Does anyone know of a company that makes a short low profile cargo box that fits the front rack on my 16 grizz and won’t block my headlight on the bars? I measured and it can only be about 4 or 5 in deep

New member here. Haven’t yet pulled the trigger on a bike, but I have already learned a ton from all of you. This site is obviously a tremendous resource and has a truly excellent member base.

So quick question for the group: I’m already sold on the grizz, but looking to make the best purchase decision possible. The ’16’s are obviously cool, but my local dealer has a pair of new ’14’s at $7,300 each. They claim to have only assembeled them a couple weeks ago, but obviously no way to verify. At any rate, the bikes are clearly new. No fancy camo, which isn’t a big deal for me, but they don’t have EPS. I’m not sure if it’s a deal breaker or not for me, but I’m certainly not as into it as I would be if they had the EPS.

So, I guess my question is actually two. Is $7,300 a good price for a left over ’14 with no EPS? And, is EPS really that big a deal?

If I do go through with a purchase, I expect to keep the bike for a long time. My riding would vary b/w LA mud, CO trails, and everything in-between.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I have two ’09 grizzs, one is a 450, the other 550. I have been riding them like they were stolen, since I purchased them new.
I have gotten a lot of great tips and info from ppl at grizzcentral here before and I am hoping to gain some insight as to what i will need.:gcrules:
My one way bearings are going on both machines and I was a lil upset that they seem to be going for about $90./piece. I have had some bad experiences with moose aftermarket axle boots and I don’t want to mess around and have to do these again for another 5 yrs. The clutch on my 450 is hurting since I started runnin 550 rims with stock sized executioners. The clutch talk that I hear is confusing, and it seems like there is a lot that can be improved for better performance. I ride a lot of muddy rocky nasty trails, skid logs, tow boat, tow trailer, haul maple sap, deer/bear(whatever is in season):lala:
What clutch, spring, weight, shim combo should I use for these machines ??? And are aftermarkets better or just cheaper ???
All info is greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance

Went out for a ride yesterday with a mate. He was in an Arctic Cat Prowler 700 XT. It’s been raining here in the North of Australia for several weeks almost non stop. The wet season is really upon us. So there was plenty of ground water to ride through. We were cruising along at a far pace on a good dirt road about 70kph (about 45mph). When we came around a bend into a body of water. The buggy was in the lead and hit the water under brakes. It seemed to aquaplane and then lurched to the right and then slowly roll onto the drivers side and came to a stop in a cloud of water. I pulled up pretty quick and raced Over to help my mate out of this seat belt. He was almost under water. It was just less than knee deep. His wife was in the passenger seat high and dry, hanging in her seatbelt and they had a young child about 7yo with them in the middle seat. Also stuck in his belt. Needless to say they were both freaking out. I managed to calm them down and got each out of their belts in turn. Then went about using the winch on my grizz to pull the buggy right way up. It wasn’t until then that I even though about getting some pics. Lol. But a valuable lesson learnt here. Slow down along unknown tracks. Wear a helmet. Neither my mate or his wife had a helmet on. The young child did. Wear some gloves. The only injury was my mates hand. It came out of the cabin and hit the ground when it rolled over. Mostly minor cuts and scrapes to his left hand.

Without blowing my own horn it was very lucky I decided to go out with them. The grizzly performed flawlessly in the recovery operation. But above all else keeping a clear head in an emergency situation can make all the difference.

Have fun out there boys and girls but be safe. Enjoy the holidays and return to your loved ones.

First day out in some deeper snow after installing the Commander tracks on the Grizzly.

What a tank with the tracks on! Going through up to 3 ft of loose powder and the thing never spun a track, just pushes through. Machine powers them easily, was able to break trail running in 4Hi. Burns a little more fuel than normal though.

Few pics –

Grizzly 550…has had the same belt every model year. In 2011, the 700 shared that same belt. Every other year the 700 used a different part number. What is the difference?? Is the 700 belt just heavier than the 550? 550 belt is about 85 bucks vs. 110 for the 700…

Looking to get my first ATV and decided I want to get a used Grizzly. Budget is about $4000. What should I look for? What are the best years? Miles? Hours? Extras? Pros/Cons? Pitfalls – in regards to used machines? Ally tips appreciated as I am a newbie… Dealers? Craigslist? Thanks.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL !!!!!!
