New Basic Box

[mvk24_imp]

This thread made me curious about setting up a HF box with U bolts so I could keep it off and only put it on when I am doing a trip. I know the seat isn't on and I didnt mount it (this is the box I use for my drone batteries)

But it doesn't look as out of place as I thought it would on the rear rack. Might grab a second box and set it up as an option for when I can finally get out on the bike. I saw on Adv rider guys mounting Rotopax and those tool holder pipes onto the sides of the box. Also screwing small tie down hooks onto the top of them so you could add more gear ontop. So really you'd never lose the space of the rear rack.

- it may not look the part but functional/utility wise I can definitely see why people use top boxes for camping/touring now.

- Whats the real weight limit of the rear rack? I think factory said 20lbs but it has got to be alot more than that. This is practically the same diameter as the handlebars.

- I can fit an IFAK, one of my lightweight cooksets, and a roll of duct tape with plenty of space to spare (for size reference).
