rack and top box - which one (curvy)
I'm in need of the above as I'm changing a job and I'm going to be commuting 50miles a day. I know I can put any box on renntec rack but what are the other options? Also I don't want to spend a fortune that I haven't got so any advice more than welcome.
I think I've placed this thread in wrong section, mods please move to sv talk. Last edited by alfa.rbt; 23-07-12 at 07:49 PM. |

I wouldn't put a topbox on a renntec, its sort of asking for trouble.
Get another pillion seat and bolt it to that. Its been one quite a few times on here

Re: rack and top box - which one (curvy)
what size box are you looking to mount, and what weight will it carry?

Re: rack and top box - which one (curvy)
Givi:
without box: With a 46 litre box: IMO Givi is well worth the money you pay for it. The arms and rack are about £100, plus the top box. You;ll pay about £200 for a new 46 litre box, and it is best to go monokey as they are rated for 10kg in the boxes, they will hold mroe though. |
