I currently have a ’14 570 and a ’15 570 SP. I really love these machines. I have the Polaris lock and ride box on the back of both machines. One has the back rest and saddle bags (unfortunately, I didn’t realize both of these items were discontinued when I bought my second box).

For day trips, this box combined with the front storage compartment will hold everything I need and more. I have tools, spare parts, 2 1 gallon gas containers, first aid kit, etc.

I am now looking at taking some longer overnight trips (3-4 days) and would like to have more storage. I’m looking at two upgrades, but need some advice.

1. Adding a front storage bag for clothing and possibly food. I saw the Quadra Gear Sidewinder on a video and fell in love with it. It is exactly what I want, but then I realized it is likely too big for the front of a 570 (I also have a rack extender). Is there a similar bag or box that will offer lots of storage while offering protection from water and dust?
2. I would like to regain some space in the rear box by adding external fuel cans such as the rotopax. I also don’t like the idea of having food or clothes in the rear box with gas, so this would take the gas out of the box when on longer trips. What have others done? Is having the extra weight an issue when on steep hills? I could put it on the front, but then I couldn’t put the bag/box on the front and that is a higher priority.

I just wanted to open it up to suggestions. As I mentioned, the additional storage on the front is a higher priority, but the external gas can mount would also be really nice.
