Whip mounts

[Patyacht]

I have an ADV 5 and wonder if you can still open the back window. Looks sketchy for that to happen.

Ah ya I didn't think about that

I'll know soon because I ordered a set off Amazon. Why, because if they don't work, can't open rear window, I'll sent them back. Stay tuned.

My Glamis trip was a success! The Amazon whip mounts held great and did not come loose! I after some belt break-in miles, I started to venture in to the smaller dunes to get a feel for my new ride. I was pleasantly surprised how nice the ride quality was through some whoops. Also, I did end up getting in to some bigger dunes (Sunset Hill) to view the Sand Scramble races. I did have to abort on a couple dunes that were just too tall and soft for the X, but this isn't the this machines intended use. I was surprised at how far I did get with it though! It paid for itself Saturday afternoon when the wind and rain rolled in! The wife and I got in and closed the windows and fired up the heater and cruised back to camp..., DRY! So far, we are loving our ADV2 and look forward to using it where it was meant to be, on the trails! We’re also considering adding an ATV light whip to make our trail rides even more enjoyable.

I’m curious about this too. I’ve been looking at adding lighted whips to my Xpedition and would like to see how other people have mounted theirs. I’d prefer something sturdy that can handle trail riding and vibration without putting too much stress on the mounting point. If anyone has pictures of their setup, especially showing the brackets or mounting locations, I’d appreciate seeing them. I’m also interested in which mounts you used and whether they required any drilling or modifications. Any recommendations for a clean, secure setup would be helpful.

I have the same whip mounts as ADV42, they seems to hold great and don’t get in the way of the rear window.
