I didn't even know ATC's had these black tool boxes on them till I bought my 350X and it has one. Now I want one for my 200X. Why I don't know. Probably casue its an OEM thing. Anyways, each week one pops up on ebay and each time I try to get it and its gets bidded up so high ($40 to $60) for a black box that doesn't make it any faster. Anyone know of where I can get a tool box besides ebay. Thanks

I broke the trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro out of the one that came on my brand new 200x within a week by bottoming out too hard. Be careful if you get one.

I took one off a 125m in a junk yard and fabbed up a small bracket and it looks like it belongs on there

i went and got mudflaps for my fenders tonight along with spare fenders and seat for the 185 but the guys house that i was at has a ton of trike parts from 110's 185's and 200's just from what i seen on the shelf he had about 5 tool boxes i bet he'd sell for 5-10 bux cause i got almost mint fenders with mudflaps still mint and the seat is awsome just the seat pan a little ruff ,but anyway i picked that up for $40 ,so if anyone wants a toolbox i might be able to buy one and ship it..

Find out if a tool box from an '84 200M would work (doubt it, but who knows), I've got a spare I'll let go cheap.

Anyone remember the 'fender pack' that mounted on the front fender back in the 80's?

if you guys are wanting these things simply to carry things in, just get an old fanny pack/belt pack and wrap it around the handle bars. It works great. I've been doing it for years.

That's one of the reasons I got a 6pack rack & the softside cooler with a place for plugs & plyers! Ya know the 400ex has always come with that stock tool box, I'd be willing to bet it fits a bunch of trikes without much modification too. :beer

You could do what I did and go to the Harley shop and buy a $130.00 Chrome Stash tube. It is about 10' long and 2" diameter and has a threaded cap at each end. It sure looks cool.

Good idea! The way it mounts would make it easy to adapt to almost anything.

I have one for a 110 if anybody wants it. I will let it go for $8 +shipping. I don't need toolboxes. I removed it because it doesn't make my bike any faster.
