Default Mounting a box to the beast

Hi, My '06 Sportsman was purchased and came with a rear box, which was not mounted. I don't really see any useful mounting points either...Any suggestions on how to mount this?

I'm not sure what the rear rack looks like on your Polaris, by my Arctic Cats were very easy to mount to the "Speed Racks" Try to get 4 1/4" hex bolts with large fender washers to bolt thru your rack. Use lock washers, maybe locking nuts. Gotta be well bolted or it will get pounded loose. It's nice to have a box for storage. I keep tow straps, chain saw accessories, tow chains, all kinds of stuff in mine. Also like a box or bag for front storage. Check out this Cabelas bag on the front of my AC 400, it is designed to strap on the fwd rack, and you can collapse it if you need to wrap a deer on.

Thanks Polaris Tech.

Not sure exactly which ones in that list.

Would these work?

Yes. Look at the bottom of the page at all models that they fit. The 2006 Sportsman 500 is shown,page 9.
