Instead of spending £££ on a top box and rack, I was thinking... I already have an old honda top box...
Would it be possible to bolt a top box directly to the rear seat. Take off the rear seat, drill 4 holes in the bottom of the bot and 4 in the seat, apply nuts and bolts liberally. ??? Click seat back into place. Obviously I'd buy a cheap fleabay seat to drill, any thoughts or tips? |

kinda rough idea that as drilling through your cusion on the seat will make the rear seat look rather nasty, if you can get a plate to fit to bottom of the top box you could apply sum ingenuity and fastion a way for it to fit onto the rear grap handle for the pillion. thats what ive done to mine and its just 2 bolts on and off.

Definitely can be done. A spare seat was got for my SV and a scooter topbox bolted onto it. Bit of a fiddle getting the bolts through the seat foam but works a treat.
