07 420 Rancher and rear poassenger bags
Just picked up a new 420 rancher last night and was wondering if anyone can recommend a soft rear bag that will work well for the sometimes 2 up riding that may take place. The seat seems somewhat short and the little trunk area is just plain "cheesy" and don't know if it would hold up.. Anyway looking at a soft bag with a padded seat or ever a hard one that would fit the rear rack good.
Thanks

I have put a 2nd seat on mine for my daughter. It will actually fit another adult. It was about $285.00 sokinda pricey. However it has 2 storage bins. Each one is big enough to hold a helmet. Has padded handles all around it. It also has about 4 inches of padding on the bottom. It connects to the rear rack using 4 U-bolts. I have a picture of it if you would like to see it just e-mail me. marhughes@ikon.com

if you do buy the cloth type trunk, make sure it isnt held down by fel-pro. i made the mistake of buying one of those type off ebay and didnt realize that it was held down that way and i dont like it a bit. get the ones that are fasten to the rack by belt buckle type. the fel-pro keeps slipping off and loosens up real easy.

Put the MUD Pro Padded Bottom Bag on mine which provides decent padding for a passenger when the need arises; the bags are insulated and seem to be well-made. The whole affair fastens to the rack at 6 points with buckles and straps, and the cost was about $94 for the Mossy Oak color with shipping.
Anyway, my wife and I tried it out this past weekend riding two-up on trails and old logging roads for several hours in the Siskiyou Mountains near our home. Neither of us are what you'd call big people, I'm 160 lbs. and she's about 115, and has ridden behind me on the motorcycle( '82 Honda Sabre 750) many times with few complaints about comfort. She says the quad is more comfortable for her as passenger, and she is easy enough to carry. It's just a different type of riding experience compared to a bike, like there is an added sense of security riding on a machine that feels akin to 4-wheel mountain goat. But my words are inadequate. Can anyone put their finger on it a little better?
