Stackable LinQ fuel caddy with shovel mount

Trashy · Sep 13, 2017

It's not very often an accessory grabs my interest like this, but seeing the pics of a Jerry can with a shovel attached in the 2018 Doo catalog has me curious....

Hopefully someone like Norona had actually tried this setup and can chime in. And before someone goes off on a tangent, yes I do carry a shovel in my pack as well.

Id like to hear some feed back on this as well, i bought the soft pack and dont really care for it, looking for a better storage that holds a shovel as well

Someone over on DT made mention that it was a Can-Am accessory that had been modified.

Appears to be this year's new shovel. Probably BRP planned on releasing that mount this year but maybe due to a supplier issue it didn't make the catalog. A linq mounted shovel would be one of their number one sellers it shouldn't have taken this long LOL

Maybe this is part of it???

There are a couple pics in the catalog, mounted on a sled in action in the mountains. But no listings for the item.

The shovel kit is a kit that a dealer had manufactured themselves. Dealer is in Canada I believe.

I saw that kit last year. The shop is in Westlock.

Does it look like the same setup as in the BRP catalog? It looks different because in the video that is on the older gas tank this looks like an actual linq setup in the doo catalog

Well, this might be off topic, but why doesn't BRP make any of their "semi-rigid" tunnel bags with shovel mounts? The only option is the circa 1998 "slim tunnel bag" which I'll probably end up buying just to carry a backup blade and handle on the tunnel. Engineering in a vacuum.

We had this accessory during the photo shoot, hence it is on the catalogue photo, however it was cancelled in production, not there yet and it is also hard to mount a shovel on a semi rigid bag due to the fact that in deformation, the shovel might come off. Until it works perfectly it one won't be released. Cheers dave

It can be done. I've used this semi-rigid bad for two years and haven't lost a handle or a blade. Just wish Doo would have a similar option with the LinQ system:

Touche!

That bag is very nice, the BCA bag is also well done, guess I should have said that the soft tunnel bags Ski-Doo does now would be a challenge to do, but I have pushed for a similar bag to what you have posted. We will see!

Thanks for the info, Dave..!

I hope they get it perfected soon. Until then I will continue to tarnish my Doo with a Polaris tunnel bag. :face-icon-small-sho

There isn't a single Linq mounted accessory that I would even consider putting on my 850, they are just too big a bulky and look ridiculous. Ski Doo is supposed to be the innovated force in the sled industry and Polaris came along with the Burandt bag stole the show.

I want to put one on my Ski Doo but I am having a hard time putting a Polaris branded accessory on a Ski Doo but if they don't come up with something better I may have to take the plunge.

Come on Ski Doo please figure something else out that looks DECENT with a shovel mount!

If someone else has better bags use them. That way doo won't sell any. Then they'll have re-evaluate their product, hopefully come up with something better.

Tunnel bags are for fat chicks and the birds :face-icon-small-con

Tunnel bags add weight in the worst possible spot. Back pack Jack.

Your the guy with his fuel caddy on his back aren't you.

Honest question, why do you want two shovels?
