The CB1100 Community Forum

I was looking for a cheap, detachable solution for grocery runs and this is what I came up with. I think it suits the spirit of a retro bike like the CB1100 just fine:

I figured rubber bands would be easiest to put on and take off. They're cheap, plentiful and easily replaced if one breaks. When he saw my setup, my mechanic friend suggested I should probably double them up for added security:

Lol..cool. Lost in the 70s.

Rubber bands would make me worry... I'd pickup some reusable zip ties. Much more secure, still easy to put on and off.
Wow, I'm an idiot, you win... I need some coffee!

i like it! alot
i currently use a cargo net and duffle, yours is much more similar to what my honda sl70 looked like back in the day when i ran to local market.

Hey, thanks, Scott!

not a pic of my actual bike, but it was blue n white and i hauled more stuff with that bike

Cool bike, Scott. I can see that rockin' a milk crate. Have you ever seen this website? This guy restores those little SLs and other Honda minibikes:

I wouldn't trust rubber bands for that. Get some of those black rubber bungee cords for that. I know a guy who rides from cocoa beach to Orlando with a milk create bungeed to his sportster everyday.

Thanks for the tip, dlhmatt, I'll have to look into those things.
