Install box?

Ask you this. Should i wear boxers or briefs?

no right or wrong answer. same as your bike. your needs will vary.

you like your bike to look aerodynamic and all that, then feel free to leave your bike empty. take care of carrying stuff yourself though.

if you dont like to be enumbered by stuff while you are riding, then feel free to install your boxes. they come in various sizes for various needs. from the rediculously tiny givi micro2 to the massive maxia.

you may find loading your top rack to affect the handling of your bike as the center of gravity is pulled back. you can avoid this by install side boxes and load your heavy stuff in there. that way you can avoid the problem of your bike handling erratically when you vary your loads.

or to enjoy the best of both worlds, consider bags instead. saddle bags, seat bags, tank bags, etc etc. you need em, you pop them on. you dont, then its easy to remove.

s4vtec or palmer...may i know how much u spend putting the side box...thanks...interested to do in the near future maybe....cause want to buy transalp but cannot get..then perhap make my s4 look like tourer bike lols......

[williamleesg]

any s4 riders with box ever tried going at speed above 130km/h? Will the box vibrate and cause the bike to be unstable?can still hit top speed (180km/h) with box?

[rayhunter]

still can go up to that speed..no problem.personally i dun feel the bike is unstable,maybe due to my body weight...

[williamleesg]

oh..i was told by my friend to remove if i were to travel at such(180km/h) speeds..if not,maybe box will fly..

[s4vtec]

if u get Brand new Wing rack and side boxes and top box from shop approx $900.

my side boxes and wing rack are 2nd hand and top box with base plate is brand new. total i spent $500.

hope the above info helps...


with side boxes...



without side boxes...

[s4vtec]

oh..i was told by my friend to remove if i were to travel at such(180km/h) speeds..if not,maybe box will fly..

i travel high speeds on the NSHW with full load 3 boxes without any problems on handling...

another forumer hit 220+km/hr on the NSHW with the same setup...

it will take some time for you to get used to the new handling after u had installed the boxes...

[s4vtec]

stable or unstable, i somehow believe its all in the mind of the rider...

[rayhunter]

another forumer hit 220+km/hr on the NSHW with the same setup...

how to get the reading of 220km/h? changing the original meter with higher reading or got it from a digital meter?..

[williamleesg]

Alright,might try it one fine day..

[rayhunter]

i guess the box some how will be useful if on high speed,doesn't it act as a 'spoiler' pushing the bike down thus more stable,like racing cars.........

[s4vtec]

how to get the reading of 220km/h? changing the original meter with higher reading or got it from a digital meter?..

clock by liter bike...

[rayhunter]

clock by liter bike...

oic.... thought it was a S4.

[PaLmEr]

how to get the reading of 220km/h? changing the original meter with higher reading or got it from a digital meter?..

i guess the speed reading was from a bigger bike.

[rayhunter]

i guess the speed reading was from a bigger bike.

yeah, s4vtec bro said it was clocked by a liter bike..

[kmax]

those who love storage...

pelican cases are good choice..

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums...postcount=4321

Here's the pics of my new pelican cases.. Big big big.. Can fit two full face and 1 half cap in a case.. =0)

Think they are retailing for approx 1k but being a cheapo as I am I got em cheaper.. =0)

just to share that adding sideboxes plus wing rack need not bust ur budget......its jus a matter of looking and waiting for the right reasonable deal that is if u dont mind used stuffs....i bought my used wing rack for 100...the side boxes wic looks pretty new for 60 ...all from garage sales..my top box was e42l from my previous bike...so total is 160 bucks......the brackets i customize myself as i saw from the shop it looks pretty flimpsy n it extends the wing rack far from the side of e bike when installed so makin squeezing between vehicles more difficult....

i must admit that 150 quoted for a pair of brackets to two points on a bike from a shop wic installs wing racks is pretty expensive....so i made one which have 3 points wic anchors to the suspension point plus the 2 points in the bike along each side..and it is spaced just wide enough that the wing rack do not to touch the sides of of the bike..i also added a bar behind so that the brackets dont sag with time with constant heavy loads....n its pretty firm ....anyways im riding a PB1

to install on a super 4 jus the new wing rack alone plus brackets costs like $360 the last time i checked at 219 wic is like a yr ago...could be more expensive now...hope this helps ....

[D_Lufy]

Hi,

Anyone has Givi E21 installed? Does your box hit the end can when going over hump?

[PaLmEr]

Hi,

Anyone has Givi E21 installed? Does your box hit the end can when going over hump?

if done properly, the box will not hit the end can at all as both are suspended.

[Advrider]

Hi,

Anyone has Givi E21 installed? Does your box hit the end can when going over hump?

I had the wingrack and exhaust lowered so the pillion will be comfortable. It'll also be easier to mount with 2 side boxes attached.

[joajas]

I see that your box above the end can is very near near to your end can. Won't the box hit the end can? Just curious
