Cold Weather Riding

[SpyderL]

Went for a few mile ride this morning. Tire chains on the rear.
5 degrees F this morning

Kind of looks like a snowmobile with the chains on the back

Like anything needs to be done to make it look more like a snowmobile? It is practically a snowmobile with wheels as it is.

That is an old trick I used to use for playing in the snow... My hands ended up all water logged at the end of the day, but they were warm!

Question: What kind of chains didyou use and how much clearance did you have between them and the fender?

The clearance is tight, i will take pics of chains tonight and post for you. I will also get you the brand of chains. I bought them locally. But with the brand, you should be able to get the same where you are. The clearance of the drive belt, is more of an issue than the fender.

I'd be VERY careful about them if there's any chance of tearing anything off of the bike tha BRP put there...

Tire chains came from qualitychaincanada.com/

The clearence is tight and if you install, you have to make sure chains are very tight so they dont hit the four screws that hold fender on or the drive belt.

ummm I think if some one is going to ride in the snow then a snowmobile would be the answer


least for me it would be

but I HATE the cold so no riding in anythign than a nice warm car for this cowboy
