Seems like they gouge you for the simple fact we are stuck with no options and owning an atv is a luxury. $40 a tank bag that stays on with an adhesive!
$100 when all it is a nylon with some padding. I can buy a duffle bag with similar material for $15.

Look at truck tool box made for a truck $89, one for an atv is $200-$400.

I uderstand the economics of it but still i got to rant.

To many middle men. Add to that the fact that ATV's are a pretty low production item per model, but there are many models available. With trucks, one tool box may fit a million trucks on the road, but maybe only 20,000 quads. Yes, economics of scale can suck.

Buy a camshaft. It is 4" long, and fits in your hand. Buy one for a small block chevy, that is 2 feet long, and its half price. I'm not sure but I think that is rape?
