Top mount luggage?

canib · 01-18-2007, 01:41 PM

I've having a hard time deciding on what to use for trunk space. I've super short on funds, but would like to permanently mount a hard trunk.

I found this; http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...014603/c-10111

which is cheap, but I can't find a rack to mount them to.

I found some good looking Givi's, but those seem top of the line, which I can't afford right now.

Thanks for any advice!

You're in luck!!! I recently picked up the "Sport Tail Bag" from Cortech
#82-417 ($60.00) @ my Honda dealer. Yeah, they actually had this item on the shelf....lucky me. I too was considering luggage for some time...it's frustrating...buuuuuut as fate would have it, I happened onto this piece. You can also purchase the side saddlebags, they all buckle together. Since I don't do any lengthy overnite stays, the tail bag works great. It can hold a couple of days worth of change of clothes comfortably, plus any misc small items. You won't be able to carry any passengers, unless of course, you volunteer them to hold the Tail Bag.

It's easily attached with bungie cords to the passenger grab rails and passenger footpeg brackets. There's also a non slip rubberized liner (removable) that keeps it in place. Hope this helps.

Peace and ride safe.

ps I have some images but don't know how the heck to attach them. help!
