictures of inside that bag?. Please and thank you... 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volunteer2 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Doo does have skid mounted scratchers too   https://shop.ski-doo.com/ca/en/860201728.html  any reviews ?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Here ya go. Once you unclip the outer cover, there is a zippered flap that has a pouch. Inside the compartment is another zippered pouch at the rear plus a hard plastic divider at the front that unsnaps. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some like them, some not. Some like cable scratchers as well. I personally like the tunnel mounted ones from Doo. They stow up and out of the way, you can reverse while they are deployed and do a good job of filling and loading the skid up. The rail mounted ones and the cable style ones, I've seen do damage to tracks, and both break off easily. Yes some have had the tunnel mounted ones break also, but in my own experience, the have been flawless. I once forget I had them down, and crossed several rail Crossings with them down without a issue, other then the loud bang they make flicking back up and hitting the underside of the tunnel, where they mount.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
