Default New guy with question..

New to the forum with a 1998 Honda foreman 400. We've owned this quad since brand new and it's been rolled once, ran into trees and things and also been put completely under water and still runs like a champ. I will say that this little 400 has better control and climbing abilities than my grandpas brand new 2008 Polaris although his Polaris might be faster, I don't care about the speed, I like to be able to get through the desert without worries of not being able to get around objects.

My question...
I'm looking for a rear cargo box that fits pretty good on my quad and would like it to have a seat as well, are there any good suggestions you might have and also if someone has pics of one on their quad tha would be great!!!

These are the two so far that I'm debating on, just not sure if they are a good size for my quad.

Thanks for any help!!!!

Thanks guys! Yeah that's my favorite too but I measured the back of my rack and it will hang over on each side a few inches... Think that will be okay?

From what I measured, it doesn't look like it will be more than the fenders but I did look at the width and I think it's too much.

So the first one Which is the nicer one is L42xW27xH17
The second one which is still a pretty nice one is L36xW20xH17

Being that the height is the same on both the second one looks like it would fit much better.
The rear rack on my quad is L38xW18 so the second one would be perfect on length and just be a few inches over on width which isnt bad anyway.

Thanks! That's what I'll probably end up getting!

So one more thing..
Any of you guys running HIDs on your quad? I did some research and know that I need the H6M kit and since it's in a small plastic housing, the 35w would be the best but the questions I have is if there are any problems with the battery running them? I've hooked a few different cars up with them and they're pretty easy so I take it it should be pretty easy on a quad as well..
