New Basic Box

[Gone in 60]

While I can't live without the practicality of a Givi Monokey top box for my daily commuting and errand running, my V-40 and V-47 boxes look more like the back end of a car with their fake taillights and frippery.

I wanted to adapt a plain briefcase or something similar to the Monokey mounting plate to give me a box that fit more with the retro style of the CB and my Bonneville. I gave up and ordered an E36 box.

I've been in Florida working for the past two weeks, and am back for a few days to catch up at the office before returning to FL for a few more weeks. The new box was waiting for me, and it did an admirable job of carrying my lunch and paperwork to the shop this morning. It's a lot more basic than my fancier boxes, but for the basics, more asthetically pleasing. I'll put some black reflective tape around the circumfrence and call it good.

Felt great to get back on the CB this morning, even if it's just for a few days before I return to the job site, where I'll be in trucks and on scooters.
