Using a Diamondback trunk bag (camo) setup on mine, fits perfect on the Outty, I just took off the straps & using 3 bungee cords to secure it, no worries if it gets wet, lots of compartments & storage & no issues with it shifting around.
You have any pics of it you could post up possibly? ThanksUsing a Diamondback trunk bag (camo) setup on mine, fits perfect on the Outty, I just took off the straps & using 3 bungee cords to secure it, no worries if it gets wet, lots of compartments & storage & no issues with it shifting around.
Nice bag. Is it zipperless and does it stay in place on the trails? Your bike is too clean, need to go get that thing dirty lolI have a Quadgear camo bag on mine. Has enough room for tools, 2.5 gal fuel jug and a small cooler for refreshments. It's upsidedown but you get the idea, lol.
Does it come with those conenctors? Seems to be a nice box! I think I'm personally preferring a box over a bag. I'll check out their website and see if they have one without the grips cause mine is just a single up quadI looked at the Can-Am hard box several times and I wasn't impressed with the build quality.
On the back of my Outty Max I have a nice Wes Industries Rear Cargo Box.. The images below are from the Wes Industries website as I don't have pictures of my machine.

The thing is positively cavernous inside. I carry four days worth of MREs and water, big first aid kit, rain gear, game bags, and still have room to pick up a little firewood along the way. It is solidly built, attaches with a sort of modified Linq connector (no mods to the factory rack required), and works well with the second seat after you remove the hand holds that on the seat. It is a little difficult to get the second seat on and off when the box is attached. Wes also makes versions for Polaris and for single seater ATVs.
On the front rack I have a Pelican bow case mounted with 2 NRS straps on the back and a ratchet strap on the front. I came up with a way of attaching it without disrupting the waterproof integrity of the main compartment in any way. I can stop, hop off the ATV, pop the latches on the case and grab my bow and go. Best way I have found to carry a bow on the ATV.

But those linq connectors are universal to all their boxes, correct?The box I have came with 4 "quick release connectors" and was pre-drilled for the Can-Am Linq rack. One hole was in the wrong spot so I covered it with duct tape from the inside and drilled a correctly placed hole.
If you don't want the second seat, then the box that you probably want to look at is the Wes Cargo Box.

It does not appear to come with the quick release connectors, but those can be purchased separately on the Accessories Page. Part number 115-0027 (quantity 4) $47.95.
A bit spendy compared to U-bolts, but you might consider getting them for whichever box you go with. It is a really nice way of taking advantage of the Linq rack with a non-Linq box. One potential drawback though is that you do end up with the nuts sticking up into the box.

I can see this could potentially impede the full use of the box, but this hasn't been a problem for me.

A lot of people have said that they are flimsy and hinges break easily. With a price tag of around $350 I would be hesitant on getting it just because of all the mixed reviews. I do like how it has the quick connects on the box though. Easy on and offHave no real issues with the Linq 32gal box so far. Lots of room. I do like the look of that Wes Industries box though![]()
Thanks for taking a look at them, greatly appreciated! My closest can am dealer is about 25 miles away out of the way and they don't usually have a lot of can am accessories. Now that I know someone has seen the box and says positive things about it, you think it will work on the new style racks? According to the website they say it will, but maybe you can say if it does or not. I would get those aftermarket linq connectors through wes industriesI stopped by the Can-Am dealer on the way home yesterday and they had both of the BRP boxes on display. I have to say that I am definitely impressed with the quality of the non-Linq box that you are looking at.

It seems significantly more rugged than the Linq box and I like the latch better. Although it is still only a single latch, it is completely external unlike the Linq box latch.

To open the Linq box, you push in on a lever (just to the left of the key hole in this picture), and that uses an internal linkage to unlatch the lid. I have had problems with this type of latch spontaneously coming open on luggage. I also worry about the linkage failing at a critical moment on the trail and being unable to open the box to get into my emergency supplies. Maybe two extremely unlikely events, but for the kind of money one has to pay for these boxes, one shouldn't have to worry about stuff like that.
