Thats the same conclusion I came to! But my quad is rarely left unattended where someone can steal my gas. I think if I had the packs on a jeep or truck that I drove around town, etc, then I'd probably get them.

Nice engineering though!

 

You all say Rotopax mounts are better quality. Well I bought them when i got the containers. But they came boxed in Kolpin boxes? I then compared the product to the Kolpin mounts online and they look completely identical, UNLESS when Jason left Kolpin company maybe he uses their kit as a core and adds to it or something?

thoughts?

They are a completely different product. Perhaps they used the Kolpin originally, but of the few people I know who bought their stuff recently they are all a new design.

From what I understand they are also a different size - I don't think the Rotopax mounts will fit the Kolpin tanks.

 

The nwe RotoPax mounts are different (aluminum). The Roto-pax will fit on a Kolpin mount, the Kolpin will not fir on a Roto-Pax mount.

 

my rotopax mounts just came in and they were in a ups bag, nothing about kolpin anywhere. very good quality!!

 

I went with the one gallon pax over the 4 gallon because of the headlight. At least I have use of the headlight till I turn sharp.If you guys decide to install one in the front box you will have to cut into the support egg crate to make it fit I now have four more gallons

 

Gaspumpcity,

Will a one gallon fuel pack fit inside the front lock and ride box?

 

The one gallon on my unit will not fit until you cut away at the bottom of the upper front lid you only need 1/4 inch for the lid to shut. The rear box will hold the others pax Im making straps to go inside the rear box to keep the pax tied down I have a sthill saw straps misc in the box.

 

Was that on the side of the front box or in the middle of the box that you tired?

 

I do not think you can install it on the side because on my front box lid there is a metal support that gets in the way.I did try it in the center and lid wont shut I have the 2010 front lid if this makes a difference yours might have more room.
