Rear Lock and Ride Cargo box dimensions
I was looking into drop racks to make carrying my chainsaw a little easier on my 2008 Sportsman 500. In my search to find one, I came across the lock and ride rear box and it should fit my needs better. The only thing I am worried about is if it's big enough for my chainsaw.
Could somebody give me the inside dimensions, including the heigth?
Also, has anybody made their own backrest? $100 seems crazy for the Polaris one!

OK, these are rough measurements (it's raining out, and ATV is only under cover... not in shed LOL)
Anyhow, inside length is about 36" except the two recessed areas that are taken up by the lock & ride retainer on the outside. That area is about 31 1/2" long.
Inside width is around 9".
Inside height is roughly 8 1/2" inches.
If it's any help, my Stihl 290 Farm Boss wouldn't fit width wise or height wise... the handle and bar brake are to wide and high.
I ended up getting the front metal rack, and strap the chainsaw down good with a couple of bungy cords.

I can check the Dim. when I get home if they are not up by then. As far as the back rest, I got my girlfriend to sew a couple Velcro strips on the back of a pillow and used 2 sided tape on the box for the other side of the Velcro. The pillow is more comfortable than the backrest, and it doesn't get too dirty since someone is generally leaning against it. If it gets dirty I will just by another $10 pillow and do it again. $100 is crazy!

Bummer, it doesn't look like it's going to work. I need no less than 9" wide and 11.5" high.
If somebody could get me the exact dimensions I would appreciate it.
Also, can you separate the lid from the box or is it always attached? I wouldn't mind riding around with the lid off when I did chainsaw work but then could put it back on for better protection with small items.

Don't think you can separate the lid from the box.

I saw that thread when he posted it and his idea turned out well. My only issue is that I want a rear storage box anyway so I'm trying to find something that will accomodate my saw. The othe issue is that I don't have the add-on rails around the perimeter of my rack so I would have to modify his idea (not that it would be too difficult though).
I may start a new thread comparing drop racks versus bolting on larger cargo box (something like a diamond plate tool box or plastic foot locker/storage trunk).
