Can-Am Commander Prep for Tuareg Rallye.
Just thought I would pop a few photo's of the preparation on the Can-Am Commander 1000XT which I am entering in the Tuareg Rallye in March over in Morocco, Andy from AJS Tyres has entered as well with his Can-Am, it's amazing how much work goes into getting them prepared for an 8 day Rallye.

Here is a link to a video of what we have entered Shocked

Funky, I was looking at the Polaris versions at the Autosport show the other week (in which Alex here won the Safety Devices roll cage!)

Looking forward to the pictures Thumbs Up

Oh, ref the chartplotter etc I haven't seen a stacking system like that since the 80's Shocked Mr. Green

The reason for that is we have entered without a navigator Shocked so are using the same as the bikes regarding road book. If you have a navigator they would read the road book but i have my road book in the electric scroll so no need to flick though pages as driving along Thumbs Up

Good luck with that Laughing Thumbs Up . You might like to grab hold of an old Garmin 60 CSX from ebay, from memory the organisers recommend one, and a SPOT too.

The Can Am is looking fantastic btw. We're doing it next year on the bikes.
