Anyone got a box they can recomend. I see you can buy one for the 700 from yammie but not the 660 but at close to $600 i wouldnt buy one anyway.


So anyone know of an aftermarket box to suit. Thinking about getting a custon alloy box made

Personal I guess, Things like my arial and my Bow / Gun rack can screw to the top, the lid is designed to carry tools like chain saws posthole diggers so it can carry a good load on top.

Hey fox you have a weapon there

My mate has an 08 (it think) i thought the Grizz was lots of fun till i got on the 750 twin FAR OUT i shat myself the first time i nailed it and the thing nearly done a cartwheel on the spot. The only thing i didn't like was it seems to have very bad ground clearence but sure does go stop steer handle better then the old Grizz

I hope that you dont ever tip it over and have it land on you as the sharp edges will be a killer,

the front brakes on my 09 grizzly are ten times better than the old 660 grizz front brakes, not sure what was done to improve this ,

With 5k + worth of guns on the front 99% of the time i am on the quad i tend not to put myself in that situation (although i did tip it on its side one day lol)

Might look at braided lines although they aint bad enough to go spend $500 on (if it would be that much)

Yeah I went thru all that with the box on back of 700 griz. Coould have fabricated ally one myself but weight and crash factor put me off . Got a Kolpin from austraco for 230 and is a good size , fits a lot more than the standard yamaha box.

they are not $500 thats for sure, check out a few brake places in your area, and them made up or buy out of the states directly, will save a few penny that way for sure.
