Mountain Addiction Cans and bag Mounting ?

Roost 'Er · Dec 11, 2012

Looking to run a Mountain Addiction 2x1.3gal cans and MA large bag on my 141" Crossfire LTD (M Seat).

Anyone know the following dimensions/ if it will fit? Measurements look very tight.

-Outside to Outside of the two mounting brackets (Up tunnel between Seat and Tail-light)
-Overall Outside to Outside of Cans and Bag (length-wise of sled up tunnel, width is fine)

It looks like i have 16" of flat surface for the mounts, so my maximum outside to outside of the two mounts would be 16", then i can overlap the rear tail-light with the bags overhand, and hopefully tuck cans tight to seat.

Any help will be appreciated.

on mine..07/m8 141 i had to remove the stock rack and then adapt an aluminum plate for a flat surface...you could look at raising your mounting surface a tad as well with spacers and plate if it helps it work for ya to extend over the tail light abit..?..

Thats what im thinking i can overhang the bag over the start of the tail-light plastic. You can kind of see on this pic i found on net, the mount for the tail-light goes down at those two points. I could get to 18" or so from that point to the point where the tunnel extension meets the actual tunnel.

it is going to be tight....i have both bags and cans if you need more measurements. the one thing i can tell you is the rails that hold the tanks/bag dont like the gap for you cooler, makes them hard to take on and off and support the weight.

Measurements would be huge help is it a 141" crossfire you have them on?

Worst case I was thinking a MA cans then the smaller cat m series bag behind it....

Don't tuck the cans too close to the seat. Makes it a pain in a$$ to get into your seat compartment. I put mine too close and sometimes need to take a can off to get something in/out of my seat. Not a major deal but just some advice from my experience. You might be better off with a Cat bag or something like that, that straps on over the tail light...?

Good point. So i'm thinking Mountain Addiction Gas Cans then this Cat moutain pack behind it...? Going to have to track down some dimensions for this too though, but its soft so i assume it should fit fine.

That should work fine. I have one just like that. Borrowed it to a friend or I would grab some dimensions for ya. If memory serves me correct...it only sticks about 3-4 inches ahead of the tail light.
