Any of you see or have this. Looks like a nice way to carry that extra gas, etc. A little spendy though. Or do you all prefer the flat gas packs you refer to in the other threads?

I've seen a few..... and others that have a similar concept. Good for long rides..... I wouldn't recommend it for rock crawling.

and.. Yes..... Some are very expensive at $400.

The thought of backing into something, or having someone slide into me, or flipping your quad on its back concerns me with regard to having a gas can in the rear. Concerns me even more when they ride having their spout connected and exposed and not recessed into the gas tank.

I saw a guy who had a rear gas can do a wheelie (gone over on it's back) and tear his spout off. Gas everywhere. His quad should have caught fire..... lucky bastard.

This last weekend a gal I was riding behind didn't have her spout closed tight enough and every time she turned right... fuel would shoot out spraying fuel all over... including on me.

Yep, I'll stick with my flat packs up front.

MrBill, I had something simialr to that on the 600, only in the 5 gal version. Came in very handy for the long hauls.

I do like the idea of keeping the quad short in length so the flatpacks are catching my eye.

Why would you ride with the spout open?!?!

I don't no who Mr. M was talking about with the open can.
My friend has flat pac's that I can use from time to time but for the money I like the two 2Gal. cans mounted in the back. They will be a little lower than your 5 Gal. can holder and one on the left and one on the right. Keeping the center open for brake light and back-up light.
