aftermarket box hold-down?
Hey All..
Here's an idea for anyone who has an '05 Sportsman. I bought an aftermarket cargo-box but hate to have to use the straps to hold it down. I took some 5/16"x2" long steel pins and welded 5/16 cap screws to the pins.(these need to be welded "offset" and the heads of the screws need to be ground down to fit properly) using the "half-moon holes" that are on the "C-channel" Hard to explain LOL so I took some pictures. Small foam blocks hold the screw upright while you put box in place. Then some large flat washers and a nut pull everything together. The straps can be removed or used to hold other things to the quad.

Is it tough to get the Polaris seat off? Looks like the box overlaps the seat?
