Thanks guys. I checked out the pic of the caddy. It seems to be overpriced. $24 for a piece of bent sheet metal http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sleepy.gif *I am going to make myself one. Not that I am a cheapo,but it looks easy to fabricate. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

On my CK3 chassis I can keep a few quarts of oil behind the
air box where the battery would be if I had electric start.
Can't say for the ZX but I did over 800 miles up in northern
Ontario this past winter with no problems. But that was just
going 50 KPH! http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif

A couple of us here at work were thinking of making some, plus my brother was going to give me the Powermadd one for Christmas.
There isn't really any room on a ZX to stick one. You could mount one on the RH foot rest beside the chaincase then you have to contend with the muffler heat.
If you've got electric start, the battery is there * http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif
I carry 2 liters in my tank bag & 2 liters wrapped in old face towels in the trunk. Running a thousand to 13 hundred miles up north, no problems.
I put my 1 litre oil jugs at the front corners of the belly pan right where the aluminim support brackets are they fit perfect in that location. IMO
Oggy is right the 1 litre oil containers fit in the corners perfect
