"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is David and I am here to tell you about ATV's and accessories that go with them. We have another option here. This is a more generic hard box and it will fit on almost any vehicle. A couple of ways you can strap it down with nylon straps as we discussed with soft bags or a more permanent installation is with little u-bolts. It will require some drilling. So what you would do then if you wanted nice solid installation, drill a couple of holes, bring your u-bolts up to the bottom and bolt it down. It makes it a much nicer fit. A couple of other features that is nice is this if you are running one up, you can leave this here. Give yourself a nice back rest. It also gives you more tool space or more lunch space. If you decide to ride two up, please use the machine that is designed for it. Now you have a nice padded seat with a back rest and still have this space; space for long stuff. One like this cost about $300. "
