My cheap trick for a rear rack top box!

[Ghis_imp]

I had installed one of those on my '85 Kawasaki Vulcan700 some 20 years ago, and I was surprised to see that they still make them. It was a little weird, but when you think about it, it's no worse looking than some of them expensive rugged top box you can spend several hundreds on, and this one is only $30. I will attach it to the Honda rack which should arrive soon. It's gonna look good you'll see. It's got black, silver, and the handles are red. You can even lock the handles with pad locks if you want. Oh yeah!

I will follow up with pictures, and the system I'm going to fabricate, to make it a quick release removable trunk. Who knows, might even put LEDs on it!

It's only 8 US gallons. In comparison the Honda Top Box Kit is 35 liters, or 9.25 US gallons. However the Honda Top Box would have to be topped off with soft items if filling it up to maximum capacity to accommodate the curved lines, and shut.

That's a great solution, Ghis.

I like it. I don't like the look of top boxes and think that pack case strapped to the Honda rack will look purposefully rugged. It looks waterproof and when your trip is over you can use it as an ice chest! Well done.

You can also use it during the trip as an ice chest and have some cold drinks with you.

Excellent ! I like the squareness of it, has more of an adventure bike look. I have put one in my Amazon shopping cart !

Perfect for a picnic in the park!

Are you a former KLR owner?

Great idea ghis, can't wait to see some pictures of it all mounted up.

Picked up the box today from REI for $29.95. Now waiting for the Honda rear rack to arrive. I like that the colors match the '13 CB, with black, silver/gray, and red.
