Hey all.. I have 3 questions...

1) I have this bag from Koplin. My Bag Model 92130. Paid almost $90.00 for it. Got it back on March 15th. I have about 350 miles of ride time on the bag. So far the zipper pulls have busted on it and the mud guard plastic lining underneath has started peeling away from the fabric. And the zippers are hard to zip up. Has anyone else had a problem with their Koplin bags. I was under the impression that they are one of the better built bags out there.

2) Does anyone have a hard shell box from Koplin ? How does that work for you? I noticed the dimensions are almost the same as the soft bags. Also how did you mount it to your front rack with the polaris c-channel system? Bungees or drilled thru the front rack.

3) Last one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Anyone have the flat fuel pack system for their quad. Also how did you mount that to the front rack? Bungees? Velcro straps?

Id like to mount a flat fuel pack on the front rack with a box above it..

I love the storage box in the front for the 06 models but hate the cover as it is really hard to mount anything onto the rack and I dont want to drill it..

Thanks.

 

After years in the military I've learned one thing..... Zipper wax is a must.

 

Or at least regular cleaning and WD-40. My rear box is from Tamarack. Take a look at my pics. I can install it in about 45 seconds, and remove it in about 10. I have had 4 rides with this box system. Each about 50 miles. NEVER once did a strap come loose. If it does, I'll give them another tug. When/If they keep coming loose, I will replace the 4 straps from Wal-Mart($10)!

 

The fuel pack is nice till it gets warm out. They have a dendency to expand or balloon in the sun or heat.

 

I use a ratchet strap to hold mine on to the front rack, with 100' of rope and a small shovel on top of the flatpack.

The Kolpin Flatpack is available locally for $49.95 (plus tax).

 

I paid about $150 for a Kolpin soft bag for the rear, and the zipper stopped working after 2 years. I called Kolpin, and they were understsnding. It has a lifetime warrenty. I was told to go to their nearest retailer, and exchange it for a new one. I made a deal with the dealer, and traded the soft bag for the smaller hard shell.
