Graspur Single ATV Gun & Bow Rack - Model ATV1

I have only had it on the ATV for 1 day so far, but took it for a test ride with my shotgun secured in the rack... and it worked great. I believe it will work well, and hold up for years. Easy installation... the bars on my rack are quite a bit smaller than the mounting brackets, so I made them 'bigger' by wrapping a little hockey tape on them... worked great.

Easy to install, fit my front rack perfectly! I’ve traveled with my rifle and my crossbow with no problems! Great addition to my Yamaha Grizzly

Pain in the but to install. Definately works but it took an hour to put on.Grips well. Security bands probably wont last forever and the plastic gives the impression its fragile.Sks on a foreman.

Perfect for there intended purpose. Holds firmly in place. Will not scratch.

Very pleased with this product. It was very inexpensive so I had my doubts. I set it up on my 4-wheeler to accommodate my crossbow but it works well for my rifle as well.Highly recommended

Couple of design issues:1) The location where you screw in the rack is covered (see photo), so you can’t fit a socket in there. This makes installing a pain unless you have a ratcheting wrench that can slip in there. Not a deal breaker, but useful to know ahead of time.2) attachment is with a single U bolt, so you better crank is on very hard. I use to mount spearguns on a fuel rack on the back of a jet ski, and one of the racks slipped in mild chop, dumping my gun into the ocean. Would have been lost if the gun wasn’t also tethered. I ultimately switched back to racks that attach with 4 standard bolts because of this.Pros: off-set does provide more cargo room as advertised.

For the price they seem good - the ubolts could be longer but they worked - gun fits well even without the straps - lets see how they hold up but right now I am happy with my purchase

I bought these for carrying gardening implements, such as my Husqvarna string trimmer on my Arctic Cat 400. Because it is very long (and most of the things I'm likely to carry are long), I oriented them front-to-back by putting one mount on the front rack and one on the rear. My rack is 3/4" round tubing. The mounting is easy enough with the U-bolts, but unfortunately there's not enough contact area, and the plastic of the base is not rigid enough to really get it tight. When I encountered even the slightest bump, the Graspur would slip and the string trimmer would start to lean over to the side. I had to ride one-handed and hold onto it to keep the mount from falling over and dumping my string trimmer.The fact that these are offset is a blessing and a curse. The good part is that it gives me more room, so that I can leave these mounted and still have room for my spray tank on the rear rack. Also it gives me a little bit more leg room on the right. But the offset also gives it a greater mechanical advantage, increasing the twisting force on the U-bolt over bumps. The U-bolt could only be tightened a certain amount. Tightening it more just led to the ears on the bottom of the Graspur rack bending down. The plastic is slippery, so it's no help it keeping it from rotating on the rack. Not to mention that, as it rotates, the u-bolt is destroying the paint on your rack (not a concern for me, as the paint on my 20-year-old Arctic Cat racks is already history). As is, the u-bolt did not work for me. It might have better success on larger diameter tubes, or square tubes, but from what I've seen, 3/4" round tubing is very common on ATV racks. These might be adequate for people carrying something lighter, like fishing poles, bows or rifles. But I'm just as likely to be carrying a 20 pound breaker bar or post hole digger.Graspur has made elongated holes where the U-bolt goes through, to allow for swiveling the rack on the tube. I have no use for this feature, and I can only imagine it would be useful where racks don't have tubing at 90º to the axis of the vehicle. Because they wanted this pivoting ability, they had to make the bottom of the Graspur flat (also to accommodate square tubing), which doesn't help grip the tube. In making it as universal as possible, they sacrificed much of its holding ability.What it needed to make it really useful was a better clamping system, with more support for the ears, and more contact area on the tubing of the rack. That would allow the mount to live up to the strength of the upper part. I cut some chunks of 1"x2.5"x1.25" 6061 aluminum, and I machined a set of proper holders for it, fitted to my particular rack. These are now rock-solid, and cannot be moved. Also, the flat mounting provides support for the plastic ears on the base of the Graspur, keeping them from bending down as the bolts are tightened.Obviously this is only a solution for people who have a machine shop. If I'd hired someone to machine these pieces, they would have been far more expensive than the Graspur itself. I think that anybody who has a 3D printer could produce something very similar, custom-sized to their rack, and it would be a vast improvement on the holding ability of the U-bolt, even in plastic. Some extra support would also keep the ears of the Graspur from bending down as the bolts are tightened.The rubber bands and the little nubs on the inside do a pretty good job of holding, but I can't help but think they're not going to survive very long in the Texas sun, so when I'm not using them, I take them off and store them in the Cat's trunk. I've bought some extras, as I expect them to get broken and/or lost out in the fields (there are replacements available on Amazon, both from Graspur and 3rd-party vendors).
