DIY Snorkel – 2016 850 XMR & other mods on the budget

I made my own DYI snorkel for 850 XMR. Thanks to other forum members pics and instructions, I was able to get all my parts from Lowes and HomeDepot. All in all, took be about 10hrs from start to finish.

Best part is I can remove the pod and have full access to fuse box if I need to.

Cost: $90 CAD.

No ABS/PVC glue where the pipes coming out. Just very tight fit. I can remove the pipes anytime with some elbow grease.



About 0.25" clearance on both sides:


Other Mods that did not break my bank:

9" LED light bar (mounted to lower front bumper. No drilling into frame/bike. Used lower bumper mounting holes. Been submerged many times. Waterproof switch mounted on handle bars. All wires connected direct to 12v supply with seperate 10amp fuse.
TIP: I used crazy glue to seal rubber sleve to switch for 100% waterproof. All parts form eBay.
Cost: $45 CAD


Phone GPS mount
I used 1" RAM Mount ball) mounted on custom aluminum plate underneath the cover + X-GRIP with USB charger (eBay). I used it on my Grizzly and it holds the phone solid. Even on bumpy rides. Phone will be protected in waterproof case.
Cost: $30 CAD
