I've looked at the Strong Made front basket as well. I'm concerned it would decrease my view of the trail right in front of the machine too much. I'm 5'-8", and consequently sit lower in the cab than taller folks. The Strong Made basket appears to be a fair bit more visually obtrusive than the Quad Boss.
I'm intending to use my P500 for solo week-long hunting / camping trips in mountainous, rocky areas. And watching the trail carefully right in front of the machine and choosing the right line will no doubt save me a lot of grief.
I was really interested in an ATV-style front rack for carrying field-dressed deer back to the truck. I've ordered a Dusty Dawg split-level carrier for the rear rack, and the way it's designed is optimal for duffles, dry bags, etc. Carrying my spare tire in (or under) the upper basket will be very helpful as the whole rig will drive right into the 10' garage of my 5th wheel toyhauler.
I suspect I need to shelve the front rack idea for the time being. I can always get a moving blanket at Harbor Freight, then use it to protect the P500's hood when transporting field-dressed game animals back to the truck during those one or two rides a year. Having the benefit of the best visibility and being able to choose the proper line without having a spotter is no doubt far more important in the big scheme of things.
