Hi everyone, new here. I am thinking of getting a 700-4. I have a few questions before I pull the trigger.
How many miles on a tank of fuel?
Is it possible to carry spare gas while being used as a 4 seater?
Is it difficult to steer at low speed with 4 occupants?
Is it difficult to service at home? Ie: oil changes
Your information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you for the welcome, and your info. Your sig says you have a black 700-4? I can't seem to find a black one... Do you have a picture of it? Would love black, to go with my '08 420. :mrgreen:

It's the one here and instructions on how to do it or if the 15's come out you could get the Honda Version or buy the plastic and swap the 14 plastic for the 15. Which it what I am going to do as soon as the parts are available.

It's also on https://www.redmountainproducts.net.

Your 700-4 looks awesome in black, will have to wait for a '15.

I looked at some pictures of the bed extender, it looks sweet. That will definitely be the first accessory.

I bought the bed extender and then found the Ogio bag to go on the back rack of the quad. It fits on the tailgate when the seats are up, but can't use bed extender. Don't remember the model of Ogio bag, but it's the one with the two lunch bags that velcro to the front. I found it was very dust proof, and had good storage capacity. I don't know that I'll ever use the bed extender now.

Got a pic? I'd like to see what you're describing it sounds like I could use that.

I used a couple of carribiners to hook the shock cord to the bed tie-downs.
