Re: luggage question
The suzi topbox is good, its waterproof and a decent size. However for a weekend away a sleeping bad takes a lot of space and a tent just will not fit.
The simpilest solution is to find a way for the rentec rack to fit whilst the topbox is on. 2 problems, the fixing point is the same for both and would need modded in some way. Secondly the raised crpss spar of the rentec and the topbox are in the same space.
The second option is to find a way to reinforce / support the rentec and mod it to allow the suzi box to bolt to it. This would alow me to use the topbox with a pillion (handy for days away) and when in cunjunction with soft panniers would allow us the weekend trips that we currently use the soft tailpack and panniers for. However if this option i would like to only mod the rack and not the fitting plate which would allow the removal of the box (better riding whilst away) or the option to use instead of pillion.
confused, I am. Didnt say it woulb be easy.
FGO is that a rentec rack? did you have to cut / remove the raised cross member?
I realise reading this its not easy to picture, i'll try to get a couple of phots when i get the bike back together.
