My favorite mod just now...

Is my horrible luggage rack. I got a damaged pillion seat, stripped off the foam, and used it along with a Renntec rack to carry around wheels etc... But it's not so good for larger items, boxes and the like. So I bolted a couple of wooden slats across it, drilled holes in the end to take bungee hooks, and now along with the Renntec I can attach anything to my SV

Today I visited Staples and came home with 2 35 litre plastic boxes and 2 18 litre ones. Also 3 bins... Made it just a little hard to get on and off, but otherwise worked a charm. Also had a rucksack with 4 litres of oil and 4 litres of coolant in it.

On the down side, it makes the bike look absolutely ridiculous

Nutter...

This thread, as they say, is useless without pictures

Could have been fun if it rained hard & started filling the boxes.

I'm already getting a bad feeling about this

No you failed to mention the one other thing your bike must have with all that stuff aft of the shock---The 20lb lead weight stuck i behind ya headlight --to keep the front wheel on the ground

! it really does need photos...

The most I've managed was a hoover... or 2 front pannels and a rear, filtering though London after the Soho Meet.

can you pick me a footon up from ikea?

I need a water butt from my local garden centre - how much do you charge for delivery

Nah, wouldn't have done it with anything heavy, the boxes probably weigh a kilo or two total. Hardly any weight behind the wheel either.

Didn't get any pics but I could recreate it in the style of crimewatch
